A shirt front is an accessory that will never go out of style.

This wardrobe item is an excellent alternative to scarves and stoles if the outerwear has too deep a neckline.

The first shirtfronts appeared in Europe. They were breast inserts that were visible through the neckline of a tailcoat or women's dress. In Russia, this element of clothing began to be used only in the 17th century.

Over time, the shirtfront ceased to be part of clothing and turned into an independent accessory. Today it is knitted in a circle, reminiscent of a sweater collar and expanding in the neckline.

These knitted garments are very popular among different generations and gender groups.

In order for the shirtfront to fit in size and fit well to the throat, you need to correctly calculate the number of cast-on loops required for the knitting process.

To do this, perform the following steps:

1. We knit a sample 10*10 cm.
2. We count how many loops there are in 10 cm (a).
3. Measure the head circumference (b).
4. We calculate the number of cast-on loops using the formula: b: 10*a + 6.

How to finish a shirtfront?

In order to correctly finish knitting a product, you need to follow the following instructions:

• close the loops in the front row according to the pattern;
• try not to pull the edge of the product;
• Having finished the work, hide the remaining threads on the wrong side;
• crochet the edge of the product.

Schemes and models

For girl

A warm accessory for a little beauty not only serves as effective protection from all sorts of vagaries of nature, but also as a stylish decoration that will make you feel like a real princess from a fairy-tale kingdom.

Therefore, when knitting shirt fronts for children, needlewomen choose not only original openwork patterns, but also unusual decorations, for example:

• decorative buttons;
• beads;
• ribbons;
• braid;
• fur inserts.

Let's focus on a simple model of a shirtfront that will not leave any little fashionista indifferent, especially if you choose an interesting shade of yarn and use one of the types of decorations listed above.

For the product we will need:

• yarn (acrylic/wool) of medium thickness;
• straight and circular knitting needles No. 2-2.5;
• hook.

Description of knitting a shirtfront for a girl step by step:

1. We calculate the required number of loops for the neck using the formula, divide the resulting number by 2 and add 20.
2. Cast on the calculated number of stitches on straight knitting needles and knit two identical squares using the selected pattern.
3. We make shoulder seams on 10 outer loops.
4. For the neckline, cast on the required number of loops in a circle and knit with an elastic band 2*2 15-20 cm, depending on the desired height of the collar.
5. Close the neck loops. We crochet the collar in a circle.
6. We process the edges of the product with the same pattern.
7. We decorate the shirtfront.

For boy

A shirt shirt for a young defender of the Fatherland should be made in restrained colors and not be replete with decorations, additional details and openwork patterns.

We offer a step-by-step description of working on a bib for a child:

1. We cast on the knitting needles the number of loops required for knitting the neckline.
2. We distribute the cast-on stitches onto 4 knitting needles and close the work in a circle. We knit 1*1 or 2*2 collars of the required length with an elastic band.
3. Next, we continue knitting in garter stitch, making increases in the front rows at the beginning and end of each knitting needle.
4. When the desired length of the product has been reached, close the loops and tie the edge of the shirtfront using a hook with single crochets or half-crochet stitches. This will strengthen the edge of the product and prevent it from curling inward.

To give your shirtfront a personal touch, you can attach a small badge with the image of your favorite movie or cartoon character to it. Also, original decorations can be a large metal or wooden button or a medium-thick chain sewn to the edge of the product.

For woman

Dickies for women should be original, as they are not only a piece of clothing designed to keep you warm, but also a stylish accessory that attracts admiring glances. They can be combined with or and make up a harmonious ensemble.

When knitting products for representatives of the weaker half of humanity, you should consider the following tips:

• do not choose simple patterns such as stockinette stitch, garter stitch, etc. (even the usual elastic on the collar can be replaced by alternating purl stitch and braid 2*2 or 3*3);
• do not use a large amount of jewelry (one stylish brooch or a pair of unusual buttons is quite enough);
• give preference to restrained, calm colors and shades.

Remember: the finished product should look feminine and elegant, and not pretentious and provocative.

For a man

Unlike the process of creating a shirtfront for a woman, when knitting this warm accessory for a man, you should prefer simple patterns that do not require virtuoso skill:

• various types of surface;
• garter stitch;
• braids;
• stripes.

