Of course, such a designer model in the store will not be cheap, but you can make it yourself.

Before starting work, you should carefully measure your hand so that your future product looks perfect.

What measurements should be taken before knitting mittens?

• The girth of the brush along the line from index finger to little finger(we lead a centimeter tape along the bones).
• From the beginning of the hand to the tip of the middle finger.
• From little finger to wrist. The length of the thumb is also taken into account.
• We measure distance between thumb and wrist.

Also, for your future masterpieces, you need to choose the appropriate size. There is a special glove size chart for men, women and children.

When you calculate the size of the mittens and measure the palm, you should take into account the thickness of the yarn and the size of the needles. If the knitting is dense enough, then a little more yarn is needed: when knitting mittens with plaits or braids, we take 30-40% more yarn e than required.

Yarn is calculated as follows:

• for women's mittens - 100-120 g of yarn;
• for children - 60-70 g of thread.

The table shows how many loops you need to cast on for knitting certain mittens. We start knitting with a brush and knit in a circle on 5 knitting needles . We knit cuffs with an elastic band- through one front and one wrong loop or 2 through 2. We turn to the knitting instructions for the cuff of the mittens for beginners.

1. Loops we we collect on 2 knitting needles.
2. Then divide the number of loops into 4 parts(equally) and throw on the knitting needles.
3. Row of loops close in a circle and tie the ends threads to each other.
4. The cuffs will be 5-7 cm.
5. After you tie the cuffs, add one stitch on each needle.
6. We knit the main part of the mittens to the area of ​​the thumb.

Mittens with braids knitting needles: diagrams and description

In the process of knitting mittens, it is very important to correctly position the thumb. Thumb hole for right mitten will be on the third needle, for the left - on the fourth knitting needle. In the photo you can see a small master class on knitting a finger (one of the options).

1. We knit a hole for the finger. On each needle you have the same number of loops, for example, 12. We knit the first loop on the third knitting needle, and we pin the next 10 with a pin.
2. On right needle throw air 10 loops(the same number of loops you removed on a pin). We knit the final 12 loop.
3. We knit in a circle to the level of the little finger.
4. Reduce the number of links: on the first and third spokes knit with perekida 2 loops(beginning), and on the second and fourth knitting needles we knit 2 joint loops for 2 upper shares (end).
5. On every spoke reduce the number of links (through a row), until half of the loops remain on each needle (from the original number). Decrease the number of stitches on each row.
6. When you have 8 stitches left, close the ring and tighten from the inside out.

Knit thumb

1. We transfer the removed loops to the knitting needle.
2. When we knitted air loops, we also got edge loops. We recruit from them new loops in an amount that is a multiple of 3.
3. We distribute the loops on 3 knitting needles and knit in a circle to the tip of the nail. We decrease the loops, as described above (in paragraph 4).
4. We collect the last 6 loops and tie from the inside.

These 2 patterns will help you master the technique of knitting braids.

Knitting in winter cannot be imagined without warm things, such as mittens, socks, hats. Such knitted little things can become a wonderful gift to anyone winter holiday. This article will focus on knitting men's mittens with braids. I think arana braids work very well with men's mittens.

The mittens that I suggest you knit can be attributed to the average complexity of execution. Therefore, if you take up knitting mittens for the first time, it is better to choose more simple model, and leave this one for later, when you are confident in your abilities.

Yarn Semenovskaya "Svetlana", 250 m / 100 gr, stocking needles No. 3.5 for the pattern and No. 3 for the elastic. Yarn consumption 60 gr.

I didn’t like how this yarn behaves in use at all - it rolls up quickly and stretches a lot, so my advice is to choose another yarn of a similar footage.

Description of knitting men's mittens.

In knitting mittens, two patterns were used: on the palm of the hand, a “rice” pattern, on the back of the mittens, a pattern of braids. Before knitting, it is very important to knit both samples of the pattern, because the degree of stretching for these patterns is different. How many loops are needed for men's mittens, we will find out by making calculations on related samples. Samples must be washed, dried and steamed to understand the properties of the yarn, whether it will stretch or shrink. By linking the two samples, I got the following results:

Pattern "braids" in 10 cm 29 loops,

Pattern "rice" in 10 cm 19 loops.

Pattern for men's mittens with knitting needles "Braids"

The "rice" pattern is knitted by alternating front and back loops. In the 2nd row, the order of the loops changes, that is, the purl is knitted over the front and vice versa.

