Designer: Adrian Bizilia

The mittens are knitted from the bottom up. First, the outer part is knitted, then loops are raised along the inside of the dur-cord and the lining is made.

Both mittens are the same, that is, there is no left and right, which means they can be worn longer.

What can you give to your dear man: father, spouse, son, friend? The most valuable gifts are considered to be those made with care and love with your own hands. They are the ones who reflect a real attitude towards a person, warmth and sincerity, which one would like to present only to the most dear people.

Knitting men's mittens is no more difficult than women's - you just need to cast on a little more loops. To find out how many loops you need to cast on for knitting, you can crochet a chain of chain stitches, trying them on your wrist, then connect them into a ring and continue knitting. If you want to calculate accurately, knit a small square sample and make calculations using it. It is better to take the dimensions directly from the hand of the person for whom the mittens are intended, because if you buy ready-made ones on the Internet, you can get a product of a larger or smaller size. You will need the circumference of your 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 finger - this is the final length of the mittens. Yarn consumption depends on the pattern and density of knitting. The pattern itself, like MK for beginners, can be chosen on the Internet, for example, in our article. The instructional video at the end will also be helpful.

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

Mittens - this is a very useful and comfortable winter accessory that will help you escape the cold. Nowadays, you can buy mittens of various models at the bazaar, 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 will be able to make entire winter sets - a scarf, hat, mittens or snood. This set fits perfectly together if you use the same style and the same pattern when creating.
• In order to learn how to knit elegant mittens, you first need to create a simple form of mittens - without a seam or a complex pattern.
• By 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 ideal for knitting warm clothes. It's quite warm and durable. However, one must take into account the fact that it can have an unpleasant effect on the skin, for example, pricking and causing irritation. As for natural wool, it does not tend to cause irritation, is of excellent quality, but is also expensive. Natural wool includes:

It is also possible to knit men's mittens using a mixture of the following types of yarn: acrylic + wool or mohair. These thread options are warm due to the fact that that contain natural wool, but at the same time 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 give a gift. Typically, men choose strict, soft colors:

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

How to knit men's mittens?

After the calculation has been made, you need to cast on the required number of loops and divide them among four knitting needles. Men's mittens should be knitted starting from the cuff. It is made using an elastic band: 1 by 1, 2 by 2, or some other option - everything is at your discretion. As for the length of the cuff, everything is arbitrary, 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 either using stockinette stitch or using any relief or jacquard pattern on the visible side of the mitten.

Having tied to the beginning of the thumb, need to 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, you should cast on the same number of loops on the working knitting needle. Then continue knitting in the round.

We continue the process of knitting men's mittens using knitting needles until the mitten covers the little finger. At this stage it is possible to begin decreasing.

The shape of the mitten can be pointed or semicircular. For the last option, the decrease is done evenly: for example, every 8 loops you should knit two loops 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 the round with three knitting needles. You should start closing it if there is only one and a half centimeters left to the tip of your finger..

Detailed step-by-step description of men's mittens knitted

Mittens, like woolen socks, are something every woman needs to learn how to knit. Below we will provide a detailed description of knitting simple men's mittens using knitting needles without a seam.

Detailed description and diagram

This product can be either plain or with the addition of thread of any color to the front stitch or elastic. The knitting plan for such mittens is very simple: 2 x 2 elastic for the wrist, and everything else is a knit stitch.

Continuation of knitting:

• Knitting the thumb of the right product should be done on the first knitting needle, and the left one on the second knitting needle. Therefore, knit the first loop that belongs to the first knitting needle using a regular outer stitch, and remove the remaining 8 stitches and secure.
• Then cast on 8 yarn over stitches on the same knitting needle and knit the remaining ninth stitch with the outer stitch. Now there is room in the mitten for your thumb.
• Now you need to knit 8 cm to the nail of the little finger.
• It is customary to knit the toe of the mitten with decreasing stitches. On the first and third knitting needles, knit the first two loops behind the back wall. Turn the first stitch over in advance. On the remaining knitting needles, knit two soma loops together at the end behind the back wall.
• It is necessary to knit in this way until there are 2 loops on all knitting needles. Tighten the loops and secure on 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 will be 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. Then you need to make a decrease.
• Decreases for the toe are done in exactly the same way as for the toe. If there are loops left on each knitting needle, they should be pulled together and secured on the wrong side.
• The second knitted mitten should be made similarly to the first, however, in a mirror image.

Patterns for knitted men's mittens

What patterns should you use when making men's mittens with knitting needles? There are many different schemes, but 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 takes on a rather large and obvious appearance..

Jacquard pattern

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

Knitted men's mittens with jacquard knitting needles require careful handling; there is no need to tighten the threads very much so that the item 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.

