A collar collar on a jacket is one of the most universal elements for men and women. women's clothing. Its simple design and countless options for use and production make it the hero of a huge number of fashionable looks.

Buying such a collar can be a challenge, especially if you need to fit it seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. The most successful solution is to knit a scarf-collar with your own hands. From this article, the reader will learn how even a novice needlewoman can independently knit a collar collar with knitting needles and create a variety of interesting models.

The circular collar (collar) is represented by the following model options:

• circular scarf;
• knitted item;
• independent product;
• a product of continuous loose knitting;
• knitted with thick fabric;
• models based on openwork patterns.

Collars in the form of collars and circular snood scarves can be knitted both for decoration from light cotton or silk threads, and for wearing in the cold season from warm yarn.

Throwing it over your shoulders, wrapped around the neck, placed on the head as a hood, folded in an unusual way or pinned with an unusual brooch, its owner can show off a new outfit every day.

Men also include it in their everyday arsenal because it is practical and especially effective as a scarf and hood. In addition, a knitted collar-scarf can be not only an independent product, but also an interesting detail of a parka, dress, sweater or sweatshirt.

The collar can be sewn from ready-made knitted fabric or connected. Similar products are knitted with patterns such as:

• openwork;
• arans;
• jacquard;
• braids;
• facial surface;
• patent patterns;
• garter stitch;
• rubber.

For knitting circular collars use:

• fork;
• regular hook;
• Tunisian hook;
• flexible knitting needles;
• circular knitting needles;
• knitting needles are straight.

When creating circular scarves with your own hands, you can work:

• on one circular knitting needle - more often used when knitting together with a dress or sweater;
• on two knitting needles - very convenient for knitting long circular scarves;
• on four knitting needles with one working needle - convenient when knitting a collar, the loops of which are cast on along the neck of an almost completed sweater.

Structurally, circular scarves-collars can be either rectangular or trapezoidal, gradually expanding.

The choice of tools, yarn and type of knitting is carried out in accordance with the desired properties finished product. It should be remembered- the thinner the yarn, the softer and more flexible it turns out. Thick, coarse yarn allows you to create clear, graphic shapes.

If a product is created without using ready-made schemes and descriptions, in order to determine the required number of loops, it is necessary to knit a square sample with sides of ten centimeters. A simple calculation will help determine how many loops and rows are needed to obtain a product of a given size.

Simple knitting patterns circular collars, the descriptions of which are given below, can be mastered even by a novice craftswoman. By adding an interesting border to a collar knitted with your own hands on two knitting needles or by knitting loops for a fastener, you can get a unique accessory from a simple rectangle.

Description and diagrams of simple cowl collars and scarves step by step

In its simplest form, this product is a rectangular fabric, sewn into a single piece or decorated with a fastener with buttons, snaps or a zipper.

To sell the product, cast on loops on the knitting needles, the number of which will allow you to obtain the specified width of the canvas. It can be equal to the height of the clamp if you plan to make it single, or be twice as wide or more if you decide to knit a double-layer clamp or wrap it several times.

Mark the wrong side.

The first row, after casting on the loops, knit with purl loops.

Second - facial loops, starting with the first edge loop not knitted and removed onto a working needle. Next, knit in garter stitch (all rows are knit), stockinette stitch (all even rows are knit, and odd rows are purl). You can also knit with rib (1x1, 2x2x, 3x2, etc.). When choosing a pattern, keep in mind that garter stitch is denser than stockinette stitch. Both of these patterns look good if made from fluffy yarn, and also from knotted yarn and yarn with beads included.

Having reached the required length, sew the smaller sides of the rectangle from the wrong side.

Crochet the finished scarf-collar and steam the product to even out the fabric.

As a variant of the pattern, knit the product with patterns such as:

• pearl;
• pearl large;
• rice;
• large rice.

