I promised to tell how to make the most popular cocoon cardigan? So, listen. Everything is incredibly easy. You just need to tie a rectangle. There are no grades, additives, storms, Gorlowin and everything else. Rectangle and all.
Tools that need to knitting
For spring-autumn models, thick needles are required or a hook with a diameter of 5-8 mm. Why exactly thick? Because most cocoons are connected from the yarn of a small prace. Large knitting universal. It creates a feeling of comfort, comfort, heat and perfectly fits into the casual image, the style of Casual. A slim knitwear comes not to each + can create an effect of slurry due to the structure of the structure.
As I said, it is better to take a small time straight - 100-200 m per 100g. At the same time, it is necessary to knit freely so that in the end the Cardigan crossed, and not sticking to the cooke.
If you decide to tie a summer cocoon, you can use all the same thick yarn, but knit even more loose (so the canvas will be air). Cotton is suitable, silk, and on a cool summer, for example, a mixture of cotton with merino wool.
There are openwork cocoons from fine yarn, but for me it is rather a bolero than a full-fledged cardigan, although this method of manufacture can be applied to them.
Patterns and drawings
Any embossed is suitable as the main pattern. For the spoke, it can be "rice", "pearl", any kind of rubber bands, harnesses. If you plan to knit a crochet cardigan, experiment with the most universal patterns from columns and air loops.
It is also possible to alternate patterns, but, in my opinion, it greatly complicates the issue of configuration. Still, the versatile pattern, topics with a large number of things will be combined with a cocoon cardigan.
By the way, I plan to link something similar. Excellent solution for walking in the fresh air.
How to knit
Probably, this is the easiest instruction that you can imagine: Tie a rectangle (Approximate sizes I pointed out in the first figure of scheme 1). And then fold the angles together, as shown in the second figure of the scheme 1 and sew the contacting katets of triangles among themselves, retreating about 10 cm. It will be holes for hands (marked by ovals). Everything.
I hope I managed to portray all the work.
If you wish, you can connect cuff and collar with ordinary rubber band. So the thing will have an even more finished look. And you can leave everything as it is.
Are you used to knit according to the description? Do you think, still early go to free swimming? Nothing wrong. Here are two of my detailed translations that will allow you to associate such things. One option for the spokes, the other for the hook. Press links and knit on health!
Thank you for reading to the end!
