The need to dress warmly is dictated by the harsh climate of Russia, and the best sign of attention for loved one– men's sweater, independently knitted. Variety of patterns, various schemes with descriptions allow you to please your loved one, both an experienced knitter and someone just learning. The main task is to choose the right materials and follow the instructions contained in the materials.

What needs to be prepared - tools, materials

Preparation for needlework is a necessary component for a quick and comfortable process. The first stage is choosing a model and style. Next is the selection of a diagram that is understandable and easy to read. Traditionally, it indicates the type of yarn needed, but sometimes it can be replaced with another.

Threads of natural and synthetic origin are available on the market:

  • Fleece. Warm, resistant to getting wet, friction can cause pellets to form.
  • Merino. Ideally retains heat, very light, and has a high price.
  • Alpaca. Resistant to pulling, does not pellet. Depending on the density of knitting, both thick warm sweaters and light pullovers can be created.
  • Mohair– fibers obtained from the down of Angora goats. Very warm, but items made from this yarn require careful care.
  • Cashmere– skeins of yarn end up on the market mixed with other types of wool due to the high susceptibility of cashmere to external factors.
  • Angora– balls contain about 40% of this wool and are soft and airy.
  • Acrylic –synthetic fibers, the quality is close to natural wool. Resistant to friction, durable, lightweight.

The next stage is preparing the necessary knitting needles. The required number is also indicated in the diagram.

Next steps:

  • take accurate measurements so that the sweater fits your figure;
  • knit a sample - this will allow you to determine the density of the knitting and the pattern of the pattern.

A simple model for beginners

Experts recommend that beginners choose a simple option with a wide elastic band for their first experience. The result will be a regular everyday sweater, so the color of the yarn should be neutral. The suggested product size is 48/50. It is recommended to buy yarn made from sheep wool and free from impurities, weighing 650 g.

You will need 2 types of knitting needles:

  • straight;
  • circular at number 5.

The principle of knitting the pattern: first perform 4 knit stitches, then 2 purl stitches.

The work is divided into 4 stages:


The first row of the back consists of 90 loops.

Knitting principle:

  • The first loop is always an edge loop.
  • The next one is a purl one.
  • 14 repetitions of loops of the main pattern.
  • Purl loop.
  • Completion - edge.

It is necessary to knit 98 rows in this way. Next you need to prepare the armholes. To do this, you need to close 2 loops and perform a similar action in each subsequent 2 row. When 46 rows with armholes are ready, you need to do the shoulder bevel, casting off 6 loops. At the same time, close 32 central loops for the neck. Subsequent rows on the sides are knitted separately.

For rounding, then close 1 loop at a time, doing this in the second rows. The last one should have 7 loops left. The second part needs to be completed by mirroring. The front should be knitted according to the same pattern. The only difference is the deeper neck. To knit it, you need to close the central 26 loops on the 38th row of armholes. The rest of the steps are similar.

The first row of the sleeve is done in the same way as the front and back. The difference is that you only need to repeat the main pattern 6 times. To make bevels, you need to add 1 loop to every 6 rows. On the 104th row from the initial one, 2 loops are closed for okat. In each subsequent row, purely loops are reduced. They should be closed when 14 remain.

Before assembling, you need to wet each one, pin it to the pattern and wait until it dries.

Next you need to make the shoulder seams. Using circular knitting needles, cast on 74 stitches along the edge of the neckline and knit 44 rows. Sew the product on the sides, then carry out the same actions with the sleeves and attach them to the finished knitted product.

Knitting with English rib

To make a men's sweater yourself using knitting needles, patterns with descriptions of which are widely presented on many handicraft websites, it is important to decide whether you need an elegant or sporty product, the main purpose of which is to keep you warm in frosty weather. Knitting with an English rib allows you to make clothes as warm as possible, while a man in such a sweater looks respectable.

For products size 50-52 you need to purchase wool yarn 2 colors – 700 g of the main color and 400 g of the additional color.

In order for the main pattern to turn out correctly, you need to carefully follow the order of knitting the rows:


The alternation of colors is carried out according to the following scheme: 17 rows of the main shade, 1 row of an additional one, alternation on the front and rear shelves occurs 4 times. Then the knitting looks like this: 18 rows of an additional color, 18 rows of the main color and again 1 row of an additional color.