Rules for knitting mitten patterns

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

Knitting in winter cannot be imagined without warm things, such as mittens, socks, and hats. Such knitted little things can be a wonderful gift for any winter holiday. In this article we will talk about knitting men's mittens with braids. I think Arana braids work really well for a man's mitten pattern.

The mittens that I suggest you knit can be classified as of medium difficulty. Therefore, if you are taking up knitting mittens for the first time, it is better to choose a simpler model, and leave this one for later, when you are confident in your abilities.

Semenovskaya yarn “Svetlana”, 250 m / 100 g, stocking needles No. 3.5 for the pattern and No. 3 for the elastic. Yarn consumption 60 g.

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

Description of knitting men's mittens.

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

Braid pattern 10 cm 29 loops,

Pattern "rice" 10 cm 19 loops.

Pattern diagram for men's mittens with knitting needles “Braids”

The “rice” pattern is knitted by alternating knit and purl stitches. In the 2nd row, the order of the loops changes, i.e. the purl one is knitted above the front one and vice versa.

To calculate the loops for the mittens, draw a man’s hand on a piece of paper and measure the widest part 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 repeat of the “braid” pattern is 28 loops, this is the number of loops I will cast on the back side 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 for fullness).

With the “rice” pattern for 10 cm you need to cast on 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.

To increase the fullness, I will make 4 loops, 2 loops on each side 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 each side (4 loops) = 50 loops you need to cast on to knit men's mittens.

Knitting begins with an elastic band. We cast on the calculated 50 loops and knit an elastic band 1*1 on knitting needles No. 3 (the elastic band is knitted on smaller needles, then it will fit tighter). I knitted the rib knit crossed * purl. Having knitted the elastic to the required height, we proceed to knitting the mittens. To do this, knit the last row of elastic using knitting needles No. 3.5 and then knit the entire mitten on knitting needles of this thickness. The first 28 loops are knitted using a “braid” pattern, then a braid of 2 loops is knitted with a slant to the left, a “rice” pattern of 18 loops and again a braid of 2 loops slanted to the right. From the elastic band to the top of the mitten, I got 56 rows with the main pattern. With so many rows, to beautifully complete the braids at the descent of the mitten, you need to start knitting on the 5th row of the “braid” pattern. We knit according to the pattern until the cut of the thumb. The thumb cut uses 1/3 of the loops on the bottom of the mitten + 1 loop = 20/3 + 1 = 7 loops. The cut for the thumb is made without 1-2 loops reaching the edge of the mitten (this is just a narrow braid according to the pattern). Next, the mitten is knitted until the descent begins (from the end of the little finger).

Lowering mittens with different patterns is done according to calculations. On the top and bottom of the mitten we have a different number of loops, respectively, in order for the descent to be the same from the top and bottom of the mitten, we 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 mitten, 14 rows are obtained (can be calculated by attaching a knitted mitten to the diagram of the outlined hand). For 14 rows on the palm you need to decrease 20 loops, and on the back of the mitten 30 loops (or a little less, because the rest of the loops are pulled together with thread). We make decreases in the descent of the mitten on two sides along the narrow braids, so the braids will go to the very top of the mitten and mask the decreases in the loops. On the palm, 2 loops will be decreased per row, for a total of 14 loops out of 20 (the remainder is 6 loops). On the back side, decrease the first 4 rows by 2 loops per row, and then 2 loops in each row, for a total of 24 loops out of 30 (6 loops remaining). In the 15th row we knit loops of narrow braids consisting of 2 loops, and we knit the loops of both patterns 2 together, leaving 8 loops that we tighten with thread.

To knit the thumb, slip all the loops from the bottom pin onto the knitting needles and cast on the loops from the upper edge of the thumb hole. We also cast on 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 stitches is divided by two. We begin lowering the thumb when the tied finger reaches the middle of the nail.

Men's mittens with braids are ready!!!

The mittens are knitted on five needles. This type of knitting is called circular knitting. It is carried out in a circle. The cast-on stitches are evenly placed on four knitting needles, the fifth is a free, working one. She replaces all the others one by one.

One pair of mittens consumes up to 100g. wool We start knitting with a cuff equal to the circumference of the hand. We usually knit it with a 1x1 or 2x2 elastic band. When determining the horizontal knitting density, the sample should be slightly stretched. The number of stitches cast on should always be a multiple of four.

The loops knitted on all four needles correspond to one row.

Calculation and knitting of mittens in a circle.

Knitting needles No. 2.5, hosiery knitting. Knit the pattern of the main part of the mitten - a control sample - and determine the knitting density from it, for example, 3 loops in 1 cm. Count the number of loops to start working: 3 sts x 19 cm (hand circumference) = 57 sts.

Round the result down to a number that is divisible by 4 (by the number of knitting needles) - 56. There are 14 loops on each knitting needle.

