hello everyone. in this video i’ll show you how to knit a sweater. the written instruction how to make this top is available at: interunet.com/how-to-knit-lace-sweater i’ll knit the sweater from the bottom to top. for the bottom ribbing cast on loosely one hundred twenty stitches, or any even number of stitches. for the first three rounds just knit all stitches to end. again, first three rounds – just knit all stitches to end.
fourth round. purl one, knit one to end. fifth round. purl one stitch, and slip one stitch. for that, slide this knit stitch from the left needle to the right one without knitting it. so, skip that stitch, purl one,
and then just alternate – slip one stitch, purl one stitch to end of the round. i knit fourteen rounds for the ribbing, and now i will increase ten stitches to have one hundred thirty stitches in total, or multiples of thirteen stitches. for that – knit twelve and yarn over. after you knit twelve stitches, do yarn over to increase one stitch, and then again
knit twelve. that way – knit twelve, yarn over continue to end of the fifteenth round. at the end of the fifteenth round work last yarn over. sixteenth round. the repeat for the sixteenth round will be – knit one, then yarn over, knit twelve. after you knit twelve,
do again yarn over, knit one, yarn over, and again knit twelve, yarn over. that way continue to end of the round. again, my repeat for the sixteenth round is – knit one, yarn over, knit twelve, yarn over. and for the seventeenth round just knit all stitches to end. the repeat for the eighteenth round will be – knit two, yarn over, knit twelve, yarn over, knit one.
so, knit two, yarn over, knit twelve. after the knit twelve again – yarn over, and knit one. then just repeat the process again – knit two, yarn over, knit twelve, and so on to end of the round. again, for the eighteenth round my repeat is – knit two, yarn over, knit twelve, yarn over, and knit one. for the nineteenth round knit all stitches to end. the repeat for round twenty will be –
knit three, yarn over, knit twelve, yarn over, knit two. knit three, after the knit twelve stitches, yarn over, and knit two. then just repeat the pattern, again – knit three, yarn over, knit twelve, and so on. for the twenty first round knit all stitches to end. the repeat for the twenty second round will be – knit four, then knit two stitches together six times, and then knit three.
knit four. then knit two stitches together. one, two, three, four, five, six, and knit three.
then continue knitting the repeat. knit four, knit two stitches together six times, knit three to end of the round. twenty third round. knit one stitch, but wrap the yarn around your right needle twice to make the loop longer. and that way continue to end of the round. again, knit second stitch, and again wrap twice.
knit the twenty fourth round as your sixteenth round, but before knitting the very first stitch, make the loop longer first, and then knit. then, yarn over, knit twelve, yarn over to end of the round. the repeat for the twenty fourth round is – then just repeat the pattern starting from the seventeenth round. so, knit all stitches to end.
then work twenty sixth round as eighteenth round, and so on. i repeated the pattern ten times – one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. and one repeat is eight rounds. i worked my last round as my twentieth round. now i will begin knitting rows instead of rounds to work my front and back parts. for each front and back part
work half of your stitches or five repeats – one, two, three, four, five. to work rows, it is necessary to increase three stitches. at the very end of my last round i will increase two stitches. yarn over, and knit one. then turn your work to the wrong side, and purl all stitches to end.
and again, i will use five repeats. i worked five repeats, and at this moment my repeat is nineteen stitches. and i increased two stitches from this side. now i will increase one stitch from this side to have multiples of nineteen stitches plus three additional stitches, or ninety eight stitches in total. then turn.
for the second row slip one stitch, then, knit four, and continue the pattern regular way – again, knit two stitches together six times, and so on. at the end of the second row, after last knit two stitches together six times, knit last five stitches, and turn. third row. slip one stitch, and then purl stitches, but wrap the right needle twice.
at the end of the third row, just purl last stitch regular way, and turn. fourth row. slip first stitch. then knit one, after the knit twelve yarn over, knit one, yarn over, knit twelve, and so on. at the end of the fourth row,
after last yarn over – knit one, knit very last stitch, turn, and then just purl all stitches to end. row six. slip first stitch, knit two. then yarn over, knit twelve, and so on. continue the pattern regular way. at the end of the sixth row work last yarn over, and knit three. then purl all stitches to end.
eighth row. slip one stitch, knit three, at the end of the eight row, after last yarn over, knit four. on a wrong side just purl all stitches, then repeat the pattern starting from the second row. after you repeat the pattern three times, knit two more rows to work your last row as your second row,
where you have knit two stitches together six times. for the twenty seventh row – purl all stitches to end regular way. again, for the twenty seventh row, just purl all stitches to end regular way. row twenty eight. knit one to end of the row. this is the end of your twenty eighth row.row twenty nine. slip the first stitch as usual,
and then slip second stitch also, but place your yarn in front of your work, and then slide this stitch from the left needle to the right one without knitting it. slip one stitch, yarn in front of your work, knit one, and so on to end of the row. at the end of your twenty ninth row slip one stitch, knit two,
now just alternate your twenty eighth and twenty ninth rows. so, again – purl one stitch, knit one stitch to end of the row, and so on. work rows for the back part, as you did for the front one. to work rows again increase three stitches – two stitches from the left side, and one stitch from the right side. from the left side – attach the yarn, and increase two stitches.
yarn over, and knit one. then turn your work, and purl all stitches to end, and then again increase one stitch, and continue working rows regular way. after you knit about twelve long rows of the pattern, use sixteen stitches, and work eight more short rows for the back shoulder piece. then cast off all the sixteen stitches.
for that – knit two stitches together. then place this stitch from the right needle back to the left one. then just repeat the process again – knit two stitches together, and then put this stitch back. continue to end of the row. now you may cut the yarn and secure it, and then attach it here, and cast off all the stitches to last fifteen stitches, or use a crochet hook, and work slip stitches down.
then place the stitch to the left needle, and continue casting off. then work second shoulder piece, as this one. knit the front shoulder piece, as you knit the back shoulder piece, but work six short rows instead of eight short rows. then cast off all the stitches, and join two shoulder pieces together. for that you may sew it up, or use a crochet hook.
knit each sleeve, as you worked the body. first, cast on loosely thirty stitches, or multiples of two stitches, using double pointed needles, and work the bottom ribbing. after that, increase nine stitches to have thirty nine stitches in total, after that, use circular needles, and work the fan stitch until you knit the desire length of the sleeve. finish knitting the sleeve
with the twenty first round. this is the widest round of the pattern. then join the sleeve into the garment totally the same as you join shoulder pieces together. start joining the sleeve from the underarm, and work that way to end. for the neck edge pickup stitches, and then cast them off, or use a crochet hook, and work single crochet.
ones you joined sleeves into the garment, and knit the neck edge, the sweater is ready, and thank you for watching.
