Try to offer your child a fashionable, beautiful and comfortable alternative to scarves and sweaters - a shirt shirt. Moreover, even beginner needlewomen can create it.
Shirtless History
Initially, this wardrobe item was considered exclusively male. For example, in the 16th century, the stronger sex wore white bibs richly embroidered with jewels. They were decorated with a huge amount of lace and ruffle.
Knitting the shirt front gained particular popularity in the 20th century. At this time, a large number of fashionistas realized the beauty of this accessory and began to order them everywhere to the craftsmen of that time.
Today shirt-fronts are ubiquitous: along with women’s, one can meet
male as well as children's specimens. They differ not only in color, but also in the variety of options.
Knitting method
Work on this wardrobe begins with a choice of yarn. Soft, delicate threads will do. Remember, if you start knitting a shirt-front for children, it is important to choose a yarn that will not rub the baby’s delicate skin and cause allergic reactions.
There are many ways you can complete such a winter wardrobe item. You can use raglan manufacturing techniques, partial knitting, the principle of a circular yoke. However, for beginners, a simpler scheme will be for knitting a shirt-front on five circular knitting needles.
To calculate the required number of loops, you can tie the sample with the selected threads. Based on the resulting fabric, we calculate the density of knitting. It is important to remember that the number of loops must be a multiple of four.
We make a set of rows, distribute the loops on the knitting needles and knit in a circle with an elastic band "two by two" about fifteen centimeters. This will be the gateway to the future product. Next, remember the first and last loops on each spoke.
Next, knit the shirt front as follows. In the odd rows after the first and before the last stitch, we make a crochet on each spoke. We even knit even rows with facial ones. After eight centimeters, we knit two rows with a two-by-two elastic band and close the loops. It remains to steam the finished product, and shirt shirt
ready!
