A knitted item will be a great gift for a man on February 23, birthday, anniversary of dating and so on. To have time to create a knitted masterpiece, you should start needlework right now.
We start the process by creating a pattern
Before you start knitting a pullover with men's knitting needles, you need to make a pattern. Its exact dimensions will help to create a thing that will ideally "sit" on a nice person. First you need to find out what size he wears. If he doesn’t know this for sure, then go for the trick. Hug him with a thread in his hands. Then attach it to a centimeter tape and find out how big your happiness is.
If you want to knit a men's pullover with knitting needles, without making this a secret and surprise, then measure the circumference of his chest, waist, hips with a centimeter. It will also take a measure of the length of the sleeve. Now for a while you have to become a draftswoman. The basics of three parts are drawn - the back, front and sleeves. At the same time, you need to add 2-3 cm in width to each free fit. If possible, it is better to transfer the finished pattern to the tracing paper.
We select knitting needles, threads and knit a sample
If you do not want to fiddle with needlework for a long time, spend a lot of time to knit a pullover for men with knitting needles, then take threads and knitting needles thicker. If the craftswoman is patient and has time for knitting, then you can take knitting needles and a thread of medium or small size.
First create a pattern. For this, 2 loops folded together gain 20 loops. Next, 5 rows are knitted with a gum pattern: 1 row - 1 front, 1 wrong loop. The second row is created as follows: where the front loop was on the front side, it is knitted on the wrong side, and the wrong side - on the front. On the front side there should be slender vertical rows of front and back loops. After five rows of elastic, 10 main viscous are created. Suppose these are facial loops alternating with a small braid (to make it, every fifth row, when knitting on the front side, 2 loops are removed from the knitting needle, the next two are knitted, and then these). Now you need to measure how wide the sample is in order to determine the density of knitting. For example, 10 cm. Then divide 20 loops by 10 cm and get 2 loops. So, in 1 cm - 2 loops. Suppose the front part of the sweater (shelf) has a width of 50 cm. Therefore, to create it, you will need to dial 100 (50x2) loops.
Men's pullovers with knitting needles with a description
The calculations are made, now the desired number of loops is dialed. We have it 100. They start knitting from the bottom, knit 3-4 cm with an elastic band, then continue with the main wake. After you have almost reached the armpit line, you need, according to the pattern, first close a few loops at the edges, and then dial to get semicircular cuts. Sleeves will be sewn here. In the same way, they apply to the pattern and tie out the line of the shoulders, the neck of the shelf and back, sleeves. On the neck, the loops close from the middle to the edges.
The finished four parts (shelf, back, 2 sleeves) are ironed from the inside with a steamer, without touching the elastic so that it does not stretch, and then sew. To process the neck along its edge, we collect the required number of loops that are knitted with an elastic band. Its height should be 2 times greater than planned, since half of the finished “elastic band” is turned inside out and sewn by hand.
The man’s pullover with knitting needles and your tender hands is connected with the soul, the gift is ready, a loved one will certainly like it.
