Knitted blouse for women easy to knit if you follow the detailed instructions. Using ready-made patterns, you can create unique items that will become part of your everyday wardrobe.
Fashionable models of women's knitted sweaters
Designers often present hand-knitted sweaters in their collections. That is why you can now see many interesting models demonstrated on the catwalks.
Conventionally they are divided into 3 groups:
- Styles with voluminous, strong or loose knitting.
- Openwork variations.
- Products made of smooth knitwear of various thicknesses.
The appropriate model is usually selected taking into account the season, the style direction prevailing in the wardrobe, the preferred color scheme. Other wardrobe elements are also taken into account. They should harmoniously combine with ready-made items.
Openwork sweaters
Openwork knit sweaters are mostly worn in the summer. They are worn with light skirts or shorts. Products with a large, voluminous pattern are best suited for cold weather. They are worn with jeans or tailored trousers.

Patterns in the form of braids, stripes, geometric figures help to correct individual features of the silhouette. Large knitting looks expressive and stylish, and also allows you to create new bright patterns.
Oversized sweaters
Voluminous styles of sweaters are very popular among fashionistas. However, such things require efforts and skills from the craftswoman. The apparent shapelessness and external illusion of the absence of a certain size is achieved only by precise observance of all proportions corresponding to the parameters of the female body.
Sweaters with different necklines
The appearance of a knitted product is largely determined by the shape of the neck. Styles with a V-shaped neckline are in fashion. Designers consider this model very convenient if a shirt with a turn-down or stand-up collar is worn under the jumper.
Items with a boat neckline are no less relevant. They visually increase the size of the shoulder girdle and add sexiness to it. A stand-up collar and a turtleneck are considered universal by designers. They look strict, but are more typical for sweaters.
Measurements for knitting a women's sweater
A knitted blouse for a woman (there are different knitting patterns, which allows you to choose the right model) is created quite simply if you have basic skills in needlework. However, before starting work, you need to take measurements. Focus on the nature of the product, the type of yarn.
The increase is made for a loose fit.
4 cm | A blouse made of thin yarn, with or without sleeves. |
6 cm | Pullovers knitted with knitting needles No. 3 and larger diameter. |
8 cm | Jackets worn with blouses and pullovers. |
10 cm | Coats or sportswear worn over thick shirts and similar items. |
First, you need to prepare the tools:
- measuring tape;
- sheet of paper;
- pencil or pen.
Required parameters:
Abbreviations | Name of the measurement | How to measure |
OG | Chest circumference | The centimeter is placed horizontally at the level of the armpits. It is used to encircle the body, including the highest points of the chest. |
FROM | Waist circumference | It is girdled with a ribbon. |
ABOUT | Hip circumference | Measurements are taken at the level of the required length of the jacket. The hips are wrapped with a centimeter tape, without tensioning. |
OSH | Neck circumference | The tape measure is wrapped around the neck and closed in the dimple at the front. |
OR | Arm circumference | Two measurements are taken. One at the fullest part of the hand. The other at the narrowest part of the wrist. |
DS | Back length | The distance is measured from the 7th cervical vertebra to the waist level. |
DR | Sleeve length | The arm is held down and slightly bent. Measure from the end of the shoulder joint to the wrist. |
SHS | Back width | The measurement is taken between the shoulders and under the armpits. |
OZ | Wrist circumference | The base of the brush is wrapped with a centimeter-thick tape. |
DP | Shoulder length | The distance is measured from the beginning of the neck to the shoulder bone. |
DI | Length of product | The centimeter tape is placed between the 7th cervical vertebra and the desired length of the jacket. |
Selecting yarn
Having decided on the model, materials are selected. For example, if the items are supposed to be worn directly on women's underwear, they are made from threads that contain as much cotton as possible. Synthetics have a longer service life, but they are not as hygienic.
To make a sweater, you can use a variety of yarns, for example:
- wool;
- alpaca;
- mohair;
- merino;
- angora;
- mink down.
Threads may vary in thickness. Thick thread and needles of the corresponding number are used for bulk knitting. Then the jumper is knitted without making openwork patterns.
Warm sweaters are also knitted from thick threads. But they must contain wool. Which allows for openwork knitting.
Mohair products look very feminine. Such products are weightless, delicate, and perfectly warm in any cold weather.

Master classes on knitting sweaters with knitting needles
For women, there is a huge number of all kinds of knitted blouse models with simple patterns and instructions for their creation.
Jacket with a rounded collar and raglan lines
First, calculate the number of loops. Count how many sts go on the neck. Divide their total number into 6 parts. Then add 4 sts, marking the raglan lines.
For the sleeves, use 1/6 st. For the front and back - 2/6 st. The reg. lines can start from 1, 2, 3 sts. Or 4 sts. For example, the sweater is knitted with a crew neckline. Its diameter is 42 cm. Knitting density is 25 sts / 10 cm. In other words, 1 cm (2.5 sts).
In this model, you need to dial 105 sts. They are rounded up to 106 sts. For example, each reg. line is knitted from 4 sts. It turns out 4 * 4 = 16 sts. They go to all reg. lines. They are subtracted from the total number of sts: 106 - 16 = 90. Then 1/6: 90/6 = 15 sts.
It turns out:
- 2/6 (30 sts) – back and front piece.
- 1/6 (15 sts) – for each sleeve.
Technique of execution:
- First, collect a number of loops equal to the diameter of the collar.
- Then knit 1 row.
- The loops of the previous row continue to be knitted in a circle (close it).
- Next, the loops are distributed on the reg. line, the front part and the back. And also the sleeves. They are guided by the calculations made.
- The reg. line is marked with a needle and multi-colored threads.
- Usually, all product design is carried out on these lines.
- In even rows, before the reg. lin., and also after them, perform one nak.
- These lines are arranged according to Fig. 1.
- Usually the neckline is deeper in the front. This is taken into account during work.
- In other words, the back, as well as part of the sleeve, are knitted with elongated rows.
- Each subsequent row is longer than the previous one.
- Next, knit the circle to the middle of the right sleeve to form the neckline.
- Before and after the reg. lin. there is a nak.
- The product is turned.
- Next, knit along the wrong side in the opposite direction to the middle of the left sleeve.
- The work is being resumed.
- And again knit to the central part of the left sleeve (with a yarn over at the reg. lin.).
- Knit another 5-6 sts. Turn the product over again.
- Thus, knit until you reach the middle of the front part (the last row must be knit) in any row.
- Then the fabric is knitted in a circle.
- After each row, from each end of the reg. st. add 1 st.
- Increases are made until the reg. line reaches the required length.
Back and front
Then only the back and front are knitted.
Procedure:
- The sleeve loops are transferred to spare knitting needles or thick thread.
- For the reg. line, string 4 sts on the sides.
- Place the back and front pieces with reg. lin on circular knitting needles.
- These parts of the product are knitted in a circle to the required length.
Completion
Finishing knitting.
Algorithm of actions:
- The sleeve loops are placed on knitting needles with a fishing line.
