If you aren't an experienced knitter, you can still make handmade clothes with these women patterns.
With beautiful luxury knitting yarns or a combination of yarns, you can create a great effect.
No matter how warm the summer, there are times when a sweater is essential.
Think about air-conditioned restaurants and theaters, and even sea breezes. A cardigan sweater tied around the neck or waist, or draped over the shoulders, can look fashionable and be ready to don should the temperature drop.
Handmade, luscious Fair Isle, argyle, Irish knit, entrelac -- the fanciest knitting techniques, beautifully executed, appear around every corner, on almost every shoulder.

Try also my free knitting stitches or cable patterns and free
women lace patterns, or women patterns with cables for real knitting challenges
and a lot of knitting patterns in text with a different gauge than this page.

You can knit anything you want, with my basic patterns.

You can use any knitting stitch and knit with any knitting yarn you like, if it has a similar gauge.

Needle size is not so important, every knitter knits differently. When you are looking at a pattern,
it is the gauge or tension swatch that really matters. This is the base for all my basic knitting patterns.

How ? First knit your knitting swatch, if you want to knit in a fantasy knitting stitch, knit your swatch in this stitch,
then determine your gauge, now you can choose a knitting pattern with the right gauge,
this way it will always fit, no need for special yarns or needles, so simple.

Remember; the amount of stitches are more important than rows,
because the required length of the garment, are in centimeters too.
Tip; combine knitting with crochet or embroidery.

These women knitting patterns are based on standard woman sizes.
Take a look at the clothes size conversion chart, at the bottom. Then; keep in mind; You don't have a standard size. !

ABC heck when you are knitting the length from wrist to armhole and from hem to armhole too.
When it is too short, keep knitting until desired length.
When it is too long; You have to decrease and increase, more rapidly, then usual.
And stop knitting at the desired length.

Sweater with cables
knitted by Trudi

Knitted by Betty
with Phildar hand knitting yarn

You can’t cast off more than 1 stitch, at the end of the row,
so if the pattern says; Dec 2 st at each end of every alternate row, it means;
Cast off 2 stitches, knit to end of row ( or round ), turn and cast off 2 stitches, knit to end of row.

SET-IN SHOULDERS:
The default instructions for Sweaters are to cast off set-in shoulders in sections over a number of rows
(e.g. cast off 9 sts at the beginning of the next 6 rows). However, many knitters find that short-rowing provides a
smoother slope on the shoulders. When the short-rowing is completed, the stitches can be either cast off
or placed on holders or waste yarn. Cast off stitches would be sewn together following the standard instructions.
Live stitches are more likely to be grafted together for a flatter shoulder seam.

he choice of yarn affects the comfort of the sweater, since it affects its warmth, weight and ability
to "breathe" (air exchange). Some yarns will also produce itching or even allergic reactions in some wearers.
The yarn affects the bulk and drape of the knitted fabric, as well as the visibility of stitches.
Complicated stitch patterns are best seen with a smooth, highly spun yarn and may be invisible
with "furry" yarns such as mohair or novelty yarns.

Cable patterns tend to "pull in," giving more stitches per width than stockinette, garter, or seed stitch.
Cables are usually made on a background of reverse stockinette stitch. You will need a cable needle.
You can use stitch markers to set off the stitches to be cabled. Go to my cable stitches page for patterns.
