Where to begin

The basic principle of crocheting products is similar to knitting. But there are still some features that are worth paying attention to:

Before you start knitting, you should definitely purchase a good hook. After all, 50% of the work depends on its quality and how correctly you chose it. Hooks come in a variety of sizes and sizes. You can select them in the store by numbers;
You should familiarize yourself with the special symbols. They are necessary for easier and faster reading of knitting patterns;
It is important to correctly decrease and increase loops along the edges, as well as in the middle of the row;
To be able to create a sweater or jacket with buttons, it is very important to learn how to properly knit the loops for them.

It would seem that there is nothing complicated in the above features, but if you approach them with special responsibility, you will end up with a high-quality and neat product.

A sweater is considered a warm type of clothing with a high neck, without fasteners and intended for the upper body. However, in everyday life, both jumpers and pullovers are often called this way. Essentially, it's the same thing, but without the neck. knitted infrequently, because a feature of such a fabric can be called a fairly high density or, conversely, openwork. However, there are models that require precisely these qualities. For example, openwork products made of thin mohair or angora.

mittens, socks and everything else

A sweater knitted with knitting needles looks more traditional than one made using a crochet hook. In addition, its fabric is softer. However, you can also crochet a sweater. If you have limited options or if you need to use a specific pattern, a crochet hook can easily replace knitting needles. Craftswomen also cope with more complex tasks: crocheting socks, mittens, gloves and other products.

First of all, you should take care of the correct choice of yarn and pattern. Crocheting a sweater will be successful if the thread is no thicker than 300 m/100 grams. Ideally, this figure is 400 m/100 grams. With such a thickness, it is possible to use a large number of patterns without the risk of getting a fabric that is hard, like a shell, or too lacy.

A successful combination for knitting a sweater is the content of 40-80% natural fibers in the thread. A smaller quantity is acceptable if the future product is planned to be worn in spring or autumn. If there are 90% or more wool fibers, the fabric will be definitely warm, but in places of constant friction it can turn into felt (armpits, the bottom edge on the side where the bag touches). As typical even for the best quality yarn.

Pattern selection

Depending on the product model, choose the type of pattern.

Solid.
Conditionally solid.
Openwork.
A combination of several ornaments.

Often, the simplest crochet techniques are used as dense patterns: single crochet and double crochet. When knitting fabric in this way, horizontal stripes are formed. This is clearly visible in the photograph, which shows a men's sweater crocheted.

Conventionally, patterns with a small number of openwork holes are called solid.

They are suitable for knitting sweaters from thin warm yarn (for example, mohair or angora). Openwork patterns are used as a basis for knitting decorative sweaters or as an element combined with dense patterns. The last option is quite often used to crochet a women's sweater.

Preparing to knit a product

If desired, you can change the direction of knitting any pattern, and then the stripes will be located vertically, however, such models require the attention of the craftswoman. Crocheting large items will be more convenient using a pre-prepared pattern.

Experienced craftswomen recommend starting work by making a sample pattern. After the control sample is knitted, it should be measured and counted, how many loops are per 10 cm in length and how many rows need to be knitted to obtain a fabric 10 cm high. By drawing up a mathematical proportion, you need to calculate how many loops or repeats will be needed to knit each piece . These preparatory measures are needed not only for dense, but also for any ornaments.

Crochet sweater: scheme of dense patterns

The main condition for the successful use of dense patterns is relatively loose knitting. This is necessary to obtain softness and some elasticity of the product fabric. Otherwise, a women's crocheted sweater or other product will be crocheted to look like armor. If you cannot adjust the density, you can use a hook two sizes larger than recommended for the selected yarn thickness. Below are diagrams of convenient patterns for knitting sweaters.

Most of these schemes consist of elementary components and are completely simple to implement.

Their convenience is that they are easy to remember and quick to knit. In addition, such patterns make it quite easy to make cuts for knitting armholes, necklines and sleeve caps.

