How to knit a vest for a girl with knitting needles. Step-by-step instructions, diagrams and descriptions, knitting patterns

One of the popular hobbies is knitting. You can create unique clothes for children, be it a boy or a girl, using ready-made patterns. Any item, including vests and blouses, can be easily found in the schematic image. If you want to create a unique item for your child, you can decorate it with drawings, patterns or bright accents in the form of ribbons and lacing.

Vest Pattern Options

"Pearl" pattern

Despite the simplicity of execution, this pattern gives the thing an interesting look. The first and second rows are knitted by alternating 2 front and 2 back loops. The next two tracks are knitted similarly, but the arrangement of the broaches must be done in a checkerboard pattern.

Braid pattern

Knitted vests for girls decorated with this pattern are very popular among needlewomen. The "braid" patterns are very diverse, as can be seen from the pictures below. To make the pattern neat, needlework masters advise purchasing a special curved knitting needle for knitting braids. It will also be useful for creating the "harness" pattern.

The appearance of the braid is influenced by the material of the threads.

For a lush pattern, it is recommended to use thick yarn, and for thin braids, cotton threads are more suitable.

Double braid:

• The number of loops collected must be a multiple of 12. In the center of the sequence, 3 folds are counted for the symmetry of the pattern and 2 loops along the edges, the so-called edge yarns. In each line, the final 3 folds are knitted with a purl stitch.
• In the first row, the loops are knitted alternately with the front and back stitch, 3 pieces each.
• The second line is knitted on the wrong side. It is necessary to ensure that the purl and front folds in the upper strips correspond to the location of similar loops in the lower cycles (Fig. 1).
• In the third row, the pattern is interlaced to the left. In this work, you will need a knitting needle for knitting braids. First, the front yarns are pulled through, the back loops, then the bends are thrown onto the curved knitting needle, the next ones are knitted with a purl surface. Each time, 3 loops are taken.
• The seventh cycle is performed symmetrically to the third, with a weave to the right.
• The ninth sequence starts the knitting from the beginning.

Voluminous braid:

• 15 stitches are cast on with knitting needles, including 4 folds for the edge and symmetry.
• In the first, third, seventh and ninth rows, 2 yarn overs are knitted with purl stitch from the edges and 11 front loops in the middle.
• In odd sequences, knitting is done in reverse. It is important to ensure that the loops in the lower and upper lines correspond to each other.
• The fifth row is a braid weave. It is formed by pulling 2 purl stitches, then 3 loops are transferred to a secondary knitting needle and knitted with purl stitch after 3 front folds, finally 3 front loops are knitted, the remaining 2 are knitted with purl stitch (Fig. 2).
• The eleventh sequence begins with 2 purl and 3 knit yarn overs. The middle 3 folds are placed on an additional knitting needle and knitted in stockinette stitch after 3 purl yarn overs. The remaining 2 stitches are knitted in stockinette stitch.

Braid "paths":

• An even number of loops is cast on the knitting needle.
• In the middle of the first track, 2 pairs of front loops are knitted. On both sides, the pattern is knitted in mirror image. On the right side, a 2x2 braid is knitted with a slope to the left, on the left side, the slope goes to the right. Symmetrically, 2 front and back loops are knitted for them. The track is closed with front and edge folds.
• The second, fourth and sixth lines are knitted the same way. In the center of the cycle there are 16 loops, knitted with purl stitch. Symmetrically, 2 face loops are knitted to them. At the end of the row, one purl and edge bend are knitted.
• The third and fifth rows are knitted similarly to the first, with the number of folds reduced by 4 pairs.

Pattern "harnesses"

Scheme:

• The number of loops collected must be divisible by 10. To the resulting number, 2 folds are added to form the edge and symmetry.
• At the beginning of the first row, 2 purl, 4 knit folds are pulled through. The next 2 yarn overs are removed back onto a curved knitting needle and, after 2 folds, are knitted with the front surface from the main row. The cycle is completed with 2 purl loops.
• The diagram in Fig. 3 shows the algorithm for knitting even rows.
• In the third sequence, all loops are knitted in pairs. The first and last two pairs must be knitted with a purl stitch, then with a face stitch on the right edge and with a mirror pattern on the left end. The fifth and sixth loops are removed back onto an additional knitting needle. After 2 face stitches, the removed loops are also knitted with a face stitch.
• In the fifth row, the first 4 pairs are knitted in the following algorithm: 2 purl loops, the next 2 loops are removed, 2 front loops, loops from the additional needle are knitted with the front surface. The final 3 pairs of folds are divided into 4 front and 2 purl loops.
• From the seventh cycle the pattern is repeated from the first sequence.

