Men's mittens with knitting needles. Schemes and description

What can you give an expensive man: a husband, father, son, friend? The most valuable gifts are those made with love with their own hands. They reflect the true attitude, all the warmth and kindness, which you want to give only to the closest.

In winter, a good gift to a strong half of humanity will be warm and stylish men's mittens, made with spokes . Consider the features of knitting mens gloves - how to choose yarn, make a calculation and choose a scheme.

How to choose yarn and knitting needles?

For winter knitting woolen yarn is ideal, it is very warm and windproof. However, one must take into account the fact that it can prick and cause itching on the skin. Natural wool, which does not cause irritation, is usually very good quality and high cost. This kind of wool refers to:

• Merino yarn. The thread is obtained from the wool of merino sheep. The products are light, soft and very warm. Yarn from merino wool is often used for children's products, since it does not cause skin irritation.
• Alpaca. The wool of alpaca is tender and warm, it is rarely subjected to staining, as the animal's hair has a rich color - from pure white to black.
• Cashmere. This is the undercoat of high-mountain Tibetan goats. Very valuable wool, soft, tender, warm, but in a pure form cashmere yarn is not produced. Cashmere in different percentage ratios add to the other woolen thread, improving its quality.

Also, mens knitted mittens can be knitted from mixed yarn types: wool + acrylic or mohair + acrylic. These kinds of thread are warm, due to natural wool, but non-slip due to acrylic.

Color choose according to their preferences of the man you want to give a gift to. As a rule, men prefer discreet colors: black, gray, brown, dark blue, khaki.

To knit mittens you will need a set of five stocking knitting needles. For convenience, you can use delimiters, so as not to "lose" the loops. The size of the spokes should be chosen according to the recommendations on the yarn label or by a smaller size, so the mittens will be denser, which means it will be warmer. Do not take a larger tool, knitting will get loose and, most likely, the product will blow the wind.

When the yarn and the tool are selected, we learn how to tie the male mittens with knitting needles.

We make the calculation

In order to tie the mittens for a man, it takes from 100 to 130 grams of yarn.

The necessary measurements for the construction of the pattern:

• Girth of the hand (the widest part of the palm).
• The length of the brush (to the tip of the middle finger).
• The length of the brush to the tip of the little finger.
• The length of the brush before the start of the thumb.
• The length of the thumb.

Draw a pattern from the measurements.

How to knit mittens?

After calculation, we collect the necessary number of loops and distribute them between four spokes. Men's mittens knit with knitting needles. It is performed with an elastic band, at your choice 1x1, 2x2 or some other option. The length of the cuff is chosen arbitrarily, the main thing is that it is not too short.

After the cuff we proceed to unfasten the body of the mittens to the thumb. This place can be made with a facial smoothness, and you can use any relief or jacquard pattern on the outside of the mitten.

Having tied up to the bottom of the thumb, you need to leave a place for him. To do this, we remove the loops, from which the finger will later grow, onto the pin or additional spoke. If there are 10 loops on the pin, it means that you need to dial 10 loops on the working knitting needle and continue knitting in a circle.

Continue to knit men's mittens with knitting needles until the mittens cover the little finger. From this point, you can start decreasing.

The form of the mitten can be semicircular or pointed. For the first variant, the decrease is uniform, by tying two loops together, for example, every 8 loops.

For a sharpened edge, the decreases are made at the end of the second knitting needle and the beginning of the third, and also at the end of the fourth and the beginning of the first.

The thumb knits on three spokes in a circle. Closing begins when the tip of the thumb is a half centimeter.

Pattern pattern

What patterns can I use to create men's mittens with knitting needles? Their schemes are numerous, but are they all suitable for men? One of the simplest and at the same time suitable for this knitting pattern - pearl (or it is also called "rice"). This is the alternation of the front and back loops going over each other. The figure is large enough and embossed.

Jacquard scheme

Do the jacquard and the male mittens match with knitting needles? Schemes of jacquard contain not only flowers, there are many variations of Norwegian ornaments that may suit men.

Mittens, connected with a jacquard, are more warm and dense, because they are connected in two strings, besides the pattern can be thought up independently, and the thing will be truly unique.

Knitting men's mittens with knitting needles with jacquard requires accuracy, do not tighten the yarn too tightly so that the fabric is not too dense, but do not leave the weave too loose. Otherwise, when putting on mittens, broaches will be felt with your fingers.
