A sleeveless vest should definitely be in a real man's wardrobe. Particular preference is given to strict options, and even if the product is knitted by hand, it is especially valuable to a strong representative of humanity. It will be useful for needlewomen to learn how to knit a men's sleeveless vest using knitting needles; the diagrams and descriptions for them will be very useful in the work.

Model of a men's sleeveless vest with knitting needles with diagrams and descriptions

Any man will like this stylish sleeveless vest. This model is especially interesting, because a sleeveless vest knitted specifically for men will be very practical to wear.

You need yarn and knitting needles. Consider size fifty-two to fifty-four. We start work by knitting the back. Cast on one hundred and ten loops and knit six centimeters with an elastic band one after another. In the next row, add one hundred and twelve stitches. The result was one hundred and twenty-two loops, which knitted according to the pattern:

When forty-nine centimeters have already been knitted, you need to close the loops for shoulder bevel. First, four loops, and then in every second row you need to decrease three, two and one loop. Having knitted twenty-five centimeters, from the beginning of the bevel we close thirty-four loops along the edges, and the thirty-four central ones that remain must be removed on an additional knitting needle.

The front is knitted similarly to the back, only the neckline will be a toe. For it, at a height of nine centimeters, we remove the two middle loops and decrease both parts seventeen times, one loop in every fourth row. At a height of seventy-four centimeters we close off thirty-four loops for each shoulder.

The knitting is almost finished, all that remains is to assemble the parts of the product.

We make one shoulder seam. Raise all the throat loops onto a knitting needle and knit eight rows with an elastic band. Decrease one stitch at a time from the two center stitches. Close the loops according to the scheme:

Sew along the shoulder seams and also the binding. Along the edges of the bevels, put all the loops on a knitting needle and knit with an elastic band, face to back, for six rows, then close the loops as shown in the figure. So the craftswomen have learned how to knit a basic men's sleeveless vest using knitting needles!

The second version of a brutal sleeveless vest

This version of the sleeveless vest is very conservative and is suitable even for business meetings. It looks neat and unobtrusive.

For this model you need number four knitting needles and acrylic yarn.

The diagram is attached:

Start the product from the back. Cast on one hundred and twenty-three loops and knit six centimeters with an elastic band. Then knitting proceeds according to the pattern, adding eight loops in one purl row. There should be one hundred and thirty-one loops.

Having knitted about forty centimeters, close four loops on each side and decrease three loops every other row, two loops three times, one loop three times. And in this way make decreases until ninety-nine loops remain. Having knitted to a height of sixty-eight centimeters, you need to close twenty-eight loops for the shoulders, and forty-three loops for the throat.

Before knitting it is similar to the back, but after forty-two centimeters are knitted, we knit the toe of the collar. To do this, the middle loop needs to be closed, and in every second row you need to decrease one loop from the toe side twenty-one times. At a height of sixty-eight centimeters, bind off twenty-eight loops for each shoulder.

Important! Before assembly, the product should be slightly moistened with water and wait until it dries.

Sew one shoulder. Raise the loops along the very edge of the neck, mark a corner loop and knit with an elastic band one on one, while decreasing one loop five times in every second row. And so knit ten rows, then close according to the pattern. Now sew the other shoulder. Along the edges of the bevels, pick up all the loops and knit with an elastic band one by one four centimeters, close all the loops. That's all, a great sleeveless vest is ready!

An interesting example of work for beginners in needlework

In some models, needlewomen themselves come up with interesting knitting patterns and then bring them to life.

Our material will present another version of a men's sleeveless vest.

For the back you need one hundred twenty-six loops, knit seven centimeters with an elastic band. Having knitted thirty-five centimeters, we begin to make an armhole, while closing off ten loops: five once, and then in every second row there are three loops, after which only two. Then knit without decreasing. The neck is knitted at a height of sixty-seven centimeters, forty-two loops in the center of the product. After knitting four more rows, close the loops on both sides and finish the back.

Men's knitted vest with knitting needles diagram with description

A simple but interesting option knitted vest, which is very easy and simple to knit. The vest has beautiful drawing, which is also quite easy to knit.