To calculate loops for mittens, we outline male hand on a sheet of paper and measure the widest point of the palm.

You can read more about taking measurements, techniques and stages of knitting mittens on 5 knitting needles in the article.

I am calculating the number of loops for knitting a men's mitten for a palm width of 10 cm.

The rapport of the “braid” pattern is 28 loops, this is the number of loops I will dial on the back of the mitten (but there are 29 loops per 10 cm of the pattern, I think that 1 loop can be neglected, compensating for the number of loops added to completeness).

With a “rice” pattern of 10 cm, you need to dial 19 loops in order to evenly distribute the loops on 2 knitting needles, again I will neglect 1 loop, compensating for it in the increase of loops for the fullness of the arm.

I will make an increase in fullness 4 loops, 2 loops on the sides of the brush. From these two loops I will knit a thin braid that will separate and at the same time unite the two patterns.

Total 28 loops on the back side + 18 loops on the palm + 2 loops on the sides (4 loops) = 50 loops need to be dialed for knitting men's mittens with knitting needles.

Knitting begins with an elastic band. We collect the calculated 50 loops and knit an elastic band 1 * 1 on knitting needles No. 3 (the elastic band is knitted on smaller knitting needles, then it will sit tighter). I knitted the elastic front crossed * purl. Having knitted an elastic band to the required height, we proceed to knitting mittens. To do this, we knit the last row of gum with knitting needles No. 3.5 and then we knit the entire mitten on knitting needles of this thickness. The first 28 loops are knitted in a “braid” pattern, then a pigtail of 2 loops is knitted with an inclination to the left, a “rice” pattern of 18 loops and again a pigtail of 2 loops with an inclination to the right. From the elastic band to the top of the mittens with the main pattern, I got 56 rows. With such a number of rows, for a beautiful completion of the braids on the descent of the mittens, you need to start knitting on the 5th from the row of the “braid” pattern. We knit according to the pattern until the cut of the thumb. 1/3 of the loops of the lower part of the mitten go to the cut of the thumb + 1 loop = 20/3 + 1 = 7 loops. An incision for the thumb is made, not reaching the edge of the mittens 1-2 loops (this is just a narrow pigtail according to the pattern). Next, the mitten is knitted before the start of the descent (from the end of the little finger).

Descent of mittens from different patterns done according to calculations. On the upper and lower parts of the mittens we have a different number of loops, respectively, in order for the descent to be the same from the upper and lower parts of the mittens, you need to lower a different number of loops from the back and from the palm. From the end of the little finger to the top of the descent of the mittens, 14 rows are obtained (can be calculated by applying knitted mitten to the diagram of the circled hand). For 14 rows on the palm, you need to reduce 20 loops, and on the back of the mittens 30 loops (or a little less, because the rest of the loops are pulled together with a thread). We make decreases in the descent of the mittens on two sides along narrow braids, so the pigtails will go to the very top of the mitten and mask the decreases in the loops. On the palm, 2 loops will decrease in a row, for a total of 14 loops out of 20 (the remainder of 6 loops). On the back side of the first 4 rows, decrease 2 loops through the row, and then 2 loops in each row, for a total of 24 loops out of 30 (remainder 6 loops). In the 15th row, we knit the loops of narrow braids consisting of 2 loops, and we knit the loops of both patterns 2 together, 8 loops remain, which we tighten with a thread.

To knit the thumb, slip all the loops from and the bottom pin onto the knitting needles and pick up the loops from the upper edge of the thumb hole. And we also collect additional loops between them so that holes do not form (we shorten these additional loops in the next rows so that the finger does not turn out to be too wide). The thumb is knitted in a rice pattern, so it is important that the number of loops is divided by two. We begin the descent of the thumb when the connected finger reaches the middle of the nail.

Men's mittens with braids are ready!!!

What can you give to your dear man: father, spouse, son, comrade? The most valuable gifts are considered to be those that are made with care and love with their own hands. It is they who reflect the real attitude towards a person, warmth and sincerity, which one wants to present only to the dearest people.

Knitting men's mittens is no more difficult than women's - only you need to dial a little more loops. To find out how many loops you need to cast on for knitting, you can knit a chain air loops crochet, trying on on the wrist, then connect into a ring and continue to knit already with knitting needles. If you want to calculate accurately, tie a small square sample, and make calculations on it. It is better to take measurements directly from the hand of the person to whom the mittens are intended, because if you take ready-made ones on the Internet, you can get a product of a larger or smaller size. You will need the circumference of the wrist, the height from the beginning of knitting to the thumb, to the tip of the little finger - the decrease will begin here and to the tip of the middle one - this is the final length of the mittens. Yarn consumption depends on the pattern and knitting density. The pattern itself, as well as MK for beginners, can be selected on the Internet, for example, in our article. A tutorial video at the end would be helpful too.

