On the sides below the raglan we continue knitting according to the raglan pattern. Having reached the incision site, we separate the front and back parts on the sides and finish separately in order to make the incision. We knit the last 4 rows in garter stitch. We close the loops.

Things made from yarn have always been the best clothing option for the cold season, because they warm the body so well. Today they can also become a stylish element of the image. Let's take at least fashion models knitted women's sweaters.

This season they amaze with their volume and on girls they look as if they are knitted several sizes too large. But this is precisely where their special charm lies, because in this, albeit shapeless, image, the girls look stylish, harmonious, feminine and, most importantly, very seductive.

Advantages

The main advantage of a knitted sweater is that it suits absolutely all women, without exception, whether they are plump or thin, tall or petite, very young or already at an advanced age. And although you sometimes have to work hard to select the right model, if you get one hundred percent into the look, the sweater becomes a stylish and comfortable element of clothing that can be worn in the cool season, in the rainy season, and in completely frosty weather.

Another important advantage is originality. If a girl has handicraft skills, she can create for herself the kind of sweater she wants. By combining elements of various patterns and yarns of different textures, a young lady can show her extraordinary vision of style and definitely stand out from the crowd.

Combines knitted sweater with any elements of your winter wardrobe, be it trousers, jeans, skirts or simple high boots, so you can play with your own look as soon as you wish.

Beautiful models

Fashion designers never tire of surprising young ladies with their own vision of the beauty of knitted items and truly stylish ladies accept this vision. 2016 – 2017 is the era of oversize, so everything related to knitting simply must be voluminous, or slightly loose. So, feel free to take out old stretched sweaters from the closets and if they look decent and fit a little casually, this is the squeak of fashion.

If you don’t have any old sweaters in your wardrobe, we buy new ones, not forgetting to focus on the current fashion trends.

Large knit

Sweaters with voluminous textured patterns that are combined with each other to create an original effect are at the peak of popularity. They are often complemented by wide patch pockets, giving the product more volume.

Off-the-shoulder sweaters combined with a large pattern look casual but stylish. The armholes on such sweaters are usually slightly lowered and this is what is most appropriate in this case. This model is suitable only for thin people.

Coarse knit

Such sweaters are always knitted from thick yarn and look very original. Sometimes it feels like the patterns on them exist separately, they are so voluminous.

Coarse knit sweaters can be complemented with wide stand-up collars, narrow cuffs that stand out significantly against the background of flared sleeves, or collar necks. It’s interesting that the more intricate the pattern, the more unusual the sweater looks. It is suitable only for people who are too thin.

thick knit

Another type of voluminous sweater, which differs in that the patterns on it are always large and wide. Unlike the previous model, the patterns on a thick knit sweater may not be overly voluminous, but they always stand out against the general background of the sweater. Such sweaters are rarely loaded additional elements like buttons, but if they exist, they must be massive and voluminous.

Such sweaters are often worn naked, but there are also those that go perfectly with blouses. Some models of such blouses can be worn even by young ladies of average build.

Raglan

Raglan sweaters are in fashion now because they add a certain carelessness to the model and the overall image. The sleeve opening on such sweaters always falls off the shoulder, but in combination with the overall volume of the sweater it looks very good.

The image begins to be associated with relaxation and calm, which is why such sweaters are often chosen for everyday looka. The neckline on such sweaters can be round, V-shaped or completely closed. Such the model will fit for a girl of any size.

For overweight people

Overweight girls should not wear voluminous sweaters with textured patterns, but this does not mean that chubby girls cannot look fashionable this season. Loose-fitting sweaters with a small pattern are just perfect.

If the sweater is slightly flared from the chest, it will help hide a noticeable tummy, and elongated models to the middle of the thigh will hide the volume in the lower part of the silhouette. Women with full arms are better off avoiding models with bat sleeves, but models with sleeves flaring from the elbow can be a good option. Too voluminous breasts can be hidden behind a V-shaped neckline.

Free

It is also an “oversize” sweater - a real hit of the season and a godsend for lovers of comfort. This jacket does not restrict movement at all, and gives the image airiness and romance. It can be lengthened or shortened, but if it is not supplemented with an elastic band at the bottom, it may have an asymmetrical edge.

The original solution for such a model is a slightly tight sweater with excessively loose sleeves and vice versa. If you like the “oversize” style, please note that clothes should be at least 2-3 sizes larger than suitable.

With a zipper

Such sweaters are rarely too loose, because the fastener itself does not imply this. Often, such sweaters serve as additional insulation and are worn over turtlenecks and T-shirts in windy or cold weather.

