Using them you can easily knit a jumper for a girl for two, three, 4 years, as well as for 5-6, 8-10, and 12-14, and 16 years. We knit the first and simplest sweater model using stockinette stitch, the back of the product is 6 cm longer than the front - asymmetrical children's models are now at the peak of popularity. The master classes conclude with a video showing step-by-step knitting of a cardigan for a 1-year-old girl.
Gray long back sweater
This stylish children's sweater, knitted in stockinette stitch, is very easy to knit. It’s enough just to learn two types of loops: knit and purl. The model is well suited for beginners to knit. In the presented model, raglan is knitted on top, but it is much easier to knit in separate parts, and at the end of the work just sew all the parts.
This way we can knit a sweater faster in time, which is important. Any wool or wool blend yarn of medium thickness is suitable for this model. How to knit such a practical thing? We knit the sweater using stockinette stitch (a row of knit stitches, a row of purl stitches), 2/2 rib only at the beginning of the back and front, on the sleeves and on the collar. The collar is voluminous, knits loosely, do not tighten the initial set of loops too much! Product sizes: a) 4 years, b) 6 years, c) 8 years, d) 10 years-12 years, e) 14-16 years. Knitting density: 10 cm. Satin stitch with 5.5 mm knitting needles. – 19 rub./14 p.
To work you will need:
- Wool or wool yarn - gray (100 g/160 m) - 3, 4, 4, 5, 7 skeins.
- Knitting needles 5.5 mm thick, 4.5 mm for elastic.
- The needle is thick.
- Knitting needles 4.5 mm. circular.
Back
Cast on 54-58-62-68-74 sts (see your required size) on 4.5 mm knitting needles and knit 2/2 rib - 16 rows. We switch to 5.5 mm knitting needles.
17th r. – knit stitches, decrease: 3-3-3-1-1 p. Remaining: 51-55-59-65-73 p. 18th r. – purl, 19th r. - persons, and so on.
Then, having knitted in centimeters: 21 (40 rubles), 23 (44 rubles), 25 (48 rubles), 29 (56 rubles), 32 (60 rubles), we begin to form the raglan itself, closing it next. r.: 1 time - 2 loops, and then in each. second row:
- Twice 1 p., *once 2 p., two times 1 p.*, repeat from* to* three times, then: twice 1 p.
- Once 1 p., *once 2 p., five times 1 p.*, repeat from* to* two times, then: twice 1 p.

Let's see - from the elastic we knitted in cm: 36 (68 rubles), 40 (76), 43 (82), 49 (94), 55 (104), and closed the loops that we still have: 15-17- 19-21-23 loops.
Before
The elastic band is knitted at the bottom using 4.5 mm knitting needles. 2/2 only 8 rubles, since the shelf will be shorter than the back! Switch to thicker knitting needles. Next, we repeat everything the same as on the back, only starting not from 17 p., but from 9: decrease in the same way, one to one!
Then, at a distance from the elastic: 32 cm (60 r.), 36 (68), 39 (74), 45 (84), 50 (94) we make a neck, closing it in the center: 5-5-7-7-9 p., then we finish on one side of the throat. in each second row:

Gathering and Collar
From the wrong side we sew both sleeves to the back and to the front, the long side of the sleeve goes to the back. We measure the girl's neck, the width of the collar will be: neck circumference plus 10-12 cm. The collar should lie freely. The collar height for each size is individual, approximately 30-40 rows.
We put the required number of loops on the knitting needles and knit with a 2/2 elastic band to the required height. We don't close the loops. Put the knitting needles with the collar aside. Then we sew the side seams. We take our almost finished product and sew the collar to the neck, loop to loop. Then we sew the side part of the collar with a needle and native thread.
Tips for knitting a sweater for girls
In order for the knitting process to be enjoyable and proceed without problems, you need to take a responsible approach to organizing your workplace and have more patience. Here are some useful tips to help you avoid trouble.
- Be sure to wind the yarn into a ball before you start knitting. This will protect you from unpleasant surprises that may be hidden inside the skein: torn thread, manufacturing defects.
- It is advisable to place the balls in a plastic container; a regular small bucket is quite suitable for this. Firstly, this way the thread will not catch debris from the floor (in a house where women live and have pets, there may be hair and fur on the floor. And secondly, it will help the yarn not to get tangled with each other if you use several skeins.
- Apply the piece to the pattern more often.
- Do not neglect wet-heat treatment.