The opening is done like this: along the edge of the last strip of the main shade, it is necessary to reduce 6 cm. The sleeves are knitted in the same color scheme, both front and back.

Making the neck:

  • Starting row Knitted with auxiliary threads, knit stitches.
  • Several rows, depending on the desired height of the collar, - the main color, technique - garter stitch.
  • Several rows with a pattern " English gum».
  • A row of knit stitches in an additional color.
  • Sew to the main product using a loop stitch.

Collect all parts of the sweater in the usual way.

Wool blend model

For the wool mixture model you will need:

  • knitting needles No. 4 regular;
  • circular also No. 4;
  • 900 g of yarn.

In the process of work, 2 types of patterns are used:

The first 5 cm of the back are knitted with an elastic band, 115 loops are cast on.

The next row is distributed as follows:

  • The first and last loop is always an edge loop.
  • 10 loops of the “long rice” pattern before and after the edge loop, 17 in the center.
  • 41 loops stockinette stitch between the grains of rice.

After the 68 cm long fabric is ready, close the 31 central loops. In every second row, decrease 3 loops once and 1 loop once. The next second row is to bind off the shoulder loops. The front part of the product should be knitted in the same way, but start preparing the collar 20 mm lower than on the back of the sweater. To knit a sleeve you need 45 stitches.

7 cm - elastic band, 13 loops are added to the final row. Next, you need to repeat 10 loops in the “rice pattern” and 20 in the “knit stitch” technique. In every 6th row a loop is added along the edges. Repeat 20 times. The loops are closed after 55 cm of fabric is knitted. The neckline is knitted with an elastic band, height 12 cm. All parts of the sweater are sewn together.

Thick yarn sweater

Men's sweater Knitted from thick yarn with knitting needles, it turns out voluminous and warm. Patterns with descriptions of such products are often developed for knitting in 2 threads of different colors, which increases the elegance of the clothes.

To work you need to prepare:

  • balls of thread weighing 500 and 400 g of the desired colors;
  • knitting needles. You will need 3 straight numbers - 7-9, circular ones - 40 cm long, No. 8.

The basic knitted pattern is constructed like this:

  • 1st row – edge loop, purl 1, slip 3 stitches, repeat several times 2 last steps, edge
  • Row 2 – edge loop, 1 knit stitch, 3 purl loops, perform these 2 steps for the required number of repetitions, edge loop.

Making the back. Cast on 63 stitches on needles No. 7 and knit an elastic band with 2 threads of the main color. After 13 rows take knitting needles No. 9. Knit 16 rows of the main pattern with 2 threads of different colors, use needles No. 8 for the front stitch - 56 loops, 19 rows. Alternating patterns. Upon reaching the 74th row, you need to cast off 4 loops for the armholes. 38 rows after this action, 13 stitches for the neck are closed.

Each side is knitted separately. From the inner edge, close 2 loops in row 2 and 19 loops for the shoulder. The second side is completed in a mirror image. The front of the sweater is done in the same way, but the neckline should be closed on the 26th row from the armholes - the central 5 loops in the 12th row of the strip knitted in stockinette stitch.

The cuff is knitted in the same color as the elastic of the future sweater. Cast on 35 stitches on size 7 needles. After 13 rows, start the main pattern with knitting needles No. 9 - 16 rows and 14 in stockinette stitch. 3 repetitions required. Next they collect finished product. The collar is knitted in the main color. Pattern: ribbed, 32 rows, using circular knitting needles.

Seamless from top to bottom

Most often, an Irish pullover is knitted in a similar way, the distinctive detail of which is wide shoulder straps that hide the shoulder seam. According to the rules, seamless knitting starts from the neckline, which is done with circular knitting needles with an elastic pattern.

A pattern for such a model is not required, but frequent fittings are necessary to be able to quickly correct any defects that may arise.

After the neck is ready, it’s time to knit the shoulder straps, for which half of the loops on the sides are used, the rest are secured with pins. The traditional pattern for this part of the sweater is braids.