During winter, a suitable gift for the mighty half of humanity will be warm and beautiful men's mittens, which are knitted with knitting needles. Let's analyze the features of knitting men's mittens– selection of yarn, calculation, as well as determination with a suitable scheme.

Mittens - it is very useful and comfortable winter accessory to help keep out the cold. Nowadays, in the bazaar, you can buy mittens of various models, however, it is much more pleasant to wear mittens that are knitted with your own hands or the hands of a loved one.

A few more advantages to learning to knit on your own:

• If you have the skill of knitting clothes, then you can make entire winter sets - a scarf, hat, mittens or snood. Such a set is great for each other, if you use the same style when creating, as well as the same pattern.
• In order to learn how to knit elegant mittens, you must initially create a simple shape of mittens - without a seam and a complex pattern.
• Understanding the basics of knitting such accessories, you will have the opportunity to knit any warm clothes for your family.

How to choose knitting needles and yarn?

Wool yarn is incomparably suitable for knitting warm clothes, because it is quite warm and durable. However, one must take into account the case that it can have an unpleasant effect on the skin, for example, prick and provoke irritation. As for natural wool, it is not inclined to cause irritation, excellent quality, but also expensive. Natural wool includes:

It is also possible to knit men's mittens with knitting needles from a mixture of such types of yarn: acrylic + wool or mohair. Such thread options are warm due to the fact that that contain natural wool, however, at the same time, they do not prick the skin thanks to acrylic.

The required color must be selected taking into account the taste of the man to whom you want to present a gift. Usually, men choose strict soft colors:

• Black;
• Grey;
• Brown;
• Khaki;
• Dark blue.

How to knit men's mittens?

After the calculation has been made, it is necessary to dial the required number of loops and divide them among four spokes. Men's mittens with knitting needles should be knitted starting from the cuff. It is made with the help of an elastic band: 1 by 1, 2 by 2, or a different other option - everything is at your discretion. As for the length of the cuff, everything is arbitrary here, the most important thing is that it does not turn out to be excessively short.

Having dealt with the cuff, you need to start knitting the base of the mitten up to the thumb. You can make this place both with the front surface, and using any relief or jacquard pattern on the visible side of the mitten.

Having tied up to the beginning of the thumb, gotta leave room, which will be intended for him. To do this, you need to remove the loops, from which the finger will then “appear”, onto some additional knitting needle or pin. If there are 10 loops on the pin, it should also be working needle dial the same number of loops. Then continue to knit in a circle.

We continue the process of knitting men's mittens with the help of knitting needles until the mitten covers the little finger. At this stage, the decrease is allowed to begin.

The shape of the mitt can be pointed or semicircular. For the sake of the last option, the decrease is done evenly: for example, every 8 loops, two loops should be knitted together.

In order for the edge to be pointed, the decrease occurs at the end of the second knitting needle and at the beginning of the third, in the same way at the end of the fourth and at the beginning of the first.

Regarding the thumb, you need to knit in a circle with three knitting needles. It’s worth starting to close if only one and a half centimeters are left to the fingertip.

A detailed step-by-step description of men's knitting mittens

Mittens, like woolen socks, must be learned to knit by every woman. Below will be a detailed description of knitting simple men's mittens with knitting needles without a seam.

Detailed description and diagram

This product can be either monophonic or with the addition of a thread of any color in front surface or a rubber band. The knitting plan for such mittens is very simple: 2 by 2 elastic for the wrist, and everything else is the front fix.

