Hand Mand is gaining popularity and long-forgotten items are coming into fashion. Who used a bib at school? Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers? Now such a thing can be seen on every second child.
There are many exquisite models that women will be happy to add to their wardrobe. It is about the exquisite knitted models of shirtfronts that we will talk about.
Selection of yarn, knitting needles and model
A simple rule that any craftswoman adheres to is to initially choose a model.
The purchase of yarn and knitting needles should be done only after choosing a model. You will already know what yarn texture to count on and, accordingly, what knitting needles to choose.
You won’t be able to accurately guess the yarn consumption; there will be leftovers anyway. It's better to take extra.
Advice! Don't throw away any leftover yarn. You can then create an interesting composition from them and knit a blanket or small rug.
Rules for knitting a shirtfront
The shirt front will become not only an exquisite product that will complement the image. It is used instead of a scarf. It will protect against cold weather and be comfortable to wear.
You can wear this original women's accessory with a coat, cardigan, down jacket, raincoat or spring jacket.
Set of first stitches on 2 knitting needles folded together for those who don't know:
Then we leave the cast-on loops on 1 knitting needle and knit the 2nd row for the sample. To do this, knit 10-12 cm, it is better to immediately select a repeat (pattern) to see how the pattern will look on yarn of a certain color and knitting needles.
Important! If the thickness of the product or density is needed more, then you should change the knitting needles to smaller ones. The pattern will be smaller, but denser, or you can take 2 threads or thicker yarn.
To the master when creating a product You should pay attention to the following rules:
- the density of the product is an important condition for maintaining a beautiful shape for a long time;
- When in contact with the skin, the material should not cause allergies and fibers that are soft and pleasant to the body should be chosen;
- knitting needles are needed 2 times thinner than the yarn, this will result in a denser product;
- models without buttons and various fasteners are often knitted from the neck;
- to calculate the neckline, you need to add 2-4 cm to the neck circumference;
- The Italian set of loops can increase the elasticity of the edge.
Various models

Shirt for women with decorative buttons
There is one pattern that knitters love. This is an English rib; it is easy to knit blouses, booties, and scarves with it. And the pattern is also good for creating a shirt front. This is the easiest knitting for beginners.
It is always more convenient for children to knit a product with fasteners, but adults can please themselves with one-piece options.
The buttons in the center are a deception, they decorate thick yarn beautifully and a woman, having put on such a model, will feel how the coarse and thick yarn emphasizes her fragility and sophistication.
The pattern is the easiest - alternating knit and purl stitches. This model is knitted without additions or decreases. Knitting from top to bottom, in the round.
In order to make it wider at the bottom, you will need to change the knitting needles to thicker ones. Close off the loops and sew on large buttons.
Dickey with a large collar
Voluminous shirt-collar with a complex pattern, beginners can choose an easier pattern. Patterns with pigtails are more clearly visible if they are knitted with light-colored yarn (gray, light blue).
Braids with loop transfers are complemented by a pearl pattern.
The model is knitted in one piece from the bottom up, 16 rows of garter stitch will give the piece elasticity on the shoulders. Then the pattern according to the diagram, you need to knit only one repeat in height.

Beautiful new models
Following this year's trends, we can conclude: everything unusual is fashionable. Familiar and boring colors are no longer fashionable. But the ones we are so afraid of are carrots.
With fringe
And all those that are closer to natural are what you should pay attention to. There are three fashionable criteria for a shirtfront: volume, fringe and original patterns.
The simplest model looks so expensive and dignified. Take a closer look, dear needlewomen, this is just stockinette stitch and garter stitch, all seasoned with fringe.
But how precisely the thread is chosen and the whole ensemble looks so dignified.
Easy knitting method (English rib, but with each row the knitting becomes weaker). The alternation of long and short fringes adds aesthetics (photo below).
Long bibs for women with large necks
Models where the bib fits the chest and shoulders, but very loose in the throat and even resemble snoods. They are often called two products at once, “snood shirt-fronts”. It's unusual and it's popular.
The model is made from top to bottom and no additions are required after the collar, since the shirt front does not fit the shoulders. It looks more like a triangular piece with an open shoulder.
