Warm yarn and knitting needles

For a men's winter sweater, it is better to choose a thicker thread. This way the canvas will look stronger and warmer. But the strength of the thread is not only in the thickness, it must also contain a lot of wool. Because it is wool that makes the yarn warmer. Some models are best done with double thread.

For a man, you can also use some types of barbed threads, since the sweater is usually not worn on a naked body. But if you have very sensitive skin, you shouldn’t risk it, otherwise the product will simply lie in the closet.

Important! For sensitive skin, you should choose hypoallergenic formulations.

The knitting needles for knitting a raglan sweater are circular knitting needles. Since the product will be made in a circle.

Stocking needles will not cope with it, since there will be a lot of loops and there simply will not be enough of them for the job. It is very important that the knitting needles match the number. Each thread thickness has its own knitting needle number. This hint is usually on the yarn packaging.

How to knit a men's sweater with raglan sleeves?

A sweater for men with raglan knitting needles on top is knitted using the same technology. There will be very subtle differences. For example, you can make a set of loops for the neckline, and then knit the required number of rows with raglan. But after this there will be differences. There are several options for continuing such a product.

Option 1

The loops for the back and front and for the sleeves are separated. Knit the sleeves in circular rows using circular knitting needles. Next, knit the back and front front together. Also knit when using circular knitting needles.

For work use:

• thick yarn;
• circular knitting needles for thick yarn according to its thickness.

Measurements

Be sure to take the necessary measurements to get the product exactly in size. It is necessary to measure the circumference of the hips, this is necessary for making elastic at the bottom of the product.Next, measure the collar (it is not equal to the circumference of the neck, but with a slight wrap). Sleeve length from shoulder to wrist with slight increases.

Sample

Knit a small fabric using a braided pattern. Using it you need to determine the density of the knitting. To do this, place a ruler on the row and count how many loops there are in 10 cm. To determine the second density indicator, you will need to expand the ruler and measure how many vertical rows there are in 10 cm. Convert the measurements into loops, and you can start working.

Rubber

Using an elastic band on circular knitting needles, knit a 2*2 elastic band for a length of 5 cm using the required number of loops for the neckline. Next, move on to the main patterns of the fabric. Insert a pattern with pigtails in the center of the front front and a similar pattern in the center of the sleeves. Knit the remaining stitches.

Raglan

Using distributed loops, make circles with adding loops at 4 points, which mark the boundaries of the sleeves with the back and front front. Make additions to the bottom line of the armhole. Then the loops must be separated into sleeves and shelves. It is better to use additional knitting needles for this.

Sleeves

Knit the sleeves as a continuation of the pattern with pigtails. To prevent them from becoming wide, make small decreases. Every 5 cm, decrease 2 loops from the inside of the sleeve. Then perform the elastic band according to the given diagram. Also make a 5 cm elastic band, then close the loops. To close loops, it is better to use the elastic method when closing loops.

Front and back

To make the front and back stitches, combine the loops of both parts with circular knitting needles. Knit in circular rows without increasing or decreasing.

To do this, position the ruler horizontally and count the number of loops per 10 cm. Then unfold the ruler vertically and count how many rows there are per 10 cm. These two indicators make up the knitting density. Using these numbers, it will be easy to calculate sets of loops for each measurement.

Rubber
