  • In magazines on knitting, as a rule, it is indicated,how much yarn and what quality we need. Make an adjustment to your height and weight. If it is indicated that 800 g is needed, and you are not easy to call a inch at height 194 cm, and weight is not less than 110 kg, then do not think that this will be enough. Of course, this is not a serious example! But still pay attention to the weight, the number of meters in the skein. Also consider the number of shades in the selected option. If you plan to make a one-color model, then necessarily sum all the yarn by weight.
  • Colour. Knitting women's sweatshirts should always be done taking into account the pattern and color. Strange as it may seem, but the same pattern, connected from one yarn, but executed in different colors, can differ significantly in appearance. Paradoxically, but, nevertheless, it's worth considering! With the drawing, you can get the same thing. You bought a stunningly beautiful yarn, chose an amazing pattern, and all together looks absolutely neutral. And the yarn is not visible, and the pattern is lost in this color. In this case, you just need to select another drawing. And maybe another model ...
