Introduction:
Knitting, an ancient craft that has stood the test of time, is a versatile art form. It enables us to create not only clothing items but also accessories and home decor. In this article, we delve into the world of knitting, focusing on creating a unique piece of clothing - a black tie collar jacket. This stylish piece can be worn to formal events or as a fashion statement in daily life. In this guide, we will explore the step-by-step process of knitting this exquisite garment, from selecting the right materials to completing the final stitches.
Materials:
To create a black tie collar jacket, you will need the following materials:
Yarn (preferably a medium-weight yarn with a texture similar to wool)
Size U/S 10-12 knitting needles
Tapestry needle
Stitch marker
Scissors
Gauge:
For a size S/M, use the following gauge:
16 stitches per inch (rows)
4 inches in height for the neck opening and 3 inches for the sleeves.
Instructions:
The first step in knitting a black tie collar jacket is to cast on the necessary stitches. Follow these steps to do so:
Begin by dividing your yarn into eight equal segments. Place one segment onto each of your needles. Hold the needles with the yarn between them, making sure the loops are facing inward.
Wrap the needle around the other loop on the same needle, then pull both loops towards the center of the work surface. This will create a slipknot on one of the needles. Repeat this step until you have eight slipknots on each needle, evenly distributing the segments.
Hold both ends of the working yarn together and draw it through all the slipknots on each needle, so they are all connected. You should have eight stitches on each needle.
Knit five stitches. Purl five stitches. This is your first row; it will become your second row. Repeat these steps until you reach the desired length for your neck opening (usually about 4 inches).
Now that you have created the foundation of your jacket, move on to the body of the garment. Follow these steps to knit the body:
Cast on additional stitches to make a total of 64 stitches. Divide these into four equal groups for each arm. Keep track of which group you are on by using stitch markers.
Knit two rounds of stockinette stitch (knit every stitch and purl every alternate stitch). This creates the body of the jacket.
When you reach the end of your rows, bind off all stitches in pattern (this will create the armholes). Discard any loose yarn tails at this point.
Next, let's move on to creating the collar of your jacket. Follow these steps to knit a simple ribbed collar:
Cast on additional stitches to create a total of 16 stitches for the collar. Divide these into three equal groups for each section of the collar. Keep track of which group you are on by using stitch markers.
Knit two rounds of ribbed stitch (purl every stitch until you reach the last stitch, then knit it). Repeat this pattern two more times. You should have a total of six ribbed sections in your collar.
Bind off all stitches in pattern (this will create the collar band). Discard any loose yarn tails at this point。
Finally, let's complete the look of your jacket by adding sleeves. Follow these steps to knit sleeveless arms:
Cut off any excess yarn from your tail after binding off your last row of stitches for your body (if any). Discard this tail.
Reserve approximately one foot (about three feet) of yarn for later use. This will be used to attach the sleeves.
Cast on additional stitches to create a total of 16 stitches for each sleeve. Divide these into three equal groups for each section of the sleeve. Keep track of which group you are on by using stitch markers.