Ideally matched with sporty style and are suitable for everyday wear. Quite often there are also very elongated models of knitted sweaters with a zipper, but without sleeves. Knitted sweaters on a snake with ¾ flared sleeves - the trend of this season.

With collar

Knitted sweaters with large and wide collars – transformable ones – are now considered incredibly fashionable. Such a collar can be completely turned away and used as a headdress, or it can be folded around the neck like a collar.

A rather interesting and popular solution could be to pull such a collar over the shoulders to expose them. Thus, the same sweater can look completely different, depending on how this collar is used. Often a snake is also sewn onto such collars, so that by unfastening it you can completely change its usual shape.

With a throat

The classic version of a warm knitted sweater is a turtleneck sweater. In this case, the neckline can be different - single or double, with or without a lapel, reaching the chin or only slightly covering the neck.

There are also models with a wide or very narrow collar. Such sweaters are always worn on a naked body. This particular model is ideal for an everyday look.

English rubber band

A sweater in which the front and back stitches are alternately knitted looks restrained and laconic. Nowadays it is fashionable to knit elongated sleeves in such models. A loose fit is welcome this season, so the “English elastic” can be easily adjusted to fit the oversized parameters.

Often, only the cuffs, trims and necklines on the sleeves are knitted with this kind of knitting, and the remaining parts of the sweater are complemented with more original patterns. It is worth considering that even such a knitting can be made very unusual and fashionable, you just need to take larger knitting needles and thick yarn.

With round yoke

Very unusual model, which has a round neck. Often unusual patterns are knitted around the collar area to draw maximum attention to this area. Sometimes the resulting pattern creates a pleated effect, making the sweater model very feminine. Such models can be knitted either from warm yarn or from lighter yarn and can be worn in the warm season. Such necklines look great if they are crocheted.

With bat sleeve

This sweater is now at the peak of popularity, because it fits perfectly into the oversized parameters. A jacket with wide sleeves will help hide excessive thinness of the arms, but overweight people should not choose such a model.

The sleeve in this case can be very long and flared or reach the elbow. There are also models with 3/4 sleeves, which are complemented by elastic cuffs. Often such sweaters are worn over light knee socks and mesh sweaters.

Patterns and drawings

This season, it's fashionable to decorate knitted sweaters with abstract and floral patterns. Geometric motifs and ethnic designs are also in trend, but only if they are bright and colorful. Lovers of sea motifs, your time has come, because sweaters with anchors, shells and stripes are at the peak of popularity. Cartoon images in the form of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck can now decorate not only children's sweaters, but also teenagers' sweaters. Those who prefer to knit a sweater themselves can adopt several mega popular patterns today.

With braids

The braid pattern can be called timeless, because it seems that it will never go out of fashion. Braids can be wide or narrow, intertwined with each other or other patterns, but are always a decoration knitted product. This season, it is fashionable to knit wide braids, so that they are textured and add additional volume to the sweater. The most popular patterns are the twelve-loop braid, the shadow braid, and the Lalo-style royal braid. Asymmetrical braid and spikelet pattern are also at the peak of popularity.

With diagonal braids

This pattern is often called an aran and consists of several braids intertwined together. Sometimes diagonal braids can become the central decoration of a sweater and stand out very much against the background of another, less textured pattern. A rather interesting solution is to knit several versions of a volumetric braid diagonally at once and gradually connect them together.

You can decorate only the sleeves of a sweater with diagonal braids, and knit the remaining parts with a simpler pattern, say, with an elastic band. But most advantageously, diagonal braids look on the front of the sweater, because such beauty should be noticeable.

With deer

A funny, but very stylish print has not gone out of fashion for several seasons in a row. Deer have literally taken over knitted items this season, so if you don’t already have a sweater with a deer, hurry up and buy it and join the fashionable society. Deer on sweaters can be cartoon or running, and can also be complemented by others winter drawings, like snowflakes or Christmas trees. Quite often, a voluminous pompom in the shape of a red nose is sewn onto a knitted portrait of a deer; it looks very cute and unexpected.

Leaf pattern

Knitting leaves on sweaters is now as fashionable as braids. They can have absolutely different shapes, both natural and completely outlandish. Quite often, the leaves are supplemented with braids, which ultimately act as branches from the tree trunk. On the same trees with leaves they can knit “cones” that are somewhat reminiscent of berries or fruits. Simply put, this pattern allows you to show your imagination to the maximum.