To knit this vest model you will need:

— 7 skeins of thread (in this version we used Gazal baby coton thread, 50 g);

- circular knitting needles % 3.5 by 180 cm.

This vest is knitted in the round. In this version, you do not need to knit the back and front parts separately, everything is knitted together in the round. There will be a pattern on the front side, on the back we will knit in stockinette stitch. Vest size 43-45.

Drawing diagram.

Only even rows (2, 4, 6, etc.) are not indicated in the diagram, since they are repeated. You should knit the first row as in the diagram, and repeat the second row according to the drawing, and so on. The pattern is very easy to knit. Where marked with dots, these are purl loops, where there are no dots, these are knit stitches.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. We put 296 loops on the knitting needles and close them into a circle.
2. We knit with a 2x2 elastic band (4 loops). We knit 4-5 cm.
3. We distribute the cast-on loops across the floors. The back part is 148 loops, the front part is 136 loops. Leave 6 loops on each side. Half of the loops will be the back, we knit the back - facial loops, the second half is the front part, we knit according to the pattern.
4. The width along the elastic will be 42 cm, where the pattern will be 53 cm. The girth will be 106 cm.
5. When we have knitted the elastic, we begin to knit the front part of the vest according to the pattern, and we also knit the back in a circle with facial loops.
6. The pattern report consists of seventeen loops. For beginners, it is recommended to wear a marker at the end of each report in order to make fewer errors and know when the report has ended.
7. We knit 38 centimeters like this. You may need to knit more in height, it all depends on your height. When 38 cm is knitted, it is best to take measurements.

Then we begin to decrease and form the armhole.

1. We set aside twenty loops that we will close for the armhole. For convenience, to know how many loops are closed and how many need to be closed, you can hang a marker. To do this, in the very first row on the front side we decrease five loops, after which we knit according to the pattern. When we knit to the end, turn the knitting over and close five more loops with reverse side. This is how we knit in reverse rows.
2. In the second row we close - 3 loops, in the third again - 3 loops, in all remaining rows we close one loop each.
3. We don’t touch anything on the back side, leave it alone for now and work only with the front part of the vest.
4. Once the armhole is ready, we begin to form the neckline. In this vest it is V-shaped. You can also use the neck option in a circle.
5. In this example, the neck height is 19-20 cm. 10 cm x 36 rows. We make up the proportion: 19 * 36 / 10 and get 68 rows. 68/20 and we get that in each row you should decrease 3 loops in every 8th row. We do the decrease with reverse-turning rows of 69 rows.
6. Starting from the 62nd row to the 69th row, we begin to decrease 8 loops.
7. On the 70th row we bind off the remaining loops.
8. When the neckline is ready, continue knitting the back part in stockinette stitch.
9. We place the working canvas on the left side. And we begin to form armholes according to the indicated pattern. The armhole is formed in the same way as on the front face.

1) -5	2) — 3	3) — 3	4) -2
5) — 2	6) -2	7) -1	8) — 1
9) -2	10) -2	11) -1	12) -1
13) -1	14) -1	15) -1	16) -1
17) -1	18) -2	19) -2	20) -2
21) -1	22) -1	23) -1	24) -1

1. We form an armhole from the left and right. Decrease occurs in 26 rows:
2. We start decreasing the neckline from the back. The decrease occurs in the same way as on the front of the vest. We knit straight up to the 60th row, make a cutout and continue to decrease until the 69th row. The shoulder should be at an angle.

We make such reductions in this way:

61) – 30; 62) From the wrong side - 8, after closed loops we close 3 loops; and in the next rows the loops are closed in the same order 63) – 8, – 3. 64) – 8, -3; 65) – 8, -1 66) – 8, -1; 67)- 8; – 1 68) – 10, 16; 9)- 10.

1. We process the shoulder seams and sew them together.
2. We process the armhole. We cast on the sleeves - 160 loops. There are 124 loops for the neck. And we knit with an elastic band 2 x 2. We do this with the sleeves and neckline. We knit 7 rows with an elastic band.
3. Close the loops, hide the ends and the product is ready!