Cell or honeycomb pattern

Scheme:

• An even number of loops, multiple of 4, is cast on with knitting needles. To these are added 2 edge folds and a loop to form the symmetry of the pattern.
• The first row consists of alternating knit and 3 purl stitches. Before the edge fold, there should be 1 loop left, which should be pulled through with the front surface.
• The pattern of the second cycle is a mirror image of the pattern of the first row.
• The third sequence is framed with edge satin stitch at both ends. After the front fold, 3 loops are removed. The entire strip is knitted in this order.
• Fourth strip: edge bend, alternation of 1 purl stitch and 3 front stitches, edge yarn over.
• Knitting of the 3rd and 4th cycles is repeated from rows 5 to 10.
• The eleventh row is knitted as follows: edge bend, 2 purl yarn overs, 4 draw throughs, 1 front loop and 3 purl yarn overs. Alternate to the end of the track and close it with 2 purl loops and 1 edge bend.
• In the twelfth strip, 1 edge drawstring, 2 purl stitches, alternating 1 purl stitch and 3 front yarn overs are knitted.
• In the thirteenth sequence, the edge fold continues by removing 2 yarn overs. The pattern continues by alternating 1 purl stitch, after which 3 stocking stitches are removed.
• In the fourteenth row, the edge draw is followed by a pair of loops knitted in stockinette stitch. After this, the pattern continues with alternating purl loops and 3 front satin stitches. At the end of the track, knit 2 front draws and close the edge fold.
• Cycles 15 through 20 are worked in the same way as rows 13 and 14.

Simple vest

For a girl aged 4-5 years, you will need 350 g of yarn of the chosen colour. For a warm version, it is recommended to take threads containing up to 50% wool. For a light version, cotton yarn is suitable.

The back and the front side up to the neck are knitted identically in two different parts. 90 loops are cast on knitting needles, which are knitted with a 2x2 elastic band. At a height of 5 cm, the cycles are knitted with garter stitch.

To round the neckline from the back, at a height of 55 cm, the middle 27 loops are closed, and the remaining tracks are knitted separately. They are closed as follows: 1 time 3 yarn overs, 2 times 2 folds, 1 time 1 draw through. At a height of 60 cm, all loops are closed. To create a V-shaped neckline at the front, at a height of 48 cm from the bottom edge, the middle fold is closed.

Next, in every second row, 1 yarn over is closed. At a height of 60 cm, the rows are closed completely. The side edges and shoulders are sewn together with a regular seam. If desired, buttons can be placed on the shoulder seam.

Vest with hood

The model is suitable for beginner needlewomen. The vest is made in garter stitch. The edges of the product can be made in a contrasting color. Based on the size of a 2-year-old child, you need to take 150 g of yarn of the main color and 50 g of thread for tying the contours.

Fig. 4. Pattern of a vest with a hood

Each part of the vest is knitted separately, as shown in Fig. 4. The number of loops is calculated for the average size of a 3-year-old child. To obtain armholes on the back and side zones, 20-22 cm from the first strip on both sides are closed 2 folds and in each 2nd cycle 3 loops are removed. After 32-34 cm all folds are closed.

To make a buttonhole, step back from the side edge of 3 tracks and pull 2 ​​yarn overs together with the front surface. In the back row, the yarn over should be knitted with the front surface. The first armhole should be located at a height of 2-3 cm from the bottom line, the following armholes at a distance of 6 cycles from each other.

To assemble the parts, you need to wet them, stretch them a little and let them dry. For the strips, you should knit a 1 cm wide strip with garter stitch along the edges. The parts are sewn together with a mattress stitch.

Openwork vest with knitting needles

The size of the knitted vest is designed for a girl of 6-7 years. For the back, you need to cast on 95-100 loops and knit them according to the pattern of the selected openwork pattern. At a height of 30-32 cm, you should close the middle 20 loops to form the neck. Then, on every second sequence, you need to close 2-3 loops from the center.

At a height of 35 cm, close the remaining row. The side parts of the jacket are knitted in a similar manner. The neckline level starts at 25 cm and 4 yarn overs are closed in every second strip. To create a conical sleeve, 1 yarn over is added on both sides in every second cycle (Fig. 5).

Vest with ornament

The vest model can be chosen quite simple: a yoke on thin straps without fasteners. It is recommended to knit the base on circular knitting needles so that the product turns out seamless. For a vest with a diamond-shaped pattern, you will need red, yellow, blue and black yarn. The pattern is knitted with front yarns on the front side, purl folds on the inside according to the pattern in Fig. 9.

The broaches should be crossed from the wrong side.

The straps are knitted separately using garter stitch. If you have the skill, you can attach them to the vest using a crochet hook.
