Garter stitch: knit front and back rows.

Knitting density: front surface - 22 p. x 28 p. = 10 x 10 cm.

Important: model knit with two balls for a better distribution of colors. To do this, knit alternately 2 p from each ball.

Back: on knitting needles No. 3.5, dial 60 (68/76) 86 loops and tie 2 cm with an elastic band. Then switch to needles number 4 and knit with the main pattern. After 15 (18/21) 23 cm from the initial row, close on both sides for armholes, 3 p. And in each 2nd p. close on both sides another 3 x 2 p. = 42 (50/58) 68 p. After 25 (30/35) 39 cm from the initial row close the right 30 (36/42) 50 p. / 16) 18 p. Knit another 1.5 cm for the bar. Then close all loops.

Before: knit like a back, but with a neck. To do this, after 22 (26/31) 35 cm from the initial row, close the middle 12 (12/14) 16 p. And finish both sides separately. First, continue knitting for 15 (19/22) 26 sts along the left edge = end of the row. To round the neck at the beginning of each front row, close 1 (2/2) 4 x 2 p. And 1 (1/2) 0 x 1 p.

Assembly: details stretch, moisten and allow to dry. Place the left shoulder bar under the front bar and pin. Perform the right shoulder seam with a mattress seam. Sew on the sleeves. The side seams and seams of the sleeves are made with a mattress seam. For the neck strap on knitting needles No. 3.5, evenly dial 64 (68/72) 76 points along the edge of the neck and knit 1.5 cm with an elastic band, while at the beginning of the 1st p. work the 3rd hole for the button as follows: 2 p., 2 p. knit together front, 1 yarn over, knit the remaining loops of the row. In the next row, yarn over according to the pattern. Then close all the loops according to the drawing. Sew on buttons.

You can often find that any non-smooth-dyed yarn is called melange. But not all variegated yarn is melange. One of these colorful threads is sectional dyed yarn. In this article I want to pay special attention to sectional dyeing yarn, to consider its properties and features of knitting from such yarn.

Knitting from sectional dyeing yarn allows you to make both a colorful fabric and a striped one, which cannot be said about knitting with a melange thread. Knitting from melange yarn allows you to make only a colorful fabric.

For sectional dyed yarn, the yarn is dyed after spinning. The color palette, as well as the length of the color segment may be different. But there is a certain rule: even if the length of the color section is different, the color alternation must always be repeated.

Section-dyed yarn allows needlewomen to get a huge variety of patterns without using many multi-colored balls. But it should be noted that knitting from such yarn is very difficult, because when you start knitting from sectional dyeing yarn, you often cannot predict what kind of pattern you will end up with. Even knitting a sample will not always be able to help you with this.

According to the length of the color segment, the sectional dyeing yarn is divided into:

Small-section yarn;
Medium section yarn;
Long sectional yarn.

The short length of the color segments allows you to get a variety of geometric shapes when knitting. Such yarn behaves unpredictably. It is difficult to repeat a model from a magazine from it, sloppy spots often form in the wrong place. The color scheme in symmetrical details turns out to be asymmetrical, the side seam is clearly visible in the product. When changing the number of loops, the pattern is distorted. Randomly scattered color spots sometimes spoil the silhouette of the product.

Long sections of color segments when knitting make it possible to obtain stripes. Such a yarn behaves quite predictably.

It should be noted that knitting from the same ball gives a different result in the pattern when crocheting or knitting.

What to look for when buying sectional dyeing yarn

Firstly, of course, you need to pay attention to the length of the color segment, because the color pattern of the future product largely depends on this. The shorter the color segment, the more colorful the product will turn out. With long color segments, the product will turn out to be striped.

When choosing yarn, be sure to consider what you plan to knit from it. Small-section and medium-section yarn is suitable for small items such as scarves, hats or children's things. Medium-section and long-section yarn will be good for jackets and sweaters, various capes, as well as for stoles and shawls.