Men's sweater models

To crochet a men's sweater, it is important to consider the features of each model. As a rule, men appreciate the simplest patterns and modest colors of yarn. So there is no room for the craftswoman’s imagination to run wild here. However, there are several options for knitting sleeves and necklines. The most popular is the classic set-in sleeve. Some knitters do not make either armholes or ruffles when making men's patterns, but such products do not fit well on the figure and look amateurish.

The neckline can be knitted in the same pattern as the rest of the details, or you can imitate a knitted elastic band. In the photo above, the neck of a men's sweater, the cuffs of its sleeves and the bottom of the product are knitted in exactly this way. The following diagram clearly illustrates the implementation of this technique.

The main secret is that to form a column, the hook does not enter the upper part of the column of the previous row, but goes directly behind it. Depending on which side of the fabric the hook comes from (from the front or from the back), the column comes out convex or recessed.

The use of such columns allows you to imitate even braids (aranas) knitted with knitting needles.

Crochet women's sweaters

This is where there is real scope for the imagination of craftswomen. You can use almost any yarn and using any pattern (using common sense and your good taste).

Sweaters knitted in one pattern or incorporating several types of patterns look equally good. There are quite a few options for distributing patterns. To keep the product warm, dense patterns should be used to make the main sections of the parts. The openwork can be placed along the bottom of the sleeves or the main fabrics of the front and back.

A crocheted sweater with an openwork pattern on the back has a special charm and mystery.

Men's sweater is always popular in every season. In Russia it is becoming very fashionable to look natural. Simple clothes, without bright elements and especially precious accessories. Everything is simple and tasteful.

A good American tradition awaits us soon at Christmas:

get together with the whole family (including distant relatives);
dress according to the dress code (the important element here is the sweater).

Everyone immediately remembered the film “Bridget Jones” and, of course, Mark Darcy in a charming sweater. It would be nice to have such good traditions.

But before Christmas comes, let's start stocking up on men's sweaters, maybe this year someone will decide to try on the traditions of all America.

Selection of yarn and hook

For a men's sweater, you can choose yarn from medium thickness or more. The presence of wool, or rather the warmth of the yarn, will depend on the personal preferences of the owner. The more wool, the correspondingly warmer the product will be. You can also consider several options for coarse yarn; it will only emphasize masculine features.

The hook is selected according to the yarn, it must be the right size. As for the model, it can be a neat hook with a flattened part for the fingers. It makes knitting easier and your hands won’t hurt when creating large items.

Important! The hook should be convenient for the master. Therefore, it is worth trying to work with several models: with different handles.

Sample

For a men's sweater, and not only you should knit a small square - this is the sample. Use it to determine the knitting density.

How to crochet stitches (for beginners):

How to correctly determine the knitting density: You can accurately determine the knitting density using a ruler. Attach and count how many loops there are in 10 cm in one row. Place a ruler vertically and calculate the number of rows per 10 cm. Write down the density in the form of a small formula 10*10=?*? This indicator can not only be compared with the model indicator in the magazine. The sample helps you calculate how many stitches you will need to cast on initially. Also for neckline, armhole.

Dimensions

Nobody forbids using size tables to create a men's sweater. Only if you decide to create unique things and have a model. Maybe knitting for a loved one: husband, dad, son, brother, grandfather. It would be better to take your own measurements; most likely, some of the table measurements will simply be inappropriate here.

To create a sweater, you will need to determine the following indicators:

back length;
shoulder width;
waist circumference;
hip circumference;
arm circumference (at the biceps);
arm length;
neck circumference.

Seven measurements that will tell you where and how much to add.

Important! The most interesting thing is how a knitted item differs from a fabric item - you can knit purely according to measurements without increases or decreases. Because knitted items stretch.

For a men's sweater, regarding increases, an exception will need to be made. Not all men are ready to tolerate blouses that are too tight. They love freedom and it is better to make a good reserve in some places near the sweater.

Men's sweater models step by step

Gray men's crochet sweater

An extremely simple and laconic model of a men's sweater. Stylish, comfortable and warm, consider the model with a detailed description.