Current colors and prints

If last season animal print lost momentum a little, then this season it is gaining popularity again. So you can safely knit the outlines of pandas, wolves, lions, tigers, foxes and bears on knitted sweaters. The leopard color will take on a rather unusual look in a knitted version, but this particular look is extremely fashionable and emphasizes originality. Quite extraordinary individuals can safely choose sweater models with images of skulls - they are trendy nowadays. What about the color scheme?

Black

Timeless classics are always relevant and suitable for any occasion. A black sweater is good because it is completely non-staining, and this is an important characteristic for warm clothing. In addition, it does not make your figure look fat at all, so even a rather voluminous model in this color will not make your figure shapeless. And this color goes well with absolutely all elements of your wardrobe, so you don’t have to worry about style for a long time. And if you want to dilute the dark palette, you can always choose such a model, but with a contrasting print, say, white.

Blue

A sweater in the color of purity and nobility will definitely brighten up gray winter days. The good thing about blue color is that it has a rich palette of shades and all of them can be used to create your favorite sweater. The color of aqua or azure is pleasing to the eye and has a calming effect, while heavenly and light cornflower blue will remind you of warm summer days. You can also opt for a darker color scheme - denim, azure blue and cobalt colors are also in trend.

Two-color

The combination of black and white is unlikely to surprise anyone, but it is the one that is classic. There are now and completely unusual options combinations - pink and gray, blue and yellow, purple and orange, lilac and cornflower blue, light green and gray. The most popular model now is a sweater - halves, when one part is knitted in one color, and the second in another. It’s interesting that the color transition can be either horizontal or vertical.

Grey

Gray shade does not always mean plain and fashionable knitted sweaters this season fully confirm this. A jacket in steel and silver shades will definitely make you stand out from the crowd if you complement it with a green scarf and burgundy trousers. It is better to combine a mother-of-pearl sweater with black wardrobe elements, and a pewter sweater with pink ones. A gray sweater will look great with regular jeans, as well as other types of blue clothing.

Striped

One of the most versatile prints is stripes. It can make an image romantic and cheerful if it combines bright and colorful colors, or fill it with efficiency and restraint if it is created in discreet colors. This season, white-blue, pink-gray, blue-green and sand-white stripes have gained the most popularity.

Burgundy

Red color is incredibly popular now, and its dark brother in the form of a burgundy shade is best solution for this winter. A burgundy knit sweater pairs well with other trendy colors including white, grey, black, blue and pink. The most fashionable combination this winter - burgundy and sand.

White

Not the best best option For winter period, but if you want to add solemnity and romance to your look, a white knitted sweater is just what you need. Despite its soiling, a white sweater has one valuable advantage - it goes well with all elements of clothing. This season, sweaters of this color are chosen when they have a fluffy texture. It is the fluffiness that gives the image lightness, and in combination with the white color it evokes an association with snow.

A knitted sweater has such a strong and confident place in the modern wardrobe that it is even difficult to imagine that it was once clothing exclusively for fishermen. Sweaters were woven from warm yarn and were intended to protect fishermen from the piercing wind and cold. Since those distant times, the sweater has changed a lot in appearance, and its model range has expanded significantly. One of the trends of the new season is a shortened knitted sweater model.

Peculiarities

A cropped knitted sweater can very loosely be classified as a “crop top,” that is, cropped clothing that reveals the belly.

Such clothes look especially impressive on girls with a toned figure, thin waist and flat stomach. This mainly applies to models made of fine yarn intended for the warm season.

A cropped sweater is used alone or in combination with other clothes that are best fitted, otherwise the outfit will look too bulky and, to some extent, sloppy.

Who shouldn't wear a short sweater?

The shortened model looks great on girls with a chiseled figure. Such sweaters “cut” the figure horizontally, revealing the stomach and waist, so girls with overweight such a style will not look very harmonious.

However, ladies with curvy figures can also find a model that suits them. It’s just that the sweater will not be worn on a naked body, but combined with other clothes.

Layering remains in fashion, so a stylish set of a tunic or long blouse, a short sweater and tight-fitting trousers, tights or leggings will look very stylish and harmonious on women of any size!

Models

The range of cropped sweaters includes several basic styles:

  • Classical. Regular turtleneck sweater with long sleeves.
  • Wide sweater. A voluminous model, which from the outside looks somewhat stretched and inappropriate for the size of the owner.
  • Model asymmetrical cut. As a rule, this is a sweater that is long in the back and short in the front.