Continuation of knitting:

• Knitting the thumb of the right product must be done on the first knitting needle, and the left - on the second knitting needle. Therefore, knit the first loop that belongs to the first knitting needle with an ordinary outer stitch, and remove the remaining 8 with a pin and fix it.
• After that, on the same knitting needle, dial 8 yarn over loops, knit the remaining ninth loop with the outer stitch. Now the mitten has a place for the thumb.
• Now you need to knit 8 cm to the nail of the little finger.
• It is customary to knit the toe of the mittens with decreasing loops. On the first and third needles, knit the first two loops behind the back wall. Turn over the first loop in advance. On the remaining needles, knit the floor two catfish stitches together at the end behind the back wall.
• So it is necessary to knit until the moment when there are 2 loops on all knitting needles. Tighten the loops and secure from the wrong side.
• Knitting the thumb - you need to remove the pin and insert a knitting needle in its place, and thread the other on the opposite side. The result is 6 loops on the top needle and 7 on the bottom.
• Divide the loops into 4 knitting needles: three knitting needles with 4 loops, and she with three, and in addition, one loop must be removed from the side edge.
• The finger must be knitted in a circle and up to the beginning of the finger. After you need to take a reduction.
• Decrease for the finger is done in the same way as on the toe. If there is a loop left on each knitting needle, they should be pulled off the loops and fixed from the wrong side.
• The second knitted mitten must be made similarly to the first, however, in a mirror image.

Patterns for knitted men's mittens

What patterns should be used when making men's mittens with knitting needles? There are many different schemes, however, which ones are suitable for men? One of the simplest and most appropriate mitten knitting options is pearl (also called "rice"). This is a sequential alternation of purl and facial loops, which are placed one above the other. The pattern becomes quite large and obvious..

jacquard pattern

Is it possible to combine jacquard and men's mittens? Jacquard schemes consist not only of flowers, there are many options for Norwegian ornaments, which are great for men. Mittens knitted with jacquard will be more durable and warmer, because they are knitted with two threads. By the way, you can come up with a pattern for the product yourself, and then the mittens will acquire a unique and inimitable look.

Knitted men's mittens with jacquard needles need careful handling, you do not need to tighten the threads very much so that the thing does not turn out to be too tight, however, the weaves should not be left too loose. After all, then it may be that while putting on mittens, fingers will feel broaches.

Knitting rules with mittens patterns

In the scheme of patterns, where paired rows are knitted in the direction of the loop, you need to use records of only odd circles, recreating all odd rows twice.

Let's warm our men - we will tie them warm mittens to the bitter cold! They are warm and comfortable, your hands will not freeze, your mood will be excellent and you will be thanked for them! Learn how to knit mittens for a man with knitting needles.

Winter has already fully entered into its legal rights, and the thermometers have gone far below zero. That is why many women face the question of how to insulate their men. As is well known, the limbs are the most susceptible to freezing. In this case, mittens will help very well, knitting of which is now quite common.

Only at the first glance, it may seem that it is rather difficult to knit such high-quality and warm mittens with standard knitting needles. But, if you use the patterns that are described in this article, you can create high-quality men's products, and you can choose the patterns that you like best. Well, let's figure out how to knit men's mittens.

Before you start working with knitting needles, you need to figure out what material and tools you will need. First of all, a woolen buckle is required (about 200 gr.). Wool of a different color (200 gr.). Choose knitting needles and a half. Also don't forget the safety pin.

Now consider how we knit with knitting needles at the first stage. We collect 72 loops with knitting needles, and then we knit several rows with the help of an elastic band. Next, you need to knit patterns.

It is best to use the so-called border.

Schemes for it you will find on our website. After the knitting of the pattern is finished, make one row completely from the front loops. Remove one loop on each side.

So that in the end there are 70 of them. After that, we apply knitting patterns for men's mittens. For this, additions are made for the finger. In the diagram, where there is an “X” designation, we apply 12 loops to the pin.

At the same time, the last loop that forms the patterns should remain on the needle. In the next row, we collect 15 loops with knitting needles. And in those four that follow, we close the loop along the edge for the thumb.

Next, we knit the main ornament with knitting needles. An elk can act as it. When it comes to decreasing loops, it should be clear that from the side of the brush they start a couple of rows earlier than from the side of the palm. After the moment when all the knitting is finished, pull the thread through the last few stitches. Tighten them properly. The base of the mitten is completely ready, now we knit the fingers. To make them, shift from safety pin 12 loops on the knitting needles, and also dial the same number from the top edge and knit according to the chosen pattern. Any patterns can also be applied to the fingers. The first mitten is completely ready. In order to create the second, it is necessary to knit from left to right.

You can knit a braid pattern on the mittens, like Bella from Twilight:

Now you know how to knit mittens for the men of your family. The main difficulty lies in the choice of ornament. Agree, because not everyone may like the silhouette of a deer on their things. This is a purely individual matter. Therefore, before you start knitting mittens, you need to ask your man which ornament he likes best. You can also take schemes that are used to create other things.