For convenience, we number the knitting needles and count clockwise (Fig. 1). On the 1st and 2nd knitting needles we knit the upper part of the mitten, and on the 3rd and 4th - the lower part (palm).

Mittens begin to be knitted from the cuff, using an elastic band, stocking stitch with an ornament, or a dense pattern with fringe. Let's start with the elastic band. The height of the cuff is from 5 to 10 cm. On 2 knitting needles folded together, cast on 56 loops and release one of the knitting needles. Then, very tightly (otherwise the loops will slip and the knitting needles will fall), knit 1 row with an elastic band 1X1 or 2X2, at the same time distributing the loops on 4 knitting needles as follows: knit the first 14 loops with the 1st knitting needle, knit another 14 loops with the 2nd knitting needle, then the 3rd - knit the next 14 and finally the last 14 stitches with the 4th needle. Thus, all 56 loops are knitted and 4 knitting needles are put into work, the free 5th is the working one. Pin a pin to the loops of the 1st knitting needle - it will serve as a guide in your work. On the 1st and 2nd knitting needles there are loops on the upper part of the mitten, on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles on the lower part (palm).

Close the knitting in a circle by connecting the thread from the ball with the end remaining from the set of loops (“tail”). There are no edge loops - this is one of the features of circular knitting. Now knit clockwise along the outside of the circle with a 1X1 rib (5-10 cm), and then from the cuff to the base of the thumb we knit approximately 5-7 cm (it is better to measure by hand or depending on the size, see the table) in stockinette stitch until base of the thumb. Beginner knitters often make the mistake of trying to knit on the inside of the circle - this is extremely inconvenient and time-consuming.

For the right mitten, the hole is formed on the 3rd knitting needle, see the picture, for the left one - on the 4th. Its width is equal to the number of loops on one knitting needle minus 4 loops (14 sts - 4 sts = 10 sts). It is best to use an auxiliary thread to make a hole: on the 3rd knitting needle, knit the first 2-3 loops, then knit the next 10 (hole loops) with an auxiliary thread and tear it off. Now return 10 auxiliary loops to the 3rd knitting needle and after that knit all the loops of this knitting needle with a working thread. If the mitten is knitted in stocking stitch, then you can decrease one loop on each knitting needle; for this, the first two loops of each knitting needle are knitted together. Next, knit the mitten to the end of the little finger.

There are several ways to decrease stitches. Let's look at each of them.

First way. Spiral ending. On each knitting needle we knit the first two stitches together. We knit this way, decreasing the loops in all rows until there are two loops left on each knitting needle. Then we tear off the thread from the ball, thread it into a needle and, having threaded all the remaining loops, pull them together and fasten them on the wrong side.

Second way. Rounded decrease. In order to get a rounded decrease in stitches, you should knit two stitches together in the middle and at the end of the fabric on each knitting needle.

The number of rows that are knitted without decreases should always correspond to the number of stitches knitted between two decreases on each needle. Let's say we have 14 loops on each knitting needle. Let's consider the decrease according to the scheme.

First decrease (on the 1st needle) - knit 4, knit 2 together, knit 4, knit 2 together, etc. on each spoke.

Between the first and second decreases we knit 4 rows with an even fabric.

Second decrease (on the 1st needle) - knit 3, knit 2 together, knit 3, knit 2 together, etc. on each spoke.

Between the second and third decreases we knit 3 rows without decreases, etc.

If the palm is narrow, then it is better to start decreasing from the beginning of the little finger nail 2 together, 5 stocking loops, 2 together, etc., then 5 rows without decreasing, and then as in the example.

With the first and second methods of decreasing, the stitch count of the selected pattern is disrupted, so it is recommended to use them only for stocking stitch. You can knit the entire mitten in a pattern, and by the time the stitches decrease, switch to stocking stitch.

Third way. Pointed decrease in loops. We decrease in each row by knitting two stitches together on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles at the beginning, and at the end on the 2nd and 4th knitting needles, knitting the last two stitches together.

Fourth way. Smooth decrease of loops. On the 1st knitting needle (at the beginning) - we knit 1 loop, we knit the next 2 together using the transfer method, we knit the remaining ones to the end.

On the 2nd knitting needle (at the end) - knit all the loops on the knitting needle, when the last 3 loops remain, knit 2 of them together, and then knit the last one.

On the 3rd needle we knit as on the first.

On the 4th needle we knit as on the second.

Decrease stitches every other row until half the cast-on number of stitches remains on all knitting needles. After that, we begin to decrease them in each row. We collect the last eight loops on a thread and fasten them on the wrong side.

Thumb knitting

When the mitten is ready, we begin knitting the thumb.

