This high-necked model is a cross between a turtleneck and a sweater. It is sewn of thin warm knitwear, and a suitable sweater is used to build the pattern.
For such a sweater in the fall, it’s good to take a thin, but warm knit, for example, wool or with the addition of wool. It is simple to build a pattern: a sweater or a jumper made of similar material will fit you well (do not take a too thick knitted jumper: thick knitwear sits differently). Sewing such a sweater is also easy. If there is no overlock, you can also sew it on a sewing machine (for different ways of sewing knitwear on a machine, read here).
How to sew a t-shirt without a pattern: master class
You will need:
- knitwear;
- sewing machine or overlock and thread;
- paper, pencil and ruler to build patterns;
- scissors - dressmakers and for paper;
- a suitable sweater for a pattern.
Step 1
Fold the sweater in half, lay it on paper and circle it.
Step 2
From the armhole down, measure about 20 cm - this will be the waistline. Next, extend the sweater to the length you want (here - 50 cm). From the waistline, set aside the distance to the hips (19–21 cm) and mark.
Step 3
Measure the circumference of your hips.Divide this value by 4 and postpone this distance to the right of the middle of the pattern along the hips. Add 3-5 cm to the freedom of fitting.
How to sew a pullover from knitwear without a pattern
Step 4
Draw a line from the armhole to the low point.
Step 5
Put the folded sweater back on the paper. Flatten the sleeve. Measure 5 cm down the seam of the sleeve. Mark a right angle across the sleeve and set a point.
Step 6
Draw a straight line from the shoulder line at the top, a straight line connecting the armhole and the point at the seam of the sleeve from the bottom, and round the corner from the bottom.
Step 7
Put the sweater back on the pattern and measure with a centimeter how many lengths of the sleeve are missing from the constructed pattern. In this case, 40 cm.
Step 8
Build a sleeve: draw a rectangle 40 cm long (the value from Step 7) and a width equal to the width of the constructed part of the sleeve (see Step 6). To narrow the sleeve a little, on one of the narrow sides of the rectangle we measure from the edge 3-4 cm and draw a new line.
Step 9
Cut out patterns from paper and cut out details from knitwear: in front, back and 2 details of a sleeve.
Step 10
Fold the front and back parts face inwards and sew the shoulder seams.
Step 11
Now you need to sew on the sleeves. Expand the detail of the sleeve and the stitched front and back, fold the front sides inward and sew. Repeat with the second sleeve.
Step 12
Turn the sweater inside out, evenly fold and sew the side seams, stitching the sleeves immediately.
Step 13
Measure the neck with a centimeter. Multiply the resulting value by 2 and subtract 3-5 cm, depending on how well your jersey stretches and how wide you want to make the collar.If you want a more voluminous gate, 3-5 cm can not be subtracted.
Step 14
From the jersey folded in half, cut the neck of the desired length.
Step 15
Fold the rectangle for the gate across, face inward, as shown in the photo, and sew the short sides.
Step 16
Turn out the collar, fold it in half along the inside inside and pin it to the neck with pins. If necessary, stretch the part of the gate slightly.
Step 17
Sew the collar to the neck. We sew, pulling a little knitwear.
Step 18
It remains to process the bottom of the sweater and sleeve. If you are sewing on an overlock, work on the edge, fold it 1 time and sew on the collar. If you are sewing on a machine, double up the hem and sew it on.
