Mohair jumper for women knitting. Pattern with description

Knitted items made of downy thread look soft and gentle. A knitted women's mohair jumper is always very warm, despite the thinness of the material. In the article, you can study knitting patterns with a description of sweaters that match the pattern and style.

Advantages of mohair yarn

Mohair yarn is very fluffy. It consists of a base (acrylic, polyamide) and fluffy wool fibers. Externally fluffy wool is strung on the base without additional twisting, therefore it looks voluminous, fluffy.

Basically, goat hair is taken, which is mixed with the base. If it is made only from hair, the thread will be fragile, it will disintegrate into separate villi.

Advantages of yarn:

• Elasticity of the thread, its resilience and strength.
• Unobtrusive beautiful shine.
• Hypoallergenic and hygroscopic material.
• Resistant to minor stains, mohair clothing does not need to be washed often.
• Excellent thermal insulation and draping properties.

Another unique feature of the yarn is its pliability. In addition to jumpers, children's toys and bed linen, wardrobe items and even accessories are knitted.

A weightless mohair jumper for women is knitted with knitting needles. When folded, it takes up little space, so it can even fit in a lady's bag. In boutiques and stores, such a thing can cost from 3 to 10-15 thousand rubles. The cost depends on the status of the boutique, model, size. But there are many step-by-step descriptions to make it yourself.

Peculiarities of working with mohair

Despite such a number of advantages, the product may not work out right away.

In your work you need to know some secrets so that the item can be knitted not only quickly, but also last a long time:

• It is better to knit by hand, with knitting needles (crochet hook). Too tight knitting looks very unattractive from this yarn. Long pile always quickly rolls up, forming pellets. Sweaters knitted on a machine do not look airy and fluffy, as when hand knitted. Here, a certain experience of the craftswoman is required so that the loose fabric looks even.
• To make the fabric aesthetically pleasing, you need to take tools that are slightly larger than those used when working with regular yarn. Then the structure of the fabric will be airy and delicate, it will be slightly translucent. It is important to understand! Thinness does not affect warmth at all.

• Too loose lace will look shapeless from mohair. It is better to choose patterns that have a few holes, denser, or regular stockinette stitch. Then the jumpers will keep their shape.
• Mohair clothes do not tolerate repeated washing. Therefore, only manual treatment with a special detergent or hair shampoo is recommended. Dry cleaning and drying in the sun are not provided. All this quickly wears out mohair items.

Selecting yarn and knitting needles, calculating the number of threads

When purchasing yarn, you need to do some simple testing. First, you need to pull the end of the thread and check how tightly it is twisted. Then squeeze the ball tightly in your hand, feel how it squeaks.

If the creaking sound is distinct, it means that the yarn contains a lot of synthetics. Or you can add a bobbin thread of the same color to the mohair when knitting, then the product will acquire additional strength.

The needles are selected according to the number indicated on the skein, or 1-2 sizes larger. It depends on what kind of knitted fabric the craftswoman wants to get: loose or tight. To knit the elastic, you can take knitting needles 1 size smaller than the specified number.

A mohair jumper for women with knitting needles (you need to work carefully with the description of the patterns, following the instructions) can be knitted of any model. First, you should make a control sample, according to which the knitting density is calculated.

If the knitting is too loose on the selected needles, then you need to take needles 1-2 numbers smaller. If the fabric is dense, then the tools are selected 1-2 numbers larger.

Examples of the thickness of mohair yarn of different compositions:

Thread name	Yarn composition	Yarn footage (its thickness)
Mohair with natural base	30-50% angora wool, 50-70% acrylic	500 m in 100 g of yarn
Mohair with synthetic base	30-50% angora wool, 50-70% acrylic	500 m in 100 g of yarn
Kid mohair with natural base	30-50% angora wool, 50-70% acrylic	250 m in 25 g yarn
Kid mohair with synthetic thread	30-50% angora wool, 50-70% acrylic	250 m in 25 g yarn

Choosing a women's jumper model according to your figure

Knitted women's mohair jumpers are currently at the peak of popularity.

The models differ primarily in style and thread thickness:

• The Bat model is knitted in one piece or in separate pieces. It has a special cut that smoothly widens from the waist and goes into the sleeve. This product hides figure flaws well: full arms, unwanted fat deposits on the sides.
• Models with a turn-down or stand-up collar are more suitable for a formal look. Such jumpers are allowed to be worn in the office.
• Loose-fitting, oversized items are more suitable for shopping, walking, and at home. They do not fit tightly to the body, do not restrict movement, and allow you to wear a T-shirt or tank top underneath. Items made of thin mohair do not hold their shape well, so an overly large jumper will hang on the figure shapelessly and unattractively.

• The color scheme should be chosen consciously. On the catwalks you can see rich color solutions, of which not all will suit. In choosing, it is better to rely on your preferences and on where the jumper will be worn.

If you plan to wear it to work in the office, then calm pastel colors or dark monochromatic ones will be more suitable. And if the jumper is intended for walks, then you can allow any bright color scheme.