To work you will need:

gray yarn 1200 g;
hook No. 4;
needles.

Here Such patterns characterize this sweater model. In general, such a classic option. The elastic band is also made using a hook. Below is a diagram that helps to recreate it.

You can use a lighter elastic band, the diagram is below:

For it you will need to cast on 16 chain stitches and knit 73 cm. This is the width of the sweater. Then knit the product from the long side of the elastic. The diagram shows the cm you should stop at to create an armhole. The armhole is no more than 5 cm deep. Next, knit the back to the neckline and bind off the middle loops again, making small bevels for a smooth transition.

Important! Lowered stitches will help make smooth transitions in this pattern; these can be single crochets and then simply connecting stitches.

Before knitting in a similar pattern, just make the neckline a little deeper. To accomplish this, you will only need to start decreasing the loops earlier.

Sleeves are also knitted with elastic. It will help to create a hook and an elastic pattern for the hook. Next, move on to the main pattern of the canvas. For sleeves, additions are required in the upper third.

Important! Particular attention should be paid to the armholes on all parts. They are square and therefore the sleeves do not require any special rounding.

Assembly

A needle for knitted items is necessary sew the front and back with shoulder seams, then hem the sleeves. Sew the side seams along the sleeves and along the front. All that remains is to knit the collar for the sweater. You can use a hook and a familiar pattern, or try using knitting needles to complete this complex element.

The sweater is ready and you can try it on.

Sweater white

This model was stolen from the country's main catwalk. Therefore, put all matters aside and begin to study how to make it at home and please your friends with cool new products. Moreover, they are very warm and even sincere, which is very rare.

To work you will need:

white yarn 1400 g;
hook number 4.

This model does not have elastic bands, does not have knitted collars and generally does not have any kind of trim.. Strict and to the point. But should this pattern really require something? Huge columns of thick yarn are the entire decoration of the sweater. It's enough for him.

For a good model, it is better to draw a pattern on a piece of paper, then knit the sample and fill the pattern with your measurements.

Important! The only difficult parts of the model are the armhole and neckline - they need to be made very smooth so that there is no desire to add a binding.

The front and back are almost identical. Start from the bottom. 40 chain stitches are cast on and the knitting continues with rows of single crochet stitches. Knit 20 rows and make smooth bevels for the armholes (no more than 5 cm each).

With the onset of cold weather, every person begins to think more about warm clothes. It includes jumpers, sweaters and sweatshirts. It can also be a knitted cardigan, jacket or turtleneck. It's very nice to wear something when it's new. And it will be doubly nicer and warmer if such a thing was knitted, for example, by your beloved wife.

To knit a sweater for a man, you can use knitting needles or a crochet hook. Since there is a lot of information on the Internet about knitted products for men, in this article we will look at how to knit a sweater for a man using a crochet hook.

For beginners, it is better to use simple knitting, then there is a greater chance of not abandoning your first knitting experience in confusion, but of finishing the product to the end and giving a warm sweater knitted with love to your husband or boyfriend. To help you, our editors have prepared photos of models, instructions, patterns and videos from MK.

Crocheted items look very impressive. In addition, they are much more practical than those knitted with knitting needles - they are not so deformed when washed. Each hand-knitted item is unique. Even if one craftswoman knits two things with the same crochet, the same threads and the same pattern, then things turn out to be exclusive.

If you learn how to crochet a men's pullover, the item will turn out to be truly unique, and the image will be inimitable. This also applies to women's sweaters. After all, you can crochet both a women's and a men's sweater. To do this you need to master all types of loops:

air;
aerial double crochet;
column;
double crochet;
double crochet stitch.

There are also rare loops, but basically all patterns are knitted with these loops and their combination. Schemes provided for the pattern almost always come with a description.

Having decided on the model of a men's sweater, you need to buy threads. The thicker the threads, the thicker the hook you need to choose. Knitting large loops from thick yarn, we get a voluminous and soft product. If you use thin threads for knitting, then it will take a lot more of them, and along with them, it will take more time to knit the product.