You can use cords, buttons, badges, chains as decoration.

It is better to choose thick yarn, in soft colors. It is best to use natural colors. Textured blended yarn with a hand-dyed effect is also suitable.

Standard bib models are presented below. Depending on the chosen color, yarn texture, pattern, they can be adapted to suit any age and gender.

How to knit a simple shirtfront on two knitting needles - step-by-step instructions for beginners

A warm, elegant accessory for cool weather can be knitted on just two knitting needles. Even beginning craftswomen can afford this.

To work you will need:

• medium thickness yarn;
• knitting needles No. 2-4 depending on the thickness of the yarn;
• hook;
• buttons/zipper.

Step-by-step description of the process:

1. We cast on the knitting needles twice as many stitches as are needed to knit the neckline.
2. We knit in a straight line with the selected pattern.
3. From the 5th row we begin to make decreases: in each front row, in front of the edge rows, we knit two loops together.
4. When only the number of stitches required to knit the neckline remains on the knitting needles, we stop making decreases and knit a collar of the intended length with an elastic band or other pattern.
5. We crochet the finished product around the edge. We choose the pattern for the border depending on the age and gender of the future owner of the shirtfront.
6. The neckline can be sewn or provided with a button or zipper closure.

On 4 spokes

If a needlewoman uses 4 knitting needles to knit a shirtfront, it means she is going to knit a product with raglan.

Let's look at how this is done step by step:

1. We start knitting from the neck. To do this, cast on the estimated number of loops and knit the required number of rows with an elastic band.
2. When the desired height of the upper part of the product is reached, we redistribute the loops as follows:
   • 1st, 3rd knitting needles – 1/3 of the total number of stitches = front/back.
   • 2nd, 4th knitting needles – 1/3:2 of the total number of loops = shoulders.
3. We continue knitting the product, making increases in front of the outermost loops in the row using yarn overs in the front rows. In purl stitches, we knit all the loops according to the pattern.
4. At the desired height of the product, close the loops.
5. We carefully crochet the edges of the shirtfront.

Please note: the loops on the shoulder parts of the work (2.4 knitting needles) can be closed earlier than on other elements (1.3 knitting needles). In this case, the product will have clearer geometric proportions due to an increase in the length of the front and back, the length of which can also be different.

You can choose any pattern for knitting a shirt-front on 4 knitting needles with raglan. The most interesting look will be a product with braids on the front and back of the work and a stockinette stitch on the shoulders.

On 5 spokes

A shirtfront on 5 knitting needles is knitted if the number of stitches for 4 knitting needles is too large, and there are not enough stitches for comfortable knitting in the round.

In this situation, work begins with the neckline, which, as a rule, is knitted in the round with an elastic band on 4 needles. Next, the 5th is added and all loops are redistributed. Increases to expand the fabric are made in every second front row (2 stitches on both sides of all knitting needles). At the required distance from the neck, the loops close. The edge is crocheted.

Circular knitting

You can also knit a shirtfront using circular knitting needles. To do this, you need to start working from the neckline on knitting needles with a short fishing line. When the collar is ready, divide the work into 4 equal parts, make marks and in every second row add one loop on both sides of the marked ones. If necessary, during the process you can switch to knitting needles with a longer fishing line. At the end of the work, all loops must be closed.

Helpful information

In conclusion, I would like to give some useful tips on knitting a shirtfront. They are suitable for both beginners and experienced needlewomen.

Yarn selection:

1. Choose soft, non-spiky yarn (angora, merino, alpaca, etc.).
2. Remember that pure wool shrinks a lot, while acrylic, on the contrary, stretches. Therefore, give preference to yarn with an acrylic/wool ratio - 50/50, 30/70.
3. The yarn should be of medium thickness; if it is too thin, knit in 2 threads. This will help make the product warmer.

Selecting a pattern, product style, tools:

1. If you don't like complex ornate patterns, experiment with the texture and color of the yarn. Melange threads and boucle yarn are ideal for this.
2. It is better to make the collar of the product with a bend, however, if the yarn is thick, you should abandon this.
3. On the chest side, you can make the shirtfront slightly longer. This will keep you warm longer.
4. It is best to knit a shirtfront on circular or stocking needles. In this case, there will be no seams on the product.
5. When knitting in the round, start at the neckline.
6. When decorating a product, do not forget about a sense of proportion.