The trapezoidal model looks more voluminous and looks good in the autumn-winter season. Work begins with measurements and a set of loops, the number of which will allow you to get a piece that freely covers your shoulders. You need to measure the shoulder circumference, neck circumference and width (height) of the collar. In general, the latter size is chosen in the range from twenty to thirty centimeters. Greater altitude will give greater volume and depth of the product.

Having cast on the loops, knit four rows with the selected pattern and begin to form a trapezoid, evenly decreasing the loops as follows:

• seven times in every fourth row in the first half of the collar (to the middle of the height);
• seven loops in every second in the second half of the clamp, until the number of remaining loops is less than the initial number by at least a third.

Having completed the fabric, close all the loops.

You can knit on two needles, on four with one working or on circular ones. If the work will be done on circular or several knitting needles, at the end of the first row do not turn it over and do not make a row transition.

Working on two knitting needles, think about the type and design of the fastener. It can become an interesting decorative individualizing element.

It is useful to tie the lower and upper edges of the finished product with a simple or decorative border. You can add fringe along the outer edge of such a product or decorate it with tassels, cones or pompoms.

It is most convenient to knit such a product on circular knitting needles, casting stitches along the neck of a dress, blouse, sweater or sweatshirt.

In case of direct version the fabric is knitted with the chosen pattern without any increments to the required length, upon reaching which all the loops are closed and, if desired, the resulting edge is tied.

In the case of the trapezoidal version, increases begin from the second row from the set one. To do this, 8-10 added loops are evenly distributed along the entire length of the row. Then, before the beginning of the second third of the height of the clamp, six increases are made in each even row.

In the second third, six loops are added in every fifth or sixth row so that the final number of loops becomes twice the initial number.

In the last third they knit straight, without changing the number of loops.

Decorate the edge of the finished piece with regular crochet, embroidery, border, beads, tassels and other decorative elements.

Pattern of a knitted circular scarf with a spiral pattern (video)

A DIY circular scarf-collar is a practical and versatile accessory that will not only protect you from autumn winds and winter cold, but will also become a unique addition to everyday outfits and outerwear.

We suggest knitting a warm collar scarf with a spiral pattern on knitting needles. Following the description, you will complete the task in a couple of evenings.

Prepare size 8 circular needles at least 60 cm long and 200 g of thick yarn for a medium-sized scarf or 300 g for a large scarf.

To calculate the dimensions of the product using stockinette stitch, knit a square sample with a side of ten centimeters (10 loops in length, 13 rows in height).

Cast on as many stitches as necessary to obtain the desired length. The number of loops should be a multiple of six plus one loop. Without turning the work over, mark the beginning of the row with a colored thread and continue knitting in the round from the first stitch cast on.

From the first to the fifth row, knit the pattern according to the following pattern: *four knit stitches and two purl stitches*. Repeat this until the end of the row.

From the sixth to the tenth row: purl the first stitch, then knit the pattern *4+2* to the end of the row.

Cowl collar

The shapes of the collar collar are extremely varied: there is a large collar, lying in soft folds, and a small one, adjacent to the neck.

Depending on the model being performed, we choose one or another collar shape. When choosing, we must take into account the weave with which the collar should be made and an important role is also played by the yarn from which we knit, the capabilities of the machine and the experience of the knitter.

First, you can make an approximate pattern, which is convenient for making preliminary calculations. If a flat collar has a shape close to a circle, then by cutting out sectors from such a circle, we get a more fitting shape, and the fit depends on how large the sector is.

To create a pattern we need some measurements.

Neck Length

We shoot either according to the pattern or using finished parts. If you used a pattern in your work, then transfer the cutout line of the front and back neckline onto a sheet of paper, connecting them along the shoulder bevel (spread or in half). If you didn’t use a pattern, then fold the front and back pieces in half lengthwise, connect them along the shoulder bevel, and you can outline the resulting neckline, noting the shoulder bevel line.

