Knitting a sleeveless vest is easy!

An item in the wardrobe of a child aged one year and older

Every mother knows that a sleeveless vest is an essential element of every child’s wardrobe. It will come in handy on cool summer evenings and cold winters, and in the off-season you simply cannot do without it. After all, sometimes you don’t know how to dress your baby so that it is not hot or cold, and most importantly, comfortable. In addition, you can’t have too many sleeveless vests; you can find the necessary patterns for every season on our website.

See below for an excellent pattern for beginners on knitting vests for children:

Also, knitted sleeveless vests are perfect for schoolchildren’s wardrobes. The assortment in stores is not particularly pleasing with the variety of models school uniform, especially for boys. With the help of a vest, you can not only provide your child with warm clothes, but also emphasize his individuality and distinguish him from the gray mass of clothes of the same type. On our website you will always find many original models of vests knitted using knitting needles. Our collections are constantly updated, don't miss out on new items.

Before starting knitting, especially beginner knitters, you need to familiarize yourself with some nuances. We suggest starting your creativity by creating a children's sleeveless vest with knitting needles.

It consists of only two fabrics, which are then sewn together, and for beginner knitters it will be easy.

And after you have a vest, you can move on to knitting more complex things.

1. To knit a vest for children, we will need two sets of knitting needles of different thicknesses, for example No. 4 and No. 6. Thinner knitting needles need to be used to knit elastic, and thicker knitting needles will be used to knit the main fabric of the product. Next, you need to take measurements from the person for whom the sleeveless vest will be knitted. Based on the desired length of the item, we take measurements of the circumference of the hips, waist or chest. We divide the result in half and get the width of our product. For example, our hip volume is 60, which means the width of the canvas should be 30 centimeters. Based on this indicator and the thickness of the knitting needles, we determine the number of loops that need to be cast on the knitting needles to knit one front of a sleeveless vest.

2. Next we knit a sample of elastic. To do this, just knit a piece of 10 by 10 centimeters. We measure the width of the resulting sample. For example, there are 3 loops in one centimeter. We multiply the required width of the canvas (ours is 30 centimeters) by three. We get 90 loops that we need to cast on. We add 2 edge loops to them, for a total of 92 loops.

3. We cast on the loops on 2 knitting needles folded together. Then we take out one of them and start knitting an elastic band. To do this, alternately knit 2 knit and 2 purl loops, about 10 centimeters high. In the last row you need to switch to thicker knitting needles.

4. It is necessary to knit the front from the desired length of the product. It is recognized by simply measuring the person for whom you are knitting a sleeveless vest. You also need to measure the length from the hip to the armhole and from the armhole to the shoulder. Based on these dimensions, the first shelf, usually the back one, is knitted. For the armhole, we begin to close the loops evenly on each side of the shelf, 1-2 loops in each row, in the amount of 6-7 loops. Next, we knit the product according to the measurements up to the shoulder. We close the row and the first shelf is ready.

5. The front part of the sleeveless vest for children is knitted in the same way. The only difficulty is that you need to make a neck in it. Its shape and depth must be decided in advance. For a beginner knitter, the easiest way to do this is v-neck. Having measured the length from the hips to the beginning of the neck in advance, we carefully monitor so as not to miss the right place.

6. Having reached it, we divide the knitting into two halves, marking it with a pin. We knit one half, gradually closing one loop in each front row. Having tied it to the shoulder, close the last row. We put the loop remaining on the pin on a knitting needle, tie a thread from a skein to it and knit it in the same way as the right half. Our product is almost ready.

7. Next, it is recommended to wash and steam the two halves, then carefully sew them together. To finish the product, you need to process the armhole and neckline. To do this, you need to tie 4-5 centimeters of elastic, having previously measured the width and sew it into place.

This was the easiest option for knitting a sleeveless vest for just beginning needlewomen. Subsequently, you will be able to diversify your work with interesting patterns, complex cuts and your own original styles. They will delight you and all your loved ones.

Here is another pattern for knitting a children's vest from a year and older:

Knitting is a skill that every woman can master. This is an amazing handicraft in which you will show your imagination and make unique things.

Women enjoy knitting things for themselves, for their relatives and, of course, for their children. You always want to see them neat, smart and different from other children.

In addition to beauty, you also need to take care of the warmth and comfort of the products..

The smallest children need warm and comfortable clothes. You can independently dress children aged 1 year in beautiful wardrobe items.

At this time, frequent walks are taken fresh air, and a warm sleeveless vest will be very useful. Currently, knitted products are very popular; sleeveless vests knitted with knitting needles are considered especially fashionable.

Mothers have many questions about raising children, including.

Knitting front

At the beginning, the knitting process is absolutely similar to the previous stage. Also cast on 69 stitches and knit an elastic band the same length as the back.

We begin to decrease the loops. We calculate the middle one on the front part and leave it, do not knit it. After this, to the right and left of it, gradually decrease 1 loop (in each row) - for 12 rows. The work can be considered completed at a height of 34-39 centimeters.

Collecting details

Take both parts of the future product and make one seam on the shoulder.

Now we make an edging at the future neck: lift the outer loops onto the knitting needles, those located at the edge of the neckline (don’t forget to grab the unknitted one in the middle) and then knit several rows with the selected elastic band (2*2 or 1*1).

Please note - in each row you must knit two loops together from the missing middle loop of the front part.

Are you done? You can sew the remaining shoulder seam and sew the edging at the neckline.

Now all that remains is to finish the armholes. At the edge of each armhole, take all the loops on the knitting needles and knit them with a similar elastic band (which was used when knitting the back and front). That's it, you can close the loops.

The final stage of work is connecting the remaining edges of the vest with threads that match the color of the yarn.

We hope everything worked out for you! We are very happy to be of service.