Knitting a shirt front is a fascinating process. This knitted product looks interesting and unusual. There are a huge number of schemes and patterns.

To get started, you need to make all the calculations for the neck. Every novice needlewoman can handle knitting a shirtfront for a man, child or woman.

You can use different knitting techniques and methods. This accessory will be an excellent replacement for a traditional scarf or turtleneck.

You can knit a baby shirt with knitting needles not only for girls, but also for boys.

To do this you need to choose the right yarn. Boys like products in blue, light green, and blue shades. For girls, red, pink, orange and even yellow shirtfronts are suitable.

1. Yarn from the Kamtex brand. It is better for children to choose colors from the Bambino series. The composition includes 35% wool, 65% acrylic. The weight of one skein is 100 grams, the meter is 300 meters.
2. Knitting needles. For a shirt front, knitting needles number 4 are perfect. To avoid making seams, you need to take models on a fishing line.

Note! For children's knitting, the thread is folded in two folds.

Knitting is simple and easy. Beginning needlewomen need to follow a few simple rules and technology:

Stages	Step-by-step instruction
Stage 1	Cast on 80 stitches on the knitting needles. Connect the typesetting free edge into a circle. Knit the collar to the desired height. On average it is 15-18 cm. To ensure that the shirt-front fits snugly to the body and protects from strong winds, knit with an elastic band, alternating 2 knit stitches and 2 purl stitches
Stage 2	Distribution and marking of raglan loops begins. During the knitting process, loops are added using yarn overs and broaches. 1-2 loops are added in every second row
Stage 3	There should be 136 stitches on the knitting needles. Next, close the loops of the shoulder and back. Continue knitting in rotating rows. You need to lengthen the front part of the shirtfront. During work, the collar can be made rectangular or slightly rounded. To do this, decrease one loop at the beginning and end of every second row. On average, the optimal number of decreases is no more than 8. The loops that remain on the knitting needles are closed

If the needlewoman has a desire, you can additionally tie the edges of the shirtfront with openwork knitting for decoration. There are a huge number of options and schemes.

Knitted neckline for an adult man

You can knit a shirtfront for a man using a simple pattern. The product consists of two parts, which are then connected.

For work you need to prepare the following materials:

1. Black yarn - 1 skein of 200 grams. It is recommended to choose options where the composition contains 48% wool, 52% acrylic.
2. Yarn for decoration. During knitting you can make light gray stripes. To work you will need about 30 grams.
3. Five circular needles number 4.

Below is a diagram and a detailed description of how a size 50-52 shirt-front works. Knitting starts from the neckline. Take two circular knitting needles and cast on 88 stitches.

Their number may vary depending on the number of loops. It must be a multiple of four.

One knitting needle is removed from the work, 28 loops are knitted with an elastic band from alternating two front and two purl loops.

This knitting needle is released, they take another one and begin knitting another 28 loops. Next, release the working knitting needle again and knit another one.

Important! The last one should have 32 loops.

All of them are connected into a single circle, knitted 40 rows with an elastic band. The result is a beautiful neckline for a men's knitted shirtfront.

Now you can change the color of the thread and make gray stripes. There should be 38 loops on each knitting needle.

After knitting the first strip, the product is divided into two parts. They are knitted separately. The thread is changed to black, 5 loops are closed, and a decrease is made to the left.

Now knit the fabric of the required length so that it covers the shoulders and chest well. The back part is knitted similarly to the front. The only difference is that in the first row there are not 5 loops closed, but 10.

Crocheting a women's shirtfront

For a women's shirtfront with a stand, take hooks numbered 2.5 and 3. The yarn is selected so that the composition contains 89% wool and 11% polyamide.

Knitting begins with crochet number 3. Cast on a chain of 81 air loops. It includes 19 repeats of 4 loops each.

Note! Additional 5 loops are needed to align the symmetry of the pattern.

Knitting begins according to the pattern. They knit 4 rows of a stand, 9 rows of a shirt front, which consists of 26 repeats. The binding is made with a crochet number 2.5.