Knitting stages, pattern construction

To construct the pattern you will need only 4 measurements:

• Length of the jumper. Measure from the base of the neck down to the desired level.
• Product width. Here you can take measurements of an item from your wardrobe, whatever width you like.
• Sleeve length. It is better to measure after the front and back are knitted.
• Sleeve width. Measure the circumference of the biceps and add 5-6 cm for a loose fit.

After preliminary measurements, a pattern sample is necessarily knitted. This is necessary to correctly calculate the number of loops and rows in the jumper. If a ready-made description is used, the sample will help to select the thickness of the knitting needles so that the appearance of the pattern matches the proposed model.

For a semi-fitted style pattern, you should add 4-5 cm to the measurements. For an oversized jumper, you need to add 10-15 cm to ensure each piece fits freely.

To form the sleeve and armhole lines, you don't need to resort to complex options. Professionals recommend using straight rectangular shapes with a slight expansion in the armholes.

Beautiful stylish mohair jumpers for women. Knitting patterns and descriptions

A women's mohair jumper with knitting needles (you can read about its production later in the article) is knitted simultaneously with the sleeve from the bottom or across, starting from one sleeve and ending with the other.

Jumper with one-piece sleeves

This style is perfect for women who want to hide some figure flaws. It is a loose cut with a large sleeve extension. This product can be made from top to bottom and from bottom to top. This will only affect the beginning of the work. Beginners are offered a description of a women's mohair jumper with knitting needles, knitted with solid sleeves at the bottom.

For size 42-44 (46-48) take: 500 (550) g ​​of brown mohair (500 m/100 g), knitting needles No. 3.5. Main pattern: according to the diagram, the rapport loops are multiples of 16 + 2 edge loops.

Jumper pattern:

Back/Front:

1. Cast on 130 (146) sts onto knitting needles and knit using the main pattern.
2. After 25 (27) cm on each side for the sleeves you need to add 1x1 loop and in every 2nd row 9 times 1 loop, 20 times 2 loops, 5 times 3 loops, 1 time 7 (4) loops and 1 time 8 (6) loops.
3. After 62 (65) cm from the cast-on edge, all loops must be closed.

For assembly, all seams are made in a convenient way. The middle 32 cm should be left open to form the neck.

Model with raglan from the neck

Mohair jumper for women, knitted (with a description of knitting raglan) knitted, no need to sew. In the process of knitting you can immediately see how the finished product will look. You can try it on and adjust the calculations. You should not choose complex patterns. You can use the usual front or back surface.

For a jumper of size 38-40 you will need 350 g of thin mohair (450 m/100 g), circular knitting needles No. 4. Before starting, be sure to knit a sample to select the thickness of the knitting needles and calculate the number of loops and rows for making the jumper.

Description:

• Work begins with the neck. The required number of loops is cast on circular knitting needles. To decorate the edge, a 1x1 or 2x2 elastic band 3-4 cm high is knitted, then the work moves to the front surface.
• The calculation of raglan loops is done in the following way: from the total number of loops, you need to subtract 8 for knitting 4 raglan lines. The remaining loops are divided into 3 parts: 1/3 will go to the back; 1/3 - to the front; 1/3 should be divided in half for knitting the sleeves.

• Raglan knitting is done by adding loops in every second row in places of raglan lines. That is, 8 loops will be added in every second row. The height of the raglan is usually knitted more than the usual armhole by 5-10 cm, for a loose fit.
• After reaching the desired height in the raglan, the knitting should be distributed onto separate circular needles. You will get separate sleeves, the main part of the back and front. Then the back and front are knitted separately as a single piece. And then each sleeve.

You can also use openwork patterns for the model. But then you will have to carefully calculate the loops when knitting the raglan.

Examples of mohair patterns are above.

Circular yoke

Jumpers with a circular yoke are also knitted in one piece, without seams. The pattern is formed from the neck, moving downwards. To knit this model of a jumper of size 46/48, you will need yarn with mohair 400 (450) g, 300 m/100 g thick, circular knitting needles No. 6. The jumper is knitted with a loose fit of 5-10 cm to the chest circumference.

Work starts from the neck:

• The required number of loops, a multiple of 6, is dialed to knit a 3x3 elastic band. 5 cm must be knitted with an elastic band.
• Then, in every 6th row, increases in the front loops begin. To do this, you need to conditionally divide their number by 3. The first increase is made from the stretch of the previous row in every 3rd front strip.

• Then after 6 rows such increases are repeated also in every 3rd strip, but already in the adjacent ones. Continue adding loops until the desired height of 25 (27 cm) is knitted.
• The fabric is then divided into the main part and sleeves. The loops for the sleeves are transferred to separate knitting needles. Each part is knitted separately to the desired length.

Knitting this cut is good because you can immediately try on the jumper and adjust the size. At the end of the work, the neck strip should be folded inward and sewn with a knitted seam.

Fitted silhouette

Mohair jumper for women, knitted with needles (with a description of the waist), will appeal to slender girls. The office often sets a dress code for work clothes.

In this case, a fitted silhouette model will do, which can be worn on its own or under a jacket. Such a jumper emphasizes the slimness of the figure, looks elegant both with a strict skirt and with jeans.

