In general, cats not really love clothes and try to take off it more often than dogs. But, if it is cold at your place or you walk with the favourite on the street from time to time, try to make to a cat a warm vest or a jacket. To knit a jacket to a cat, you will need needles, threads and it is a little patience.
It is required to you
- - needles of the suitable size;
- - soft natural threads;
- - elastic band;
- - needle with a thread.
Instruction
1. Before works check knitting density if it makes 20 rows x 16 loops of =10х10 cm, then use the sizes provided below. If density differs, in proportion change the recommended sizes.
2. Begin work with performance before a sweater for a cat. Gather on needles of 25 loops and knit an elastic band several centimeters. To receive "elastic band", that is elastic knitting, knit 1 front, then 1 back loop, repeating the sequence.
3. Having knit an elastic band several centimeters (it is jacket "bottom" which will cover a cat's waist), knit the main cloth about 10 cm a front smooth surface.
4. To receive sleeves, from each edge of knitting add on several centimeters (15-20 loops), the more increase, the more length of a sleeve. In total at you about 60 loops will turn out on needles. An equal cloth knit 10 cm.
5. In the center of knitting make a cut for a mouth. Carefully count quantity of loops on needles and find the middle, note it a color thread. From it in both parties count equal quantity of loops, for example, on 10 loops.
6. Close the allocated loops and continue to knit a row. Having turned, to a dovyazhita to the closed loops also gain air loops exactly that quantity which was closed plus 7-8 loops (that the back turned out wider). Finish a row and knit further a front cloth.
7. Having knit 10 cm, close 18 loops from each party and knit 10 more cm. If you have a large animal, it is possible to increase width of this part a little symmetrically. Then pass to knitting of an elastic band and knit an elastic band of the same width, as at the beginning. Close loops so that to keep elasticity of a cloth.
8. Sew seams of sleeves and side seams. On a mouth gather loops and lift a collar, knit the same elastic band, as well as on a product bottom, then close loops. In a row bindings it is better to involve a lace or a weak elastic band to provide density of an adherence of a collar.