If the neckline is large enough, then it is worth subtracting 2-4 cm from the resulting value so that the neckline does not stretch during wearing.

Collar width

This measurement can be found experimentally by applying a measuring tape to the neckline or to yourself and determining the shape of the collar. The usual collar width is approximately 10-20 cm.

Collar Outer Length

The flatter the collar, the longer this value will be. We take this measurement either using the completed pattern or experimentally.

So... The pattern is made, the necessary measurements are taken. So, how can we knit such a collar?.. Now we must decide on the weave to be performed, which gives us the direction of knitting.

Longitudinal knitting direction

If the collar needs to be made with a pattern (openwork, jacquard, elastic, etc.), which should be located in the longitudinal direction, then yes. we must knit the collar in the same way in the longitudinal direction, then we start knitting from the outer edge. In this case, we are limited in the number of needles, so not all such collars can be knitted in one fabric and we have to make two parts, which we carefully sew together during the assembly process. It is best to divide the collar according to the places where shoulder bevels on the front part and the back part.

Depending on the chosen weave, we knit the collar on one font or on two. This affects how we will give the canvas the desired shape.

Single pattern knitting

We can use several techniques in which we reduce (compact) the working area.

A change in density from higher to lower is compaction.

Direct loop cutting- decreasing the loops along the edges of the part, but at the same time the collar is obtained with corners. This collar can be knitted specifically to take advantage of its asymmetrical shape.

Or let's get it out gradual reduction in the number of loops. To do this, you need to remove the loops onto a knitting needle or auxiliary thread and return them again to the machine needles, performing a fit.

If we knit openwork fabric, then it itself is quite loose, so we just need to apply a little compaction and shorten the loops in the area of ​​the last third in height.

Press knitting, jacquard– completing the first 2/3 in height, you can do nothing or remove a small number of loops, then switch to stockinette stitch and perform compaction or direct reduction of loops.

We take a loop test from the control sample and calculate the pattern. In this case, the internal line will be fixed, because must correspond to the length full cut neck, and the outer edge is longer due to the implementation of CV wedges. The more wedges and the more often the CV is performed, the longer the outer edge will be. We start and finish knitting with an auxiliary thread, then sew open loops with a horizontal knitted stitch "loop to loop".

If we want to make a double collar, then we cast on the loops accordingly. with a double collar width and then knit the CV so that the edges of the fabric correspond to the inner line (neckline), and the middle of the fabric increases.

Double knitting

Here, direct reduction of loops, removing the loops on the knitting needle and returning them to the needles, is quite problematic, but you can take full advantage of the possibilities of double-knitting (eraser), compacting and transferring loops (changing the arrangement).

Most often, a cowl collar is knitted on two fabrics simply with an eraser (satin/satin stitch) on all needles, starting with a thinner density and reducing the density at the last 1/3. The collar is finished with a trim tape (single or double). As a rule, we get a fitted collar.

If you need a collar of a more free shape, then it will have to be made of two parts, which are then sewn together.

We finish any version of the collar, knitted in the longitudinal direction, with double binding for the quilting.

Size 44

Knitting machine of any type, class 5

You will need: yarn in bobbins (50% wool, 50% acrylic) - 700 g. 4 shades of blue color thickness 31x2 in 4 folds.

Design: fitted silhouette.

Density on the carriage - 4, Pg on the sample - 3.5 p. = 1 cm, Pv on the sample - 4.5 rows = 1 cm.

Back

Start knitting on 148 loops. Knit 1.5 cm in double stitch, or 3 cm in knit stitch. satin stitch and make a hem. After the shift Smooth stitch transfer stitches to base stitch. needle bed, continue knitting faces. cooler stitch, adding 1 stitch every 47 rows 4 times + 2 rows (= 190 rows). Decrease 1 stitch every 6 rows 11 times. Knit, adding 1 stitch every 8 rows 11 times + 2 rows (= 90 rows).