Neck treatment in a men's knitted vest

V-shaped neck processing

Before forming the neck, you should initially select the desired height for the neck. This could be a deep V-shaped neckline or closing the neck loops in a circle. In such cases apply ready product to another thing, for example, to a T-shirt and measure from it at what distance the neckline will begin.

1. Initially, you need to finish the left side of the work. To do this, in every third row, the 2nd and 3rd loops should be knitted with pulling.
2. On the right side you should knit two last stitches together.
3. To form the strip, the edge is cast on and the loops for the binding also begin to be cast on the left side.

round neck processing

1. To knit a round neck, it is important that all its edges are smooth and round.
2. After the knitted parts have been processed, it is necessary to cast on the knitting needles the loops corresponding to the length of the neckline. You can cast on through one loop, not necessarily in a row (there will be no holes).
3. You should knit with an elastic band of 2 x 2 approximately 7 cm. The number of loops should be a multiple of 4.
4. After knitting, close the loops and hide the thread.

How to knit fashion vest and from what yarn - depends on the wishes and preferences of the man himself.

Knitted men's vest

In this knitted model a combination of two patterns is used: a diamond knitted with pearl knitting and an elastic band with 1x1 or 2x2 knitting needles. For such a knitted product, you can use woolen or half-woolen threads - they will make the item warm, or threads that contain synthetics - the item will not be very warm, but durable. It will not fray, stretch or shrink. When mating, it is also necessary to take into account the man’s height.

Depending depending on the thickness of the selected yarn, we choose knitting needles for work, and a vest pattern is made. If suddenly, while knitting a vest, you close off extra loops, then you can determine the error immediately, simply by attaching the product to the pattern. This is very convenient for beginner knitters.

To determine the number of stitches needed for the front and back of the vest, you simply need to knit a knitting pattern. In this case, it is a rhombus of knit and purl stitches.

Pearl pattern: in the front rows, 1 knit, 1 purl alternate. In purl stitches, knit stitches are knitted purlwise, and purl stitches are knitted with knit stitches.

You can use the pattern for the sample, or you can knit it step by step according to the description. You need to cast on 33 loops on the knitting needles - this is the repeat of the “Rhombus” pattern, plus 2 edge stitches:

1. row: facial loops;
2. row: purl loops;
3. row: knit 14, 5 pearl stitches knit 14;
4. row: purl 15, knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl 15;
5. row: knit 12, pearl pattern 9, knit 12;
6. row: purl 13, 7 pearl stitches, purl 13;
7. row: knit 10, pearl pattern 13, knit 10;
8. row: 11 purl, 11 pearl pattern loops, 11 purl;
9. row: knit 8, 17 pearl stitches, knit 8;

From 19 - the rhombus begins to decrease. Knit in reverse order.

Knitting starts with an elastic band, in which knit and purl loops are knitted alternately. This can be a 1x1 or 2x2 elastic band. Usually the height of the elastic is 6–7 cm. Next we move on to the main pattern, which is knitted very simply:

1. row: knit 3, purl 2;
2. row: all even - according to the picture.

This is how the back is knitted 48 cm, before the beginning of the armhole. The number of loops for bevels will depend on the density of the threads. When closing the loops for the armhole, periodically apply work to the pattern to prevent mistakes.

After 66 cm from the beginning of knitting, we close off all the remaining loops.

Number of loops the same as for the back. The elastic is knitted in the same way. After that, we begin knitting the main pattern. There will be a diamond in the middle of the front, and on both sides of it there will be the same knitting as on the back.

The armhole cutout is designed in the same way as on the back. Next, you need to decide on the neckline and knit it, applying the fabric to the pattern.

We sew the finished parts on the shoulders and sides. We tie the neckline and give the new thing to my husband.

If the description of the main pattern is not clear, use the diagram and look at the photo.

The pattern is so simple that the product will be made very quickly. First you need to knit a sample and use it to calculate the required number of loops for the front and back of the product.

Start the front and back you need an elastic band, the height of which can be up to 10 cm. After the elastic, the main pattern is knitted, adhering to all sizes according to the pattern.

This vest model cannot be called festive; it is most likely for everyday wear, under jeans.