Buttonholes are made along the perimeter of the edge on the neck side in every second row. The shirtfront will be fastened with 3 round buttons. The optimal diameter is 1 cm.

Schemes of new models

Knitted ready-made shirtfront is not sold in stores. It can only be done manually. The product is knitted by hand. The work is simple and the product is universal.

The shirt front is great for children, men and women. There are a huge number of styles and patterns for knitting.

A shirtfront can be knitted in two ways:

• With pronounced raglan lines.
• No raglan lines.

Raglan threads come with one front loop, two purl loops, and combined ones. In the latter version, purl and knit stitches alternate.

Every year many new shirt designs appear. They can be removed from top to bottom or bottom to top.

The shirt front is knitted from several parts or completely. The finished parts are sewn into one product. The model with a clasp is in greatest demand.

Before starting work, you will need to additionally calculate the loops in order to correctly design the bar.

For knitting, take two knitting needles. The pattern of the collar area is chosen depending on individual preferences. These can be diamonds or four-loop braids.

How to knit a man's shirtfront with knitting needles

You can knit a great gift for your man on the eve of the upcoming holidays, Valentine's Day and February 23rd. He will definitely appreciate it, because you put the warmth of your hands into it. In addition, the shirtfront is very comfortable - it does not slip like a scarf and protects the throat well. There are a lot of options for shirtfronts, you can knit a circular one, but I settled on a shirtfront in which two parts, front and back, are knitted separately - this is the wish of its future owner. For the size 52 shirt-front I used Uniti Light yarn from the Vita company; I needed 100 grams, that is, one skein. I really liked the yarn I used – it’s soft and lays flat. And for a small decor in the form of stripes I used 30 grams of dark gray yarn from some leftovers. You can knit without stripes or use some other color. And you will also need 5 circular needles, number 4.

Let's get to work. We start knitting from the neckline, which is knitted on circular knitting needles with a 2 by 2 elastic band. It is more convenient to knit on circular knitting needles, since there will be no seam. Take 2 knitting needles and cast on 88 stitches. You can vary the number of stitches, but remember that it must be a multiple of 4 for the elastic pattern to match.

Next, we pull out one knitting needle, as usual - be careful, loops fall off very easily from such circular knitting needles. Next, take the first of the circular knitting needles and knit 28 loops with an elastic band 2 by 2. Next, release the first knitting needle, take the second knitting needle and also knit 28 loops with an elastic band. After which we release the second knitting needle again and take the third circular knitting needle - we knit the remaining 32 loops with an elastic band. Please note that after knitting all the loops, the elastic pattern should match - that is, if the first two loops on the first circular knitting needle were knit, then the last two loops on the third circular knitting needle will be purl.

I used 4 knitting needles - one for working and 3 for fabric. Three knitting needles are quite enough for such a fabric and knitting is easier and faster.

In the end it turns out like this:

After this, we move from the elastic to the regular stockinette stitch, but for now we continue to knit with circular knitting needles. When moving to the stockinette stitch, I switched the fabric to 4 knitting needles to make it easier to follow the increases.

So, we begin to knit the next row after the elastic band, at the same time we distribute the loops and begin to increase as follows:

We knit with the first knitting needle - 1 knit, 1 increase from the broach, 20 knit stitches, 1 increase from the broach, 1 knit;

We knit with the third knitting needle - 1 knit, 1 increase from the broach, 20 knit stitches, 1 increase from the broach, 1 knit;

We knit with the fourth needle - 1 knit, 1 increase from the broach, 20 knit stitches, 1 increase from the broach, 1 knit.

In total, we used all 88 loops of our neck and added 8 new loops. Before adding, for beauty, we simply leave the knit stitches, they will delimit our canvas - in the photo in the center you can just see this decorative strip of knit stitches. There are four such demarcation stripes in total - two on the shoulders, one in front and one in the back.

Next, we knit 14 rows of black yarn in stockinette stitch, adding 8 loops in every second row according to the same pattern. We knit the first row - 1 knit, 1 increase from the broach, 22 knit stitches, 1 increase from the broach, 1 knit. We simply knit the second row all knit stitches. We repeat the first and second rows, the only difference is that with each repetition, two will be added to the average 22 knit stitches, which we also knit with knit stitches.

