Circular knitting needles should be selected according to the recommendations given in the yarn passport.
There are two principles for knitting a shirt front. So, in the first option, you should start with knitting the neck, and the second suggests starting with the shoulder.
The technique of knitting from the neck. The number of loops, a multiple of 4., is dialed onto the knitting needles. It is quite simple to calculate the required amount: the neck volume in centimeters is calculated and divided by 10. After that, the resulting number is multiplied by the number of loops indicated in the yarn certificate for ten centimeters of the product.
The dialed loops are knitted with a simple or English rubber to the height of the neck. As a rule, it is 12-16 centimeters. Then all the loops are visually divided into four parts. At the beginning and at the end of each part from one front loop in each odd row, two are knitted. Thus, another thirty-six rows are executed, after which the loops are closed.
