Calculation of yarn by knitting needle number and thread thickness
To determine the amount of yarn per product, an approximate sample is knitted using the materials and tools that will be used to create the entire model.
Its approximate size with rapport should be 20-30 loops for 10-12 rows. The resulting sample is measured with a ruler or measuring tape and the number of loops in its 1 square is determined. cm. The width of the example will correspond to the number of loops in 1 cm of any of its rows. By measuring the length of the vertical edge of the probe, determine the number of rows in 1 cm.
Next, the number of rows or loops is divided by the length of the side of the example in cm. Then the sample is unraveled and the length of the thread is measured. The resulting number is divided by the number of square meters. see example. The result will be the exact length of the thread for the execution of 1 sq. see products. After this, the area of the entire thing is calculated and multiplied by the result obtained in the previous action.
The sample is ironed through the fabric immediately before all measurements. If the pattern is loose or lacy, do not iron the example. The sampler, tied with an elastic band, will have to be stretched a little.
Yarn calculations can also be made by decoding information from the tags on the threads. One number always acts as the thickness, and the other – as the number of threads in the skein. The correct length of yarn is found by dividing the 1st number by the 2nd.

Description of knitting
Back Using green thread, cast on 128 (136, 144) loops and for the bottom bar knit 15 cm = 35 rows with an elastic band, performing stripes in the indicated sequence, starting from the purl row and wide from the edge, 2 purl, 2 knit and finish symmetrically. In the last row, increase, evenly distributing, 1 (2, 3) loops = 129 (138, 147) loops.
Next, knit with green thread in a pattern of “braids” and distribute the loops as follows: edge, 8 loops from arrow a to the left double arrow, repeat repeat 13 (14, 15) times = 9 loops, 2 loops from the left double arrow to arrow b , edge
After 53 (55, 57) cm = 128 (132, 136) rows from the bottom bar, bind off the middle 47 (46, 47) loops for the neck and finish the left side first. To round the neckline, close from the inner edge in each 2nd row 2 times with 3 loops, 3 times with 2 loops and 3 times with 1 loop. At the same time, close from the outer edge for the shoulder bevel after 57 (59, 61) cm = 138 (142, 146) rows from the bottom bar 1 time 6 (7, 7) loops, then in each 2nd row another 4 times 5 ( 6, 7) loops. Finish the other side symmetrically.
Front part Knit like the back, but for a V-neck, close the middle loop (divide the work in the middle - close the middle loop) after 12 (14, 16) cm = 28 (34, 38) rows from the bottom bar and finish the left side first for 64 (69, 73) loops. For a bevel, decoratively decrease from the inner edge in every 3rd row 32 times, then in every 2nd row 6 times 1 loop = 26 (31, 35) loops. At the same time, make a shoulder bevel from the outer edge, as on the back. Finish the other side symmetrically.
Assembly Sew shoulder seams. Using green thread on circular knitting needles, cast on loops starting from the middle of the back neckline: 40 loops along the back neckline from the mid-back line to the shoulder, 100 loops along the left bevel of the V-neck, 100 loops along the right bevel of the V-neck and 40 loops along the neckline back from shoulder to mid-back line = 280 loops.
Attach markers to the 1st and last loops on the neckline bevels (for 100 loops) and to the 1st and last loops of the back neckline (for 80 loops), as a result, 2 loops are marked with markers on the sharp angled tip of the neckline and 2 loops each on the shoulder line . Knit strips with an elastic band in the indicated sequence, and distribute the loops so that 2 adjacent loops with a marker are knit.
To give the binding a shape, knit on the front pointed tip 7 times in every 2nd round row and then 11 times in every round row, knit the 1st stitch with a marker with the previous stitch together and knit the 2nd stitch with a marker with the next stitch together. tilt to the left. At the same time, on both sides of the shoulders, knit 8 times in each 3rd circular row, the 1st loop with a marker with the previous loop together with the front one and the 2nd loop with the marker with the next loop together with the front one with a slant to the left = 212 loops.
After 10.5 cm = 25 circular rows of elastic, bind off all the loops according to the pattern. Sew the side seams, leaving the top 27 cm on each side open for the armholes.