After this, we switch to contrasting yarn, in my case, dark gray, and knit 3 rows with it, also making 8 stitches per row in each second row. In total, we get 38 loops on each knitting needle.

After we have knitted the third row with gray yarn, we divide our knitting into two parts, which we will knit separately.

We take black yarn and cast off 5 loops from the first circular knitting needle, after which we knit one knit stitch (on the knitting needle, in addition to it, there will already be one edge loop, after closing the loops) and decrease with a slant to the left. Next, we knit 29 stitches from the first circular knitting needle, increase from the stretch according to the pattern, and knit one knit stitch from the first circular knitting needle. After this, we do not change the working knitting needle, since we have already finished circular knitting, but with the same knitting needle we begin to knit loops from the second circular knitting needle - 1 knit, 1 increase from the broach, 29 knit stitches, 2 loops together with a tilt to the right, 1 knit, 1 edge. We still have 5 loops left on the second circular knitting needle - they will need to be closed, but later, so as not to interrupt the knitting. Therefore, we throw these 5 loops onto the third circular knitting needle and for now we forget about them, just as we forget for now about the loops on the third and fourth circular knitting needles - we will finish this part later.

We now have 62 loops on the main working knitting needle - we will usually knit them with two knitting needles. At the same time, in order to maintain the slope of our stripes, in every second row we will make increases from broaches in the central part. And so that the shirt front narrows a little towards the bottom, we make decreases in each row, front and back. Thus, the second row (purl) of our knitting will be like this: 1 selvedge, 1 purl, 2 purl with a slant to the left, 54 purl, 2 purl with a slant to the right, 1 purl, 1 selvedge. All other purl rows will be knitted in a similar way, only the number of middle purl loops will change, each time decreasing by 2 loops.

The third row (knit) of knitting will look like this: 1 knit, 1 knit, 2 knit with a slant to the left, 52 knit, 2 knit with a slant to the right, 1 knit, 1 knit. All other facial rows will be knitted in a similar way, only the number of middle facial loops will change, each time decreasing by 2 loops.

At the same time, every three rows we change the color of the yarn - in total I got 4 dark gray stripes. You can lengthen the shirtfront, but I don’t recommend shortening it – it will ride up.

After knitting the last dark gray strip, I knitted 10 rows in black garter stitch to prevent the fabric from pilling. At the same time, I also followed the entire pattern of increases and decreases, otherwise it would turn out ugly and the fabric would shrink.

After knitting one part, we still have the back part of the shirtfront - we do it in absolutely the same way. The difference in the first row is that we must cast off not 5 loops, but 10, since we still left 5 loops from the front so as not to interrupt the knitting.

And we will also have to close the last 5 loops - to close them, I took a small piece of black yarn and closed them separately so as not to break the main thread.

Knitting shirt fronts for men with patterns and descriptions

Knitting shirt fronts for men with patterns and descriptions

In this tutorial we will try to tell you why it is so popular
an element of clothing called a shirtfront, how to knit it, and how to wear it correctly. First, let's find out what a knitted shirt front is for men. Then we will figure out what the approximate knitting pattern is, and also give a description of the work.











Any man's shirtfront is simply a knitted scarf that has the shape of a collar. This unusual form of a warm men's scarf has been fashionable for a very long time, and remains in demand in our time. The long-term popularity of shirtfronts for men is due to its extreme convenience. This men's scarf is the top part of a warm winter sweater that fits tightly around the throat and shoulders, protecting us from frost and wind. You don’t have to wrap such a men’s accessory around your neck, trying to position and tie it successfully. It simply slips over the head and rests comfortably on the shoulders, while insulating and protecting a man's throat and shoulders.

In this photo you see knitting the simplest shirt-front for men. This coarse knit is most suitable for men. For needlework, the easiest pattern is used, which will be easy to knit even for beginners. For such a dense, strictly laconic pattern there is a fairly simple description and diagram. Let's measure the circumference of a man's neck and make a sample to calculate the knitting density. Then we will decide on the number of required loops (P), and make a set of them. For an adult man, the set can range from sixty to eighty units. A three by three elastic pattern will require a P that is a multiple of three. This men's pattern is knitted using stocking needles on top. First you need to tie the throat area with a 3x3 elastic band. Having reached the required length, we will begin knitting the bottom of the product. To correctly knit the bottom of a man's shirtfront, you need to add units. To do this, add 1 loop on each knitting needle at the beginning of the row. We will add in every sixth row. This knitting is done until the desired length of the man's shirtfront is reached, after which we close the P and crochet the edges.