The next stage is knitting the back and front separately while the armhole is knitted. Next, circular knitting needles are used to finish the product. Aerobatics is the absence of seams on the sleeves, so for their manufacture loops of shoulder straps, front and back are used.

Raglan with throat

Making a men's raglan sweater requires the following preparation:

  • 550 g of yarn, preferably with a high merino content;
  • knitting needles 6.5.

Patterns used:

The basic principle of knitting the front and back is simple. It is necessary to knit an elastic band, and then use satin stitch. Important condition in this model - correct knitting of sleeves.

After 45 cm from the edge, you need to close 3 loops on both sides. After the first 3 rows and before the last 3, you need to remove 1 loop in even rows.

The sleeves themselves are knitted according to the following pattern:

  • You will need to cast on 46 loops and, using the elastic pattern, knit 7 cm of fabric.
  • Use the “smooth” technique.
  • In every 7th row add 1 loop.
  • A raglan line is formed when 52 cm of fabric is knitted.
  • Close 3 loops on each side.
  • Remove 1 in every second row, knitting the first 3 rows. The decrease is completed when 3 remains.
  • Lay 22 loops every 76 cm.

The collar is knitted with an elastic pattern of 32 rows. The last step is to sew all the details of the sweater.

With deer

A men's sweater with the popular "deer" pattern is also knitted.

According to the instructions in the diagram with descriptions, you will need:

  • knitting needles No. 8;
  • Yarn made from pure wool, synthetic additives are acceptable. The colors are contrasting. The weight of the skeins is 550 and 100 g.

The product uses ribbed and stockinette knitting. The main difficulty is knitting the pattern, which is located on the back, front and sleeves. To make it, you need a diagram showing the location of the colors.

The general principle of knitting is as follows. For the front, you need to cast on 67 stitches and knit a 7 cm long strip with an elastic band. The next 37 cm are knitted in stockinette stitch, after which you need to resort to a pattern with a pattern, for which an auxiliary color is used. After 39 cm preparation follows shoulder bevels– you need to cast off 3 loops and further decrease 1 loop in every second row.

When the pattern is ready, knitting continues with the main color and satin stitch up to a length of 62 cm. For the neckline, you need to close the middle 9 loops and then each 2nd row, 2 loops. Repeat three times. The back is knitted according to the same principle. At a height of 65 cm, the remaining loops should be set aside for the neck and not knitted. For the sleeves you will need 35 loops. Using the rib pattern, knit until a 9 cm cuff is ready.

Next is the front stitch. After 14 cm, add 1 loop from 2 sides every 4th row 8 times and every 2nd row - 5 times. The pattern in accordance with the diagram is made at a height of 44 cm. At 46 cm you need to close 3 loops for the sleeves, then decrease 1 loop every 2nd row. Once the pattern is completed, only the base color is used. Lay the loops at a height of 72 cm.

Sew the parts together, knit the neckline with an elastic band - you will need 60 stitches on the knitting needles. The height depends on the desire of the needlewoman.

With Norwegian pattern

A classic sweater with a Norwegian pattern is knitted identically to a sweater with deer. The main task for a knitter is to choose a suitable Scandinavian pattern. To work you will need 700 and 100–150 g of yarn in contrasting colors. Traditionally, white threads are used for the pattern itself. When using skeins containing 50-60% wool, experts advise using knitting needles No. 3 or 4.

In the process of work, the “rubber” and “facial stitch” techniques are used.. The features of working with armholes and sleeves are similar to those of a sweater decorated with deer. Experienced needlewomen recommend starting knitting a Scandinavian pattern after 100 rows of satin stitch, however, additional details depend on the size of the selected pattern.

When the fabric reaches 45 cm in height, close the armhole once with 6 loops and three times with 1. Knit another 26 cm and close 30 loops for the neck. Next, the halves are knitted separately - for the neckline, 3 loops are closed twice, for the shoulder bevel - 7 loops three times.

The front is made in this way:

  • After 15 cm you need to introduce a pattern with stripes.
  • Then it should be repeated after 40 cm.
  • After 58 cm, you need to close 20 loops for the neck.