To knit a pullover of the right size (no smaller and no larger), you will need to take measurements and make a pattern. If this is a model of a classic straight pullover, then the following measurements will be required:

chest girth;
hip girth;
shoulder length;
length of the product;
the length of the sleeve;
neck girth.

Based on the data received, we build a pattern, which will be used for regular fitting in the future.

You can crochet a jumper either from the bottom or from the neckline. This applies to both women's and men's products. If the jumper is knitted from the bottom, then each part will be knitted separately; and if we consider the option of knitting from the neck, then the entire product will be in use at once. In the latter case, a toe or V-neck will not work.

We start the work with an elastic band, which we knit perpendicular to the pullover itself. We make a chain of air loops, the length of which should be slightly higher than the finished elastic height – 8-10 cm. A simple single crochet is worked into the front part of the stitch. At the end of the row, an air loop is made, and the next row is knitted with the same single crochet, only at the back of the loop. Thanks to this knitting, we get an excellent elastic band for a pullover that will not stretch. Its length corresponds to half the circumference of the hips.

The back and front of a men's pullover can be knitted in a pattern, or in simple stitches. After the elastic band, work continues with a crochet hook one size thicker. In the first row, stitches are increased at regular intervals, but not often. The fabric is knitted in a rectangular shape up to the armhole. Then the number of loops in the row becomes smaller, since an armhole is formed on both sides. When the length of the part reaches the neck, a certain number of loops in the middle of the product remain unknitted for it. The two shoulders are knitted separately to the desired height.

The sleeves begin to be knitted with the same elastic band. After it, knit the main pattern, not forgetting to make increases at the beginning and end of the row for expansion. Having a sleeve pattern, you can correctly calculate the number of rows between increases.

The assembly of the finished pullover parts is carried out after steaming them. They are sewn together with the same thread as they were knitted. Then you need to tie the neckline with simple single crochets.

This is how simple a sweater turns out to be if you knit all its details according to the pattern. A pattern for such a simple crochet pattern is not required. A V-neck is also suitable for this sweater model.

Men's crochet sweater. Demi-season pullover model

This product is knitted with simple threads, 100% mercerized cotton. The model belongs to the unisex style and is considered youth.

As always, according to the sizes, you need to make patterns of all the details.

Sample:

1st row: air loops.
Next, 3 double crochets over three chain stitches, a chain of 5 chain stitches. Then 3 double crochets, but through 5 loops of the chain.
Above the double crochets, double crochets are knitted, and above the chain of chain stitches - the same chain of 5 chain stitches.

If you try to knit such a pattern, you will realize that it is very simple. The diagram will be needed only for the sample, for the first rows. Since each row of the diagram is the same, you don’t have to remember it especially. Get to work.

Back. This pattern is knitted without elastic. The work begins with a chain of air loops, which must be correctly calculated, taking into account the fact that a product made from these threads will certainly shrink. The rectangular fabric is knitted to the desired length of the product.

Before. Everything is the same as for the back, but there will be a neckline for which a certain number of middle loops remain unknitted. Then the two halves of the front are knitted separately. At a certain height, a semicircular rounding is made on both sides of the neck.

Sleeves. Knitting begins with a chain of air loops, after which the main pattern is knitted. According to the pattern, the sleeve should be trapezoidal. To do this, you need to increase loops on both sides of the sleeve at a certain height. The sleeve fabric is considered ready when the part reaches a certain height.

Assembly. You need to sew the side and shoulder seams, sew the sleeve and sew it into the armhole. Decorate the neckline with a simple single crochet. For a warm, voluminous sweater, thick yarn is suitable, and for summer it is better to take cotton. Depending on what season the sweater is knitted for, the pattern of the pattern is selected. A man will be able to evaluate the product only after he starts wearing it. It is better to choose a hook for work with a flat handle, so your fingers will get less tired.