Sweaters can have different sleeve lengths; shortened versions, for example, ¾, are especially popular. The sweater can have a straight or slightly fitted cut. The hem can be loose or gathered with an elastic band or cuff. The shape of the collar can also be different - from a high pipe to a boat-shaped neckline, a round or V-shaped neck.

Color and print

A cropped sweater is very bright accent in any image, regardless of whether it is worn as an independent element or in combination with other clothes. Therefore, the color of the model itself does not have to be bright and flashy.

Classic and pastel colors: black, white, light gray, blue, sand, grassy, ​​cream, soft pink. Deeper, more saturated shades also look good - plum, brick, golden brown.

When it comes to prints, floral motifs never go out of style. These can be bright, small flowers scattered throughout the sweater, or large buds made in blurry pastel colors.

Another popular print is animal motifs. As a rule, these are small animal silhouettes decorating a sweater.

Connoisseurs of the classics can opt for traditional geometry - polka dots, diamonds, squares, stripes.

How and with what to wear?

The most popular images are combined based on the principle of layering. This means that a short sweater can be worn not only as an independent item, but also in combination with shirts, turtlenecks, blouses, T-shirts and other clothes. Clothes combination different lengths and colors allows you to visually correct figure flaws, so women of all body types can afford such sets without fear that they will not look stylish and fashionable enough.

In addition, layering is one of the youth fashion trends. Therefore, a short knitted sweater can be combined with almost any base - top, T-shirt, T-shirt, bodysuit, dress, sundress, etc.

Another important rule when choosing a suitable clothing ensemble for a shortened model is color compatibility. Things can be selected in the same color scheme or, on the contrary, be contrasting in color.

Another interesting option combinations: T-shirt + skinny + sweater. All items should be selected in different shades of pastel colors, for example, light blue, cream and light beige. This outfit will look very gentle and feminine.

If the sweater is worn on a naked body, but you don’t really want to expose your stomach and waist, then an excellent way out of the situation would be to use high-waisted trousers or a skirt. This set looks very fashionable and impressive. The sweater can be tucked into trousers and accentuate the waist with a leather strap or a wide, beautiful belt.

Knitted sweaters owe their appearance to ancient Greek fishermen. Clothes woven from yarn were practical and warm, and provided good protection from dampness and cold. After many hundreds of years, the sweater entered into women's wardrobe and settled firmly in it. Modern stylists identify separate fashion trends for knitwear dedicated to a variety of styles. One of current trends season - women's cropped sweater. The original style brings true pleasure to its owners, providing the opportunity to look attractive and relaxed.

What is another name for a short sweater? A fashion item does not have a specific name. Conventionally, it can be classified as a crop top item, adjusted for seasonality.

The length of the fashionable product suggests a barely covered belly. And a sweater with a short front completely exposes it. Such clothes look very non-trivial and impressive. But this is only the case when the girl has ideal body proportions and it’s warm outside. But a knitted sweater should fulfill its main function - to warm the body. How to wear short clothes in cold and rainy weather?

If a woman prefers a sweater as an independent garment, then its short length is compensated by a high-waisted skirt or trousers. In this case, the body will be completely covered, which will provide comfort and warmth. Loose bases should be avoided, which can make the suit look shapeless and even sloppy. It is better to give preference to tight-fitting things.

What to wear with a cropped sweater?

The desire to diversify your wardrobe will help you create ensembles that can be worn for any occasion. The first option for a successful outfit is a multi-layer suit. In this case, shortened items are worn over long clothes. For example, to direct gray trousers for everyday use add a long white alcoholic T-shirt and a bright long sleeve (thin T-shirt with long sleeve). The logical conclusion of the look will be a loose gray sweater with an elastic band at the bottom.

Multilayer kits are distinguished by their universal purpose. They can be successfully worn by women of any age category. The combination of things of different lengths successfully hides possible figure flaws.

Another option for successfully combining a sweater with other wardrobe elements is based on the principle of youth style. This means that a short sweater can be worn over any basic base: tight golf, a T-shirt, a top, a dress.

In such a set, an important role is given to color harmonies. Clothes can be contrasting or matching shades. For example, a white badlon (turtleneck with a short collar) is taken as a basis. A blue cropped sweater with a blue denim skirt will go perfectly with it. You can also combine two pastel colors at the top - a pale blue T-shirt and a cream sweater. A gentle pair will be well complemented by tight skinny trousers in beige or milk chocolate.

A cropped chunky knit sweater goes well with a fluffy short skirt. A prerequisite must be the presence of a tight-fitting base. Women with non-ideal shapes can complement the ensemble with a wide belt that perfectly highlights the waist. They look especially good leather belts with large buckles.