The neck strip is knitted separately here. We cast on the knitting needles 3 mm. 86-90-96-100-100 p. We knit 6 rows with an elastic band 1/1, then we make one r. persons Do not close the loops, put them aside for now.
Assembly
Place the back over the front and sew along the shoulder seams. Sew on the sleeves of the pullover, paying attention to the markers. We make the side seams, but do not sew up the elastic at the bottom! Sew the seams of the sleeves. Sew on the neck strip, loop to loop. That's all.
Raglan on top
A girl's sweater can be knitted without seams at the top in the round with a raglan sleeve cut. To work on such a thing you need to use knitting needles on a fishing line.
The basic principle of this method of knitting is a seamless fabric, which is made from the neck in a circle and expands by increasing along raglan lines to the armpits, and then the work is divided into the main part and sleeves, which are completed separately.
The difficulty here can only be in calculating the number of loops and in the formation of the sprout. The calculation of the loops must be done as with any other method of work, having previously knitted the sample. Using it you need to calculate the number of loops per 1 cm and multiply by the circumference of the neck.
Then you should subtract from the total number of loops those intended for 4 raglan lines; there may be a different number of them, depending on the idea. After this, divide the remaining number of loops into 3 parts. Select 1 part for the front and back, and divide the third part in half for the sleeves.
This is the basic principle for calculating loops. It can be slightly modified depending on the model. For example, if you need a pullover with a V-shaped neck. Here, the loops on the front part are not taken into account, the cast-on is carried out without them, but the work involves an even increase on both sides of the neck.
An example of calculating the number of loops when knitting raglan from top to bottom
Until the neckline is knitted, knitting is done not in the round, but in straight and reverse rows. Once the neckline is formed, you can move on to circular knitting. For each model, the description usually indicates the calculation of the number of loops and the method of operation.
The decoration of such sweaters can be original raglan lines. In the simplest models, this is usually 1 or 2 loops on each line, along the edges of which in the 2nd row, increases are made. In other cases, it may be braids, plaits, or another pattern or ornament.
Then the total number of loops of the selected pattern is multiplied by 4, since there should be 4 raglan lines, and the sum of these loops is used to calculate them. Raglan lines are knitted unchanged from the neckline to the armhole. Increases are always made on both sides of each line, regardless of which pattern is chosen for them.
When the work has reached the armholes, loops of raglan lines are attached to the back and front. Then you need to remove the sleeve loops onto auxiliary knitting needles or thread and continue working on the main part. Between the back and front loops you can cast on 2-4 loops for undercuts.
To form a sprout, if necessary, after casting on loops and closing them in a circle for the neck, it is worth knitting several shortened rows in straight and reverse rows, gradually grabbing several unknitted loops from the previous row, depending on the calculation.
If the raglan model, which is knitted on top, is planned on buttons, then knitting in the round will not work here. You need to work in straight and reverse rows, but otherwise the principle and calculations described above are followed.
Sweater “Heavenly stripes” with raglan top
To create such a sweater you need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- Threads DROPS SKY from Garnstudio 100-150 g sky blue and 50-100 g white.
- The knitting needles are straight and on line number 4.
It should work like this:
- For heights 92 - 98/104 - 110/116 - 122/128 - 134/140 - 146/152 cm, cast on 84-88-92-96-100-104 stitches using blue thread on circular needles. Knit 4 rows with 1 by 1 rib.
- Select 1 loop for raglans, dividing all loops as described above.
- Work like this until the end of the raglan lines according to scheme A 1 and A2. In this case, you need to alternate threads of different shades every 8 rows.
- When the height of the fabric reaches 13-14-15-16-17-18 cm, divide the work into the back and front, transferring the sleeves to auxiliary threads.
- Finish the body and sleeves separately.
This sweater can be striped or plain, depending on your desire.