Step-by-step instructions for beginners on knitting a women's vest
A women's vest, knitted with knitting needles, refreshes the look. Sleeveless vests help out in cool and windy weather. Various models can be combined with other things, and also decorated, for example, with fur or lace.
Knitting pattern
For a pattern with taking measurements, measure:
- back width;
- model length (DI);
- neck circumference (OS);
- chest girth (OG).
Draw a rectangle on paper with a height equal to DI and a length equal to OG. A vertical line is drawn in the center of the figure. To calculate the depth of the armhole, subtract the width of the back from the half-circumference of the chest, and divide the resulting total by 2. The height of the armhole is calculated using the formula: OG/6+5. The resulting measurements are transferred to the drawing, connecting the armhole cutouts with rounded lines.
Next, line up the neck, dividing the OR by 3. In the middle of the rectangle, measure half of the result obtained on both sides of the vertical. The neckline is raised 2 cm and connected to the shoulder, and its neckline to the top of the rectangle using a rounded line. When performing all the above manipulations, a pattern for the back of the vest is obtained.
The patterns for the front shelves are made similarly to the shape of the back, but without drawing the neckline, since it is calculated for these parts using a different formula: ОШ/6+2. The resulting number of cm is laid down from the level of the neckline and roundly connected to the center of the pattern.
Knitting back
Creating a women's vest with knitting needles begins with knitting the back.
Step by step:
- From the cast-on loops, knit a pattern with an elastic band (2 knits, 2 purls) 4 cm.
- Further work is done using stockinette stitch or the required pattern according to the pattern.
- Having reached the level of the armholes, they begin to perform them, cutting the loops on both sides in every 2nd row. The remaining length is knitted straight.
Right shelf
Description of work on the right shelf of the vest:
- The loops cast on the knitting needles are knitted with an elastic band of 1/1 5 cm.
- Up to a height of 30.5 cm, follow the pattern according to the following pattern: knit stitch – 15 stitches, rapport – 25 stitches, 17 knit stitches.
- Having reached the given height, close 6 stitches for the armhole on the left, then 8 times, 1 stitch in every 2nd row. and 1 time 1 p. in every 4th r. Further work continues on the drawing, as before.
- Having reached a height of 53 cm from the bottom, 8 stitches are closed for the shoulder in every 2nd r. 3 times.
Left shelf
The left front is knitted in a mirror image to the right.
The diagram is above.
Assembly
All finished parts of the vest are placed right sides together and begin to connect the side and shoulder seams of the product using a hook or a needle and thread. This work is done only from the wrong side, and not from the front.
Neck strap
Having assembled the vest, the neck and armhole are crocheted or knitted.
Beginners can do this using the 1/1 elastic pattern:
- From the top of the neck, from the row located immediately below the edge, loops are pulled along the entire part.
- From these loops and threads from a skein, a 2-3 cm elastic band is knitted. Then the loops are closed and the thread is hidden on the wrong side.
- The armholes are knitted in the same way as the neckline.
Assembling a vest, how to sew vest fronts?
Before you begin assembling the product, you need to steam all the parts through gauze, carefully, without pulling them out. Then, one by one, attach each shelf to the back with the right sides, aligning the armholes, shoulders, and side seams. Assembly seams are made only on the wrong side of the product. There are two ways to connect the parts together: 1. Using a hook. To do this, we make a loop on the thread, insert a hook into it, and then in small steps we knit the edge loops of the parts together. 2. Using thread and needle. We move along the fabric and sew the edges of the product, inserting the needle perpendicular to it.
How to tie and attach a hood
The protective and decorative element of a women's vest, the hood, is knitted as follows.
Step by step:
- First, determine the number of loops required to complete the part. This is done by counting the loops from the neck of the front shelves and back.
- Then the loops are put on the knitting needles, not forgetting about the additional ones for the strap, and a rectangle with the required pattern is knitted.
- To measure the length of a rectangle, calculate the distance from the cervical vertebrae at shoulder level to the top of the head. Another 5 cm is added to the result.
- Having knitted to a certain length, the loops are closed and the edges are sewn.
- The finished hood is sewn or knitted to the vest.
