A warm accessory that closes the neck in the cold - a cassock. It will not go out of fashion, but will be transformed by the name of varieties and ways of execution. On how to knit a cassock, there is not much information, a variation of the product each master sees in his own way.

It is an excellent alternative to scarves and kerchiefs. It covers the upper part of the body, so it is worn under outerwear with a deep neckline under the collar.

Choosing yarn and tools for knitting

Manishka - a warm product that consists of a double high collar and beautiful shoulder blades. Therefore, it is recommended to knit it with a "winter" yarn. Suitable all woolen and half-woolen options, including skeins with angora and goat down.

If you have to knit a cuff for a man, it is better to take a thicker coarse yarn, without fluff. For girls, do not choose mohair - the down from the product with a high collar is sticky on the lipstick and glitter.

For children's cassock fit any warm yarn with an addition of wool, but it should not be "not biting", and very soft and comfortable to wear.

Manishka knit by needle or crochet, depending on the model. Most of the explanations and descriptions of the calculations are suggested for the items by needlepoint.

How to calculate the right size stitches

To determine the number of loops you need to knit a pattern. To determine the number of loops for an adult shirt, you need to know the knitting density or the number of loops in 10 cm of work.

To do this, you need to tie a sample of the pattern, which will be carried out rubber band neck.

Having completed the sample on the same needles that will be in the work, count the number of loops in 10 cm. Then you need the volume of the neck plus 3-4 cm for the free fit, and from this measurement is calculated the number of loops.

Useful tip: Using the ready-made calculations, make adjustments to your model size in terms of knitting density.

The figure below shows the calculated number of loops on the shirt, which is knitted with an expansion on the raglan line:

29 (back) + 16 (raglan, left shoulder) + 29 (front) + 16 (raglan, right shoulder);

Dialed number of loops on a needle of medium thickness (#3 - 3.5) and knit a bouffant stitch about 13-15 cm.

This is the top of the shirt. Try transferring this part of the cassock on circular needles and sweep this part along the side seam - to try it on. If it turned out well, you can continue to knit the shoulder pad, expanding on the raglan type.

Patterns for knitting

Before you knit a cassock by crochet or scissors for women, choose a beautiful elastic pattern. It will be necessary to master and combine 2 patterns in the product:

• A fluffy elastic band for a high collar with a lapel;
• For the shoulder.

For reference! "Rubber band" is called any elastic band, where you alternate the front and back loops. They are also knitted with stitches, which are performed in a special way, which gives the handmade fabric a special opulence. The crossed elastic band springs from top to bottom.

Rubber bands are suitable for the collar of a sports shirt:

• 1x1 (front, back to end of row, back rows are as the stitches lie);
• 2x2 (alternate 2 obverse and 2 negative loops, the negative rows - similarly, over the obverse loops are knit obverse loops, the negative over the negative).

If you have to knit a cassock for women, it is better to perform its collar with any puffed stitch:

• pearl;
• English;
• French;
• Polish;
• Half-pattern knitting.

These variations use stitches and stitches without knitting, according to the description of the pattern.

The expanding part in women's and children's products is done in any beautiful pattern.

Useful tip: if you have skills in knitting with needles and crochet, you can use a combined technique - the top with a rubber band by needles, bottom - openwork by crochet. The product will only benefit from this.

Men's Manishka

Manishka is a unique product that replaces a snood or scarf-cap. For men it is knitted without openwork embellishments on the extension. The classic men's manishka looks more like the top of a sweater with a large warm collar.

Suitable any description of the work or a detailed scheme. The good news is that you don't have to do the sprouting (for a better fit on the back), which is a painful problem for the masters when doing raglan sleeves from the neck.

Beautiful execution of the raglan line - in itself a good decoration. So there is no need to choose a beautiful pattern for the front or for the design of the shoulder line.

If there is a desire to make your shirt more decorative, it can be supplemented with a small fringe on the edge or with a knitted flower, reminiscent of a brooch.

Manishka needlework for children

Cozy and warm shirt for a child - a simple product, which can be made from one skein of yarn or leftovers from a large product. They almost do not differ in the way of knitting, but there are nuances that are important to remember:

1. Children have short necks, they may not feel quite comfortable with a deep collar.
2. Babies don't like to wear things made of hot or "biting" yarn. It is worth taking the time to visit stores where yarn is offered in a large assortment - you can touch with your hands, so comfortable the skeins you like. This option is not available when buying through an online store.
3. Manishka for small children is often knitted with buttons - so it is more convenient to dress a restless baby before going outdoors.

For a boy

The product for a teenager or male child is usually knitted with a rather modest design.

Tip! One way to make a shirt for the boy literally in half an hour - neatly cut the top of unnecessary sweater with a raglan sleeve and voluminous collar. Next will have to remove the "extra" rows after the cut to make processing of the open loops with a hook or knitting needles.

The boy's model can also be knitted in stripes, using leftover yarn in contrasting colors.

Bust inserts under outerwear, tailcoats and suits first appeared in Europe for men. Later the men's shirt became an independent accessory.

It was transformed by lovers of needlework into a universal model, so it could be worn by men and women of any age.

For some reason, men and boys are rarely offered such an accessory, although some wear cassocks much more willingly than scarves. Today on the Internet you can choose any model with a description.