Secondly, pay attention to the ratio of color segments in the skein. Different colors in a skein can have different lengths. If a single color is preferred in a ball - it has a longer segment or is repeated more often, then this color in the product will set the tone of the entire product.

Third, it is advisable to purchase sectional dyed yarn in large skeins, and also pay attention to the direction of the color change sequence when winding in skeins. All this will allow you to make the transition from skein to skein imperceptible.

Rules for knitting from sectional dyeing yarn

You can knit from sectional dyeing yarn as from ordinary plain-dyed yarn, without thinking about what kind of pattern you will end up with. In this case, the pattern can be chaotic, giving the product originality and originality.

But if you want to get a specific pattern, then when knitting, you should pay attention to some rules when working and follow them:

All balls must be wound in the same color sequence.
To eliminate the possibility of pattern distortion in symmetrical parts, start knitting them from the same color section.
In order to get the intended color spots in the product, carefully study the length and sequence of the color segments.
In order to choose a pattern that is more successful for the product, tie several samples, starting each with a different color segment. This will help you reduce the risk of getting a mismatched pattern ensemble.
After you have chosen the best version of the pattern, you need to adjust the pattern of the product to the pattern repeat. Often the sectional yarn sets the product model. Therefore, do not take a product with a very complex cut and predetermined color effects. The simplest details are the rectangular details of the back, shelves and sleeves.
If the calculated width of the parts is not a multiple of the number of rapports, then slightly narrow or, on the contrary, expand the part. Try playing with the side seam transfer to adjust the rapport: narrow the back a little and widen the front. At the same time, do not forget to adjust the armhole too.
Often it is the first row that causes a certain difficulty, since it is difficult to adjust the desired turn in the right place. Therefore, it is better to dial the number of loops more (about 15 - 20 loops more) than necessary, and then remove the extra tail.
Keep an eye on the color section of each new ball. Start knitting from a new ball each time with the same color, even if it is necessary to remove a whole color repeat.
If the thread has a marriage in the form of a knot, a break, an elongation, or vice versa, a shortening of the segment dyeing length, then it is better to remove the defective rapport and start from the next one.
Small failures in the pattern (about 1 - 3 loops) can be compensated for by knitting density: knit the loops tighter or looser. Due to the variegation of the canvas, it will be imperceptible.
When changing the number of loops when knitting darts, armholes, necks, certain difficulties arise. For beginner knitters, it is advisable to take a model with rectangular armholes and necks. The reduction of the armhole and neck is made a multiple of the rapport. This allows you to save the pattern. If at the same time the neckline turns out to be too wide, then it can be adjusted with various types of finishes, for example, make additional strapping, add lace, add a placket, etc.
It is better to knit sleeves with rectangular ones with a width that is a multiple of the rapport of the pattern.

The variety of yarn allows craftswomen to experiment and create unique things. Modern ones have many names that differ in composition, color and properties.

Sectional dyeing yarn can be classified as fantasy yarn due to interesting and sometimes unexpected color schemes. This yarn is good because you do not need to independently select and combine colors for the product.

Sections dyed in one color can be short or long, allowing for control in knitting. From yarn (sectional yarn) with short sections, a bright, slightly variegated canvas is obtained. This thread is ideal for knitting children's things or accessories - scarves and hats. Large sections lie in the product in wide, well-matched stripes.

Knitting from sectional dyeing yarn can be done both by crochet and knitting needles. Depending on the chosen tool and work technique, a fabric knitted with the same thread may look different.