Sleeves: cast on 50 stitches and knit 5 cm cuffs with an elastic band. Alternating stripes should be inserted at the same distance as on the front of the sweater. 15 times in each 6th row add 1 loop.

This master class is about how to knit a men's sweater with knitting patterns and descriptions.

There are quite a few models of men's sweaters - “with a neck”, pullovers with various patterns and neckline shapes, with raglan seams. In terms of design, men's sweaters differ from women's in straight, even knitting (no fitted) and long sleeves. In addition, most men's sweaters have a looser fit than women's, as they are often worn over shirts and other clothing.


Let's look at how to knit a men's sweater using the example of different models with in different ways knitting.

Step by step instructions

  1. Having knitted 69 (70) cm, close the remaining loops on each side;
  1. Let's start knitting the sleeves: cast on 58 (62) loops on knitting needles No. 3 and knit a 6 cm elastic band;
  1. We make increases 7x1x8, 13x1x6 (7x1x8, 13x1x6);
  1. Having knitted 47 cm, for a raglan seam we close 2 loops once (only for sizes 46-48);
  1. We make decreases 6x4x6 (5x4x6) and 3x4x4 (5x4x4), and in the next 3 rows make 2 decreases through 9 loops, through 8 loops, through 7 loops, respectively;
  1. We make the last decrease (14 loops should remain) and bind off all the loops;
  1. We make shoulder seams;
  1. Making a collar: cast on 136 (140) stitches on circular needles along the neckline and knit first with stockinette stitch, and then with an elastic band, close after 21 cm;
  1. We sew in the sleeves and sew them up side seams.

Diagram as a hint:

This Irish Pullover pattern is knitted from the top, starting at the collar, and features patterned shoulders that flow into the sleeves, eliminating the need for a shoulder seam.

Knitting such a model is not difficult, the main thing is to understand the beginning of knitting, that is, with the collar and shoulders.

Required materials and tools:

  • 100% wool yarn (120 m / 50 g) - 16-20 balls;
  • stocking needles (3 and 3.5);
  • circular knitting needles (3 and 3.5);
  • additional knitting needle for knitting patterns (braids).

Density: 22 loops per 30 rows for a sample of 10x10 cm. Size 50-52 (54-56).

It is convenient to do fittings while knitting - this will allow you to make a sweater according to your figure, taking into account all the features.

General job description:

  1. For the collar, cast on the required number of stitches on stocking needles (in accordance with the girth of the neck and related sample) and knit in the round with 1×1 or 2×2 rib approximately 15 cm (more is possible).
  1. For wide strips of shoulders, the loops are divided equally and knitting continues in both directions. For “narrow” shoulders, you need to count the required number of loops on both sides, and transfer the remaining loops to a knitting pin.
  1. Knit the shoulders with a pattern (for example, braids) to the desired length. The outer loops remain open (transferred to a pin).

  1. Move to long knitting needles loops along the edges of the “epaulets” and the remaining (if any) loops on pins and knit separately on both sides of the back and front, taking into account the expansion for the chest and sleeves. When the sleeves have been completed (you can find out by trying them on), the knitting is transferred to circular knitting needles and knitted in the round.

The front and back can also be knitted separately and then sewn to the edges of the shoulder strips. To do this, cast on 116 (124) loops, knit a 1×1 elastic band, and then knit the main part of the pullover (in satin stitch or with patterns). For bevels, add 1 loop on both sides in every 16th row. For raglan bevels (product height 43 cm), close 6 loops on both sides once, and then close one loop 24 (27) times. After 59 (61) cm, bind off all loops.

  1. For sleeves, the remaining unclosed loops of the shoulder strips are transferred to circular or stocking needles. Next, the outer loops are cast on in two directions from the walls of the front and back.
  1. The sleeves are knitted in the round to the cuff (they can be extended or narrowed towards the hands);
  1. The cuff and edges of the front and back are knitted with 1×1 or 2×2 rib.

Other patterns can also be knitted from top to bottom, but for this you need to master raglan from above, i.e. the top seam connecting the sleeves, front and back. Sometimes this is the most difficult part of knitting a sweater.