For the thumb, you should carefully lace up the colored stitch, gathering the open loops onto the knitting needles. If the finger hole is too wide, you need to decrease one loop on each needle. We distribute the loops evenly onto three knitting needles, the working knitting needle is the fourth. We knit in a circle until the middle of the thumbnail, and then decrease the loops. The easiest way to do this is the first way. When there are 6 loops left on the knitting needles, we collect them on a thread and fasten them on the wrong side.

Using patterns in circular knitting

When knitting on five knitting needles, you can use patterns that are made on two knitting needles. Taking into account the characteristics of various types of mating, it is recommended to follow the following rules:

1. All patterns that are knitted on the wrong side of the work along the entire row with purl loops, and the next one with knit stitches.

2. In patterns where we knit even rows “as the loops look,” you should use only the record of odd rows, repeating each of them twice.

3. In the case when the pattern shifts on both the front and back sides (for example, rice knitting), we knit all odd rows as they are given in the patterns for two knitting needles.

We read all even rows from right to left, but we knit loops opposite to the signs given in the diagrams. So, when knitting rice stitch, we read the second row from right to left, but we knit a purl instead of a knit stitch, and a knit stitch instead of a purl.

Interesting models.

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

In winter, warm and stylish men's made ones will be a good gift for the stronger half of humanity. Let's look at the features of knitting men's mittens - how to choose yarn, make calculations and choose a pattern.

How to choose yarn and knitting needles?

Wool yarn is ideal for winter knitting; it is very warm and windproof. However, you need to take into account the fact that it can prick and cause itching on the skin. Natural wool, which does not cause irritation, is usually of very good quality and high value. This type of wool includes:

• The thread is obtained from sheep. The products are light, soft and very warm. Merino wool yarn is often used for children's products, as it does not cause skin irritation.
• Alpaca. Alpaca wool is soft and warm and is rarely dyed, as the animal's fur is rich in color - from pure white to black.
• Cashmere. This is the undercoat of high mountain Tibetan goats. Very valuable wool, soft, delicate, warm, but cashmere yarn is not produced in its pure form. Cashmere is added in different percentages to other woolen threads, improving its quality.

Men's mittens can also be knitted from mixed types of yarn: wool + acrylic or mohair + acrylic. These types of thread are warm due to natural wool, but not scratchy due to acrylic.

Choose the color based on the preferences of the man to whom you want to give a gift. As a rule, men prefer discreet colors: black, gray, brown, dark blue, khaki.

To knit mittens you will need a set of five needles. For convenience, you can use limiters so as not to “lose” the loops. Choose the size of the knitting needles in accordance with the recommendations on the yarn label or one size smaller - this will make the mittens tighter and therefore warmer. Do not take a larger tool, the knitting will be loose and, most likely, the product will be blown through by the wind.

When the yarn and tool are chosen, we will learn how to knit men's mittens.

Let's do the calculation

In order to knit mittens for a man, you will need from 100 to 130 grams of yarn.

Necessary measurements for creating a pattern:

• Hand circumference (the widest part of the palm).
• Hand length (to the tip of the middle finger).
• The length of the hand is to the tip of the little finger.
• Length of the hand to the beginning of the thumb.
• Thumb length.

Using the measurements obtained, draw a pattern.

How

After calculation, we cast on the required number of loops and distribute them between four knitting needles. Men's mittens are knitted from the cuff. It is done with an elastic band, your choice of 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 begin knitting the body of the mitten up to the thumb. This place can be done with stockinette stitch, or you can use some kind of embossed stitch or along the outside of the mitten.

Having tied it to the base of the thumb, you need to leave room for it. To do this, remove the loops from which the finger will later “grow” onto a pin or additional knitting needle. If there are 10 loops on the pin, then you need to cast on 10 loops on the working knitting needle and continue knitting in the round.

We continue to knit men's mittens with knitting needles until the mitten covers the little finger. From this point you can start decreasing.

The shape of the mitten can be semicircular or pointed. For the first option, the decrease occurs evenly, by knitting two loops together, for example, every 8 loops.

For a pointed edge, decreases are made at the end of the second needle and the beginning of the third, as well as at the end of the fourth and the beginning of the first.

The thumb is knitted on three needles in the round. They begin to close when one and a half centimeters remain to the tip of the thumb.

Pattern diagram

What patterns can be used when creating men's mittens with knitting needles? There are numerous schemes, but are they all suitable for men? One of the simplest and yet most suitable patterns for this knitting is pearl (or it is also called “rice”). This is an alternation of knit and purl stitches going on top of each other. The drawing turns out to be quite large and embossed.

Jacquard pattern

Do jacquard and knitted men's mittens go together? Jacquard patterns contain not only flowers, there are many options for Norwegian patterns that can suit men.

Mittens knitted with jacquard turn out to be warmer and denser, since they are knitted in two threads, and besides, you can come up with a pattern yourself, and the item will be truly unique.

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