Sectional dyeing yarn manufacturers

Knitting from yarn (sectional yarn) always begins with the choice of thread of the ideal composition and color combinations. Fortunately, there are many options - almost all major yarn manufacturers produce a line of "sections". The most famous of them:

Alize Burcum Batik. 100% acrylic (100g/210m). The thread is ideal for children's knitting and for owners of sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions. The yarn is very soft, pleasant to the touch, does not creak or twist during work. Pleases with noble color combinations.
Alize Angora Gold Batik. 10% angora, 10% wool, 80% acrylic (100g/550m). Thin, soft fluffy sectional dyeing thread. Light airy stoles, shawls, dresses are obtained from it.
Vita Cotton Coco print. 100% flammable mercerized cotton (50g/240m). This cotton thread makes beautiful summer things. It looks best in lace and openwork patterns. Color combinations seem to be specially created for bright things for spring and summer.
magic. 100% wool (100 g/200 m). Winter knitting will not do without this thread. From the yarn (sectional yarn) of this brand, very warm and beautiful things are obtained. It is suitable for creating bright stylish cardigans and sweaters, hats and scarves, socks and mittens.
"Camtex". "Chrysanthemum Print". 40% mohair, 60% acrylic (100g/350m). Yarn from a domestic manufacturer is ideal for knitting openwork shawls and stoles with a smooth transition of colors.

What to knit from sectional dyeing yarn

Needlework magazines and thematic sites offer many patterns by which you can knit from sectional yarn. Models differ in complexity and styles, but even the simple execution of some models due to the complex coloring of the thread makes things original and stylish.

From the "sectional" not only beautiful large things are obtained, such as dresses and jumpers, but also small accessories, for example, sets of hats and snoods, knitted stockings and socks. For small items, yarn with short sections is more suitable, for large ones - with long sections.

We knit bactus

It is better to start knitting from yarn (sectional yarn) with a simple product, for example, bactus, which is very fashionable now. On it, the colored sections will be revealed in the most advantageous way due to its triangular shape.

Baktus can be knitted or you get an original product in the style of Bosnian knitting. The scarf begins to be knitted from one end, gradually expanding and then shortening the rows where the bactus narrows.

With knitting needles, you can start working from the center, gradually expanding each "wing" of the bactus. The finished product can be decorated with tassels or fringe.

A few decades ago, the choice of yarn for knitting was so small that you had to get out of the situation and combine different threads yourself. After all, despite the fact that handicraft materials were minimally available, craftswomen still made handmade masterpieces.

Now many yarn manufacturers offer section-dyed threads and melange. Let's figure out what is the difference between these two types of yarn and talk about sectional yarn knitting rules.

Melange yarn

So, melange yarn can be absolutely any in quality, that is, in composition. The main difference from all other thread options is that the finished thread consists of two or more thin threads of a different shade or even color.

Sometimes there are variants of melange-sectional yarn.

If the yarn options that are offered in stores in the finished version do not suit you in color or other indicators, then you can easily create your own melange yarn. It is enough to choose the necessary colors of threads and connect them into one ball. For the highest quality result, it is worth using an electric spinning wheel, which will twist two or more threads into one.

Section dyed or section dyed yarn

Section dyed yarn includes all threads that have a non-uniform color throughout the skein. Sections of different colors are combined into one skein of yarn. It can be completely different options. For example, small pieces of yarn are dyed in different colors. This coloring option can be called briefly sectional.

You can knit with such a thread completely different products, just like when working with ordinary yarn of a uniform color.

But the thread with long sections of different colors in the work is used according to several rules, following which you can achieve an exceptional result.

When knitting unpaired simple products, such as a scarf or a hat, there are no special conditions for working. But when knitting socks or mittens, it is worth considering that they must be symmetrical, that is, the same.

To do this, each product must begin with the same piece of thread. Let's say we start knitting socks with yellow. However, they should be the same. This rule only applies to yarn, the sections of which are long enough. With short sections, it is not necessary to start with one color. The difference between socks or mittens of one pair will be imperceptible.

When working on a raglan sweater, it is best to start the sleeves with the same color as well.

If sectionally dyed yarn is used on products with seams, then it should be borne in mind that the back and front of the product must match the seams in color. It is for this reason that it is best to knit such products from the bottom up.

Do not worry that in the process of washing products made of melange yarn or section-dyed yarn will lose their appearance and shed. Subject to the care instructions given by the manufacturer, the yarn perfectly retains its original appearance.

We hope everything worked out for you.