Armhole: close off 4 stitches at once, decrease 1 stitch every 2 rows 10 times (= 20 rows). Knit straight 16 cm = 72 rows. Using the partial knitting method, knit the neckline simultaneously with the shoulder bevel.

Neck mode: from the “O” needle in both directions, close 18 stitches at once, then decrease 1 stitch each row 6 times.

Shoulder mode: decrease 4 loops every 2 rows until the end of knitting the part. Knit the second shoulder in the same way. Before: knit similarly to the back, but from the beginning of knitting the straight section of the armhole, knit the neckline.

Mode: decrease 1 p. every 3 rows 24 times. Total number of closed loops for the neck (from “0” needle) = 24.

Sleeves:

Start knitting on 84 loops. Knit in double stitch 1.5 cm, transfer stitches to the main needle bed, knit. stitch stitch, adding 1 stitch every 11 rows 17 times + 7 rows (= 194 rows).

Roll: bind off 4 stitches at once, then 1 stitch every 2 rows 30 times (=60 rows) and 3 stitches every 2 rows 6 times. Cast off the remaining stitches immediately.

Collar:

On 200 needles, start knitting, knitting faces. satin stitch 23 cm = 104 rows. Knit with waste thread (BN) 6 rows. Remove the part from the machine.

Assembly:

Sweep and steam the parts. Sew the main seams On the front, according to your figure, baste 3 pintucks on each side and stitch them. You can sew 2 waist darts on the back. Steam the collar, stitch both sides, unravel the BN and pin along the open loops to the base. It is better to make the seam of the collar in the back center.

This topic, in my opinion, is very relevant and in demand. To begin with, I want to duplicate here the description of knitting an English collar for a jacket and coat. Actually, of course, it is suitable not only for them, but it just so happened that the girls were interested in these particular models.
“Now about the collars, or more precisely, about the English collar, because this is what is on both models of interest.
to photo hosting →
Just a trapezoid will not help here; there are a few more tricks. The English collar refers to open collars, i.e. The shelf with it, as a rule, is not fastened all the way. In this case, the middle of the collar is made 1.5 cm wider than the edges (red line 1-7-2 in the drawing). In closed collars (for example, shirt collars), on the contrary, the middle of the collar is narrower (blue line 1-4-2). To calculate the CV along the neck line, divide the segment (1-2) into 3 approximately equal parts and make a tie in the middle of the collar (for an open collar) or in the corners (for a closed collar). You can knit the collar separately, or you can tie it to the neckline - there are different options here. Again, on a single-layer machine it can be made either double - with a collar (thinner than the top) or single-layer, but with a border so that the edges do not curl. Edging can be done by machine or by hand - it depends on the model and yarn. On a double-face machine, the collar can be immediately made single-layer so that it does not curl, using, for example, rep (double-face knitting). The ends of the collar can be made in the form of right angles (including points 5 and 6), they can be extended with sharp angles, or they can be made obtuse. As a rule, these little things are very clearly tracked in men's fashion- in jackets and shirts, pay attention to it if you want, ignore it if you want, this is a personal matter - you are knitting for yourself.
In addition to the shape of the collar, its fit will be greatly influenced by the density of knitting. In order for it to lie neatly, along the flight line you need to knit looser than at the neckline, at least 2 units, otherwise the edges of the collar will be pulled together.
Thus, for a jacket, you need to cast on the required number of loops along the neckline (not reaching the edges of the lapels), knit an overlay in the middle of the collar (with this width it will be 1.5-2 cm, gradually increasing the number of overlay loops, then knit, switching twice density by a larger number after approximately an equal number of rows. At the end of the loop, close loosely, without tightening the edge, if necessary, tie the collar around the perimeter with crochet stitches to reduce the curling of the edge. - this is provided that the collar is made on a single-loop machine of the 3rd class or through a needle (otherwise it won’t work out of such shaggy yarn).
The collar on a cardigan should be done in the same way. "