For a jumper of size 46 you will need yarn with angora or mohair (225 g), the thickness of which is 600 m/100 g, knitting needles No. 3, 40 g of beads. The main pattern is a stocking stitch with face loops.

Knitting description:

• Back. On knitting needles №3 you need to cast on 145 loops and knit with the front surface. Having knitted 4 cm from the cast-on edge, decreases for waisting begin. They are performed in every 6th row 5 times, 1 loop on both sides.

The fabric is knitted up to 21 cm in height. Then the increases begin: in every 10th row, 1 loop needs to be added 4 times on each side. At a height of 40 cm, the armhole of the sleeve is formed. To do this, in every 2nd row, you need to close 5 loops 1 time, 2 loops 3 times and 1 loop 4 times. Having knitted 22 cm, the loops are closed.

• The front is knitted like the back, only at a height of 16 cm from the cast-on edge it is divided into 2 parts, which are then knitted separately. At a height of 8 cm from the start of the decreases in the armhole, you need to form a neckline.

To do this, close the loops on both sides 1 time 8 loops, 1 time 4 loops, 2 times 2 loops, 6 times 1 loop. After 12 cm from the neckline, the remaining loops need to be closed.

• Sleeves: cast on 50 stitches and knit with stockinette stitch. For the sleeve bevels, in every 10th row, add 1 stitch on each side 18 times. After 40 cm, for the sleeve cap, remove 5 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 5 times, 1 stitch 22 times, 2 stitches 3 times. Close the remaining stitches.
• Assembly. Sew all the parts together. Crochet the neckline in the middle of the front, connecting the parts together every 8 cm. Then embroider the edges of the neckline with beads.

Jumper with openwork pattern

Jumper with jacquard on a round yoke

Jacquard patterns can be used not only for sports sweaters, but also for feminine jumpers.

For model size 42-48 you will need:

• 300 g mohair yarn (250 m/100 g);
• 30 g of yarn of different colors of the same thickness;
• knitting needles No. 6;
• circular knitting needles No. 4.5.

The jumper is knitted like a regular model with a round yoke. Only the work is done from the bottom up. First, the back and front are knitted in a circle, both sleeves to the armhole of the desired length. Then all the details are transferred to circular knitting needles, the yoke is knitted according to counting pattern No. 1.

The knitting ends with the neck, which is knitted according to the counting scheme 2 to a height of 10 cm. Then you need to bend it in half and sew it from the inside.

Kid mohair model

A jumper made of such yarn can be knitted in a very simple cut, with an "English rib" pattern. It will suit women of any age.

The proposed model is knitted from 4 parts:

• Before.
• Back.
• 2 sleeves.

For a jumper of size 38-40 you will need 300 g of yarn 75% Kid mohair and 25% silk (thickness 175 m / 25 g), circular knitting needles No. 6. For knitting from kid mohair, you can take 2 threads at a time. English elastic is a double-sided, voluminous pattern that looks very impressive.

The features of knitting English elastic can be traced from the description:

• To knit the pattern, take an odd number of loops. For a sample, you can cast on 21 loops. After knitting 10 cm up, you can calculate the density of the pattern and select the right size of knitting needles.
• Row 1 – knit with a rib pattern: 1 edge, 1 front, 1 loop is removed purlwise with a yarn over. Knit like this to the end of the row. The last edge loop is knitted purlwise.
• Row 2 – remove the edge loop, then knit as the loops look. Remove the purl with a yarn over, knit the next removed loop with a yarn over. Repeat this until the end of the row. The edge loop is knitted purlwise.

Knitting description:

• Back: this part is knitted first, as it does not require closing loops for the neck and is a simple rectangle with an elastic band at the bottom. Any elastic band can be knitted: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3. The working height of the elastic band is 6-8 cm. Then the main fabric is knitted with a pattern to the desired height.
• Knitting the front begins in the same way as knitting the back. But do not knit to the top of 18-20 rows to knit the neck. To form the neckline, you need to close the middle 11-13 loops, and finish the resulting halves separately.

First decrease 4 loops 1 time, then 3 loops 1 time, 2 loops 5 times and 1 loop 2 times. Knit the remaining rows to the desired height without decreasing.

• It is recommended to knit the sleeves at the same time to correctly calculate the number of rows. The elastic is knitted according to the same principle as on the main parts. Then, to expand the sleeve upwards, loops should be added on both sides. This is done every 10 cm: at the beginning and at the end of the intended row, a yarn over is knitted, which is then included in the pattern.

• All the details of the jumper are sewn together in a convenient way, starting with the shoulder seams, then the side seams, then the sleeves are sewn on. Loops are cast on around the neck using circular knitting needles and a regular 3-4 cm high elastic band is knitted.

Then the product must be subjected to wet treatment: gently hand wash in warm water using a mild detergent and dry horizontally.

The basic model of a jumper made of kid mohair has been relevant in the wardrobe of many fashionistas for several years now, and suits almost any style of clothing. Mohair is a unique yarn that can be used to create unique items even with simple patterns. Women's jumpers knitted with knitting needles are offered with a style and description that is accessible to beginners.