Types of bibs

Any knitted shirtfront will successfully replace the most luxurious of scarves. Knitting this accessory for men has some features. Now we will describe these small differences. In general, the knitting pattern is almost no different from women's patterns.

These men's clothing items are usually made a little rougher than women's or children's models. To knit a men's accessory, the pattern most often used is an elastic band or a rope. If you don’t need to imagine an elastic band, then you will see an example of the “Rope” pattern in the photo below.

Sometimes craftswomen choose hem knitting to make it easier to add P to expand the fabric.

In addition to stocking needles, which were mentioned earlier, they are used to make a shirt front.
. With these knitting needles it is knitted from above, from the throat, using an elastic band or string. For an average piece you will need to cast on about eighty stitches. It is advisable to knit the first three rows with knitting needles in stockinette stitch, and then begin the main pattern. The choice of the type of main pattern depends only on your personal taste. The pattern requires knitting the neckline to the required length, after which P additions begin in the places where the front tracks pass. Additions are made from broaches in place of the front tracks, one per track. When moving to the next row after the additions, do not forget to knit them with purl loops, otherwise unwanted holes will form there. It should be noted that for a man's shirt-front a somewhat unique shape of the canvas should be formed. It differs in that it has an elongated front part. There should be some noticeable feature that characterizes men. It can be achieved by using a dull color of thread, a coarse dense knitting, where the threads are half as thick as the knitting needles. Melange yarn, or dyed in sections, is also perfect.

To lengthen the front part of the shirtfront knitted with knitting needles, you need to complete the throat and shoulder area, then close three-quarters of the total amount, leaving the front part on the chest to work. Then you can knit the length of the shirtfront in the shape of a rectangle, or by decreasing the P. If you decrease the P, you will get a different shape, slightly truncated, semicircular or triangular, as in the photo below.

It's all about which shirt shirt design suits you best. If you knit according to a rectangle pattern in the chest area, then make it about twenty-five centimeters wide and twenty centimeters long. When the length is knitted, cast off the very last row of stitches. If you like a more elastic edge of the fabric, then it is best to knit it with the “Rope” pattern.

Video master class for beginners

To better understand the material on knitting a men's shirt-front, you are offered a video master class, as well as a work diagram. For needlework, prepare number three knitting needles and thick yarn to make the product warm and elastic. The back and shoulder areas of the accessory are knitted with 1x1 elastic, the front part is knitted with stockinette stitch, and the entire product is made of raglan, where the number of loops is increased. There is also a longitudinal harness in front. The number P must be a multiple of four, plus two edges. You determine the height of the gate as you wish. We make a set of sixty-two units with knitting needles, and knit the neck with an elastic band. Having tied the elastic length we need, we move on to performing the shoulder area. To do this, we divide the units into four parts, fifteen pieces each. At the border between these loops there will be a raglan line, so there we will make two from one P.
On the next purl row
purl P, and the rest according to the drawing. Next comes the next front row, where in the raglan area it is necessary to make P increases. These increases are made from broaches that are lifted onto a knitting needle and knitted according to the elastic pattern. The raglan line can be designed in any way you like, but in this master class it is designed exactly as shown in the video. In the area of ​​the front shelf we knit a strip in garter stitch, so that we can then make a decorating strand on it. We make additions in each row, directly next to the edges, as well as in the place of the raglan line. As the length of the canvas increases, the raglan line begins to be drawn, and the width of the canvas increases, the back, front shelf and shoulders are formed. On the front shelf it is necessary to tie a decorating rope, which is formed using removed and transferred loops. Having knitted the shirtfront to the required length, we will close some of the loops on the front side, not reaching the raglan line of the front front. Next, we knit the row without adding, and turn the fabric over. Then we close the loops of the second shoulder, and knit the front front according to the pattern. On the front side of the front shelf we make several decreases along the raglan line. Having tied the front shelf almost to the harness, we close all the loops. Now all that remains is to sew
crochet
