Vest in one piece with knitting needles seamless for women. Scheme

Even a novice knitter can knit a vest in one piece. Descriptions and diagrams for creating fashionable sleeveless jacket models are not difficult.

Measurements and pattern making for a knitted vest

A women's knitted sleeveless jacket adds freshness to the image. A vest will help out when it is windy and cool outside. Various models are perfectly combined with all sorts of things. They are also decorated with fur or lace. Before starting work, experienced knitters advise making a pattern. First, take measurements.

Measure:

• neck circumference (NC);
• chest girth (CH);
• product length (PL);
• back width (BW).

They make calculations and create a pattern.

First, cut out the back of the product:

1. A rectangle is drawn on a sheet of paper. Its length is equal to OG, and its height is DI. A vertical line is drawn in the middle of the constructed figure.
2. Subtract the half-girth of the chest from the half-girth of the chest to calculate the depth of the armhole. The result is divided by 2.
3. The armhole height is calculated using the formula: OG/6+5.
4. The measurements taken are transferred to the drawing.
5. The armholes are connected with rounded lines.
6. Then the neck is built.
7. OS:3.
8. In the middle of the rectangular figure, half of the calculated result is set aside from the vertical border on both sides.
9. Then the neck is raised by 2 cm.
10. It is connected to the shoulder line.
11. The cutout is attached to the top of the rectangle using a rounded line.

The front panel patterns are constructed in the same way as the back pattern. However, the neckline is not drawn, since calculations for this element are made using a different formula:

OS/6+2

The resulting number of cm is measured down from the neckline. This line is roundly connected to the middle of the pattern.

Specifics of knitting a vest in one piece

The vest is knitted in a circle in one piece, or in turning rows from the bottom up or vice versa. Such a product has no seams. However, there are models that are stitched along the shoulders and sides, although they are knitted in one piece.

What yarn is suitable for a vest

Usually, any threads are used, as long as the pattern is clearly visible. Only yarn with too long and thick pile is excluded. The material is chosen taking into account the intended style, pattern, and also the season of the year when the sleeveless jacket will be worn.

The threads may contain:

• wool, to which other fibers are added in different proportions.
  
• pure cotton or with additives;
• mixed fibers.

A product with a raised pattern, knitted from thick yarn, looks elegant. However, a thin cotton sleeveless jacket looks no less interesting. Plain and multi-colored vests look great. The main shade of yarn and threads intended for decoration can differ by one tone or have a contrasting color.
