Crochet men's bib

Dickies can be crocheted for men, and the resulting products will be no less interesting. They can replace a newfangled snood and an original scarf. Moreover, the image made together with such an original product will please no less. Below is a detailed description of the yarn that helps the craftsman make a beautiful product.

Selection of warm yarn for men

Pure wool is often used to create shirtfronts for men. There are several advantages to this choice. In fact, pure wool yarn will be much warmer. And the other advantage is that it looks quite rough and is very suitable for a man's set. Of course, many varieties of such yarn will not be so gentle and pleasant to the body, some may turn out to be prickly.

Particularly delicate skin should still be protected from this choice. Thread thickness may vary. Since the product with the help of a hook will in any case turn out to be quite dense.

Hook

Even the smallest hook can knit a man's shirtfront. Only two rules are important for him.First, it must get along well with the thread and be its size. Secondly, it should not cause discomfort in the hands of a master. The work will be faster and more enjoyable if it is done with a convenient tool.

Knitting a sample

The item fits well. Therefore, there is no way to do without a special sample. It will do two things at once: it will help you calculate the knitting density, and it will help you determine the required number in a set of loops. And you can also practice making the main pattern for the product.

The sample is not anything complicated - it is a small square. The master always follows the basic pattern of the fabric of the required item. Then a small ruler will come in handy. We place the measuring device on the row and count how many 10 cm crochet elements we have.

Next, we fix the indicator and change the direction of the ruler, set it vertically and count how many rows fall by 10 cm. Two numbers make up the knitting density. Then take measurements and from them it will be easy to determine how many loops will be needed for the initial set, how many to add, and how many rows will be needed for a beautiful thing.

How to crochet a shirtfront for men?

Two beautiful men's shirtfronts, which are made of durable and rather coarse thread. A detailed description and high-quality diagrams will help do this work faster. The item will pleasantly warm and delight the eyes with its interesting patterns. Each model is unique in its own way, one is made in several directions and this is already amazing. The next one in the raglan technique, which is quite often transferred to similar products.

Gray men's bib in two directions crochet

A rather ordinary model at first glance. But once you start doing it, it won’t be so ordinary anymore.Feel free to get creative with color schemes and decorate boring everyday life with bright colors. Or at least one, but bright stripe on a gray color, fortunately the scheme only contributes to this.

To work you will need:

• medium thickness natural wool yarn;
• hook of the desired number.

Measurements

When making the product, you will initially need to measure the neck circumference with a measuring tape. Next, determine how many cm the height of the elastic will be required, and how much will need to be knitted down from the elastic. Record all these three measurements at once.

Sample

Knit the main pattern and make a small square along it. Next, put a ruler on the square fabric and count how much knitting density is 10 cm horizontal in the fabric, and how many rows are formed vertically for the same 10 cm. Next, using the two numbers obtained, and this is called knitting density, the number of loops is determined for the initial set. The initial set in this case will be an elastic band. Since this thing is done from top to bottom and using the raglan technique.

Rubber

The elastic is not knitted in a circle, but in straight and reverse rows. But this is not the most interesting thing about this creation. It all also lies in the fact that the elastic band is knitted across. It’s very interesting, especially since after this the knitting again switches to forward and reverse rows in the usual direction, but this will already be circular knitting. Knit the required fabric. The width is equal to the length of the required elastic band. The length of the canvas is the circumference of the neck. In the last row of the diagram you will need to connect the sides. Knit loops in pairs and this will create an even seam.

The basis

After connecting, the hook will be at the bottom of the elastic, and then the following pattern begins simply along the edge of the elastic.This is no longer a crochet elastic band, but a fabric made from single crochet stitches. So, immediately the fabric of the circle will need to be divided into 12 equal parts and then in each subsequent row, 12 additions will be made in every second row. Additions should be made along one line. This way you will get original and very beautiful stripes on the base of the canvas. Knit the required length and stop knitting.

White raglan bib

This snow-white model is quite difficult to distinguish from a real sweater under a jacket. And it will provide plenty of warmth, you definitely won’t catch a cold with it. But how beautiful raglan looks in this color. Only two patterns were used in this work. For a beginner, the elastic band may seem difficult. But from afar, you can mistake the elastic band for a product that is made with the most ordinary knitting needles. The hook knows how to surprise. Then a description of this charming model is presented.

Used for work:

• white yarn;
• hook of the corresponding number on the thread.

Measurements

Measure the circumference of the model's neck, measure the height of the elastic (if necessary, make allowances for the lapel), measure the required length from the bottom point of the elastic to the desired line.

Sample

If you want the product to be perfectly sized, then it is better to make not one, but two samples for such a model. The first will tell you how many loops are needed for the elastic, and the second will tell you what decreases or increases to make for the second fabric, which is created with a different pattern. This is very important, since the elastic band may result in an unpleasant wave or gather. Knit two squares and count the knitting density for each. Calculate and determine the correct dimensions in advance. This way you won’t have to start the product further and perform the rows over and over again.

Rubber

We have determined a set of loops, and the first row begins - this is the top part of the elastic. Make a corresponding set of loops and knit the required length along the elastic band without changes.

The basis

Switch from elastic band to base. To do this, compare the loops and estimate how much you will need to add or subtract loops to obtain a beautiful line of transition from one pattern to another. It is very important to make additions at 4 points.

To determine these points, you will simply need to divide the whole circle into 4 parts. Additions for such a raglan are very easy to make. You just need to knit not 1 stitch at each of the 4 points in each circle, but two at once.

This will create a gradual and smooth expansion for the shirtfront. To make the front and back sides a little longer, you need to knit 2 additional rows of single crochet stitches for them without changing the number of elements. In order to smooth the edges along the bottom, it will be enough to go through one row of single crochets.

So beautiful and warm things are ready for your beloved man.
