Why can't I knit for my husband? Signs and superstitions

It is always a pleasure to knit for the man you love. Thanks to handmade work, the item acquires a special originality and unique look. But there is another opinion, which you should definitely listen to. It is believed that knitting for a loved one is not such a good sign.. Why? Let's figure it out.

Who and why forbids knitting for a husband?

Despite the fact that knitting is a creative process, it is shrouded in various mysterious meanings. There is, for example, a number of signs that are associated with the manufacture of knitted items for beloved men.

• Even in ancient times it was believed that knitting clothes for your loved one - to quick betrayal and separation.
• If you don’t want your loved one to leave the family, then never knit socks for him.
• You are only allowed to knit a scarf or hat.

• There is also an opinion that you can’t knit for your loved one before the wedding. It is believed that all the happiness of the young will go away. A girl should not knit anything for the future groom for the wedding, as it is believed that even a lace knitted napkin will bring bad luck to the newlyweds.
• You can't knit if a woman is pregnant. It is believed that knitting will give the future baby nervousness and a tough character.
• In past centuries The husband forbade his wife to touch the knitting needles and threads while waiting for the baby. It was believed that this promised a difficult birth, as the baby could become entangled in the umbilical cord.
• The process of knitting itself is considered by many to be a ritual akin to a love spell. At the same time, it is very important with what thoughts a girl is going to knit for a man.

This “tangle of signs” has accumulated since ancient times, a handicraft beloved by many women. But really, even in the 21st century, should a modern woman look back at these signs? If she knits the whole family, why not knit something for her head?

What if he doesn't like it?

Of course, a knitter can knit for her husband. But can she be sure that he needs it? Doesn't the activity to which his wife devotes many hours cause him irritation?

Both beginners and experienced needlewomen should keep in mind that your husband may not like the knitted item itself or the fact that you spent too much time and effort making it. Therefore, if you have already decided to give a knitted gift, you should think carefully about whether the intended item is really necessary for your spouse.

It is definitely worth considering Is the person you knit for allergic to wool?. Many people choose not to wear wool sweaters because they cause skin irritation.

Don't be offended if your husband does not wear your gift, although he says that he liked it. Everyone has different tastes and preferences, especially since knitted items are still more often worn by women than men.

When making a gift with your own hands, it is worth calculating the time during which you can make it. So that it doesn’t turn out that the gift is not ready for an anniversary or other holiday. A man is also unlikely to like this.

As you can see, the ban on knitting for a husband has a very real basis. Does this mean that there is no need to remember ancient signs?

How to treat a sign

Whether or not to believe in the sign prohibiting knitting for a loved one is a personal matter for each woman. Some people approach such traditions with a smile and prefer to give hand-knitted items as a sign of special love. Others are afraid to do this, remembering their grandmother’s instructions.

Maybe, in order not to take risks, women who have slight doubts should listen to the signs? Especially if you are not sure about your relationship with your loved one. And you can buy a hand-made item.

Well, if you are completely unaffected by ancient prohibitions, knit to your health! And let every new thing that you made for your husband with your own hands “bind” you even stronger!
