Snood with knitting needles for a boy. Knitting patterns with step-by-step description with photos

A snood for a boy is the ideal product to learn to knit. It can be made using knitting needles and a hook. Options for simple and easy-to-create models with a step-by-step description of knitting are presented further in the article.

How to choose the right yarn and knitting needles for knitting snoods for boys?

Children's things, in addition to being beautiful and comfortable, must meet safety requirements.

Therefore, knitting threads should be selected taking into account the following characteristics:

• The composition of the material should not cause skin irritation. The yarn should not be chemically treated and should not be prickly.
• The dyes used must be natural, permanent and hypoallergenic.
• The fibers should help retain heat and remove excess moisture.
• Knitted items should not deform, shrink or fade.
• The yarn must have increased wear resistance and not pill.

All the above characteristics are collected in special lines of yarn for children. Manufacturers put the prefix "baby" on the labels indicating the composition of the yarn, its density, and the sizes of the recommended knitting tools.

Among the children's assortment you can find:

• pure wool sheep, merino, angora yarn;
• semi-woolen threads with the addition of artificial fibers, which give elasticity and wear resistance to finished products;
• natural cotton, linen, bamboo, viscose threads;
• synthetic yarn made of acrylic, polyester, nylon, polyamide, which is particularly soft and retains heat.

Color selection

Parents often choose for their sons, starting from senior preschool age, things in subdued colors. For newborns and toddlers in nursery groups, bright shades and their combinations are suitable.

Current colors for knitting scarves for boys:

• black, blue-black;
• graphite, gray, light gray;
• olive, khaki;
• dark and bright shades of red, green, blue.
• purple, eggplant;
• dark yellow and orange.

The chosen color of the snood should match the child's hat and outerwear. When knitting a set, the hat and scarf are often made in the same color and the same pattern.

Scarf size, yarn calculation

A snood is a knitted fabric closed in a ring. It can be worn in 1 or 2 turns. The size of the product is selected individually. To do this, you need to take measurements.

You can use a table with average sizes.

Age	Snood size in 1 turn	The size of a snood is 2 turns
3-5 years	width - 15 cm, length - 40 cm	width - 15 cm, length - 80 cm
5-7 years	width - 18 cm, length - 45 cm	width - 15 cm, length - 100 cm
7-10 years	width - 18 cm, length - 45-50 cm	width - 18 cm, length - 115 cm
10-12 years	width - 20 cm, length - 50 cm	width - 20 cm, length - 125 cm

To determine the length of the snood, you need to know the head circumference and the intended way of wearing. If it is important that the collar sits tightly, you need to measure the head circumference and subtract 2-5 cm. If you knit the product with an elastic pattern, the snood will not cause discomfort when putting it on over the head. It will sit tightly enough on the neck and protect from the wind.

If you want to wear a snood loosely in two rows, it is recommended to take individual measurements. You can do this with a measuring tape or another long scarf.

To pre-calculate the yarn consumption for knitting, you need to know:

• thread thickness:
• spoke diameter;
• knitting density and pattern.

To accurately calculate the amount of material needed, you can do this:

1. Knit a 5 x 5 cm sample using the intended yarn and the chosen pattern.
2. Unravel the piece, measure the length of the thread and divide it by 25. The resulting number will show how much thread is needed per 1 sq. cm.
3. Calculate the area of ​​the snood.
4. Multiply the length of thread that is spent on 1 sq. cm and multiply it by the area of ​​the snood.

The consumption of bulky yarns for loose knitting will be less than the consumption of tightly twisted yarn. The consumption of yarn also depends on the pattern. Openwork requires less material than dense relief knitting.

For knitting, you need to know one more parameter. This is the number of loops that you need to cast on to knit a product of a certain width. To do this, you will need to knit a 10 x 10 cm square from the prepared yarn. When knitting, you need to use the same knitting needles and pattern that will be used to make the main product.

From the resulting sample, you can find out how many loops are included in 1 cm in length and height. These figures allow you to calculate the required number of loops. To do this, the length (in cm) is multiplied by the number of loops from the sample.

For example, you need to knit a scarf 20 cm wide. In the knitted sample, there are 4 loops per 1 cm. To get the required number of loops, you need to multiply 20 by 4. Thus, for the scarf you need to dial 80 loops.

Master class on knitting with straight and circular needles. Rice pattern

A snood for a boy can be knitted with straight or circular needles. However, the same pattern will be knitted differently. Only front rows are knitted on circular needles, and front and back rows are knitted on straight needles.

You can imagine how the sequence of rows changes using the example of knitting the "rice" pattern. The pattern rapport consists of 2 loops.

Circular knitting pattern diagram:

1. In the 1st row the pattern consists of 1 front and 1 back loop.
2. Row 2 repeats the pattern and also consists of 1 front and 1 back loop.
3. In the 3rd row, a purl stitch is knitted over the front stitch, and a front stitch is knitted over the back stitch.
4. Row 4 will repeat the pattern of the previous row.

To knit the rice pattern on straight knitting needles, you need:

1. In the 1st row, knit a pattern of 1 front and 1 back loop.
2. In the 2nd purl row, knit a purl stitch over the front stitch, and a front stitch over the back stitch.
3. In the 3rd front row, knit all the stitches according to the pattern. Knit the front stitch as a front stitch, and the back stitch as a back stitch.
4. In the 4th row, change the sequence and knit the front stitch with the back stitch, and the back stitch with the front stitch.

The "rice" pattern is very easy to make and is suitable for beginners. The snood pattern looks like a rectangle. When knitting, the first edge loop is simply removed, and the last one is knitted with a purl loop.

To knit a snood for a boy on straight knitting needles, you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches. To make a piece using the rice pattern, you need to cast on an even number of stitches.
2. Knit the fabric following the pattern diagram.
3. Knit as many rows as necessary to get the desired length. To avoid mistakes, you can draw a rectangular piece on paper and apply the scarf to the drawing as you knit.
4. Close the loops and fasten the thread.
5. Using a needle and thread or a crochet hook, sew the edges of the scarf together to form a ring.

When using circular knitting needles, the scarf is knitted in the longitudinal direction. This means that when casting on stitches, you need to calculate their number based on the length of the product.

To knit a snood on circular needles you will need:

1. Cast on the required number of even stitches 2.
2. Knit with a rice pattern according to the diagram for circular knitting needles, the number of rows equal to the width of the product.
3. Close the last row. When closing, you need to pull the loops a little so that the edge is elastic.
4. Cut the thread and hide it with a hook between the walls of adjacent loops.

Beautiful models of snoods for a boy. Patterns, step-by-step description of knitting

A snood with knitting needles for a boy can be knitted using different patterns. Their patterns and knitting sequence are described below in the master classes.

Scarf with elastic at the edges for babies

A scarf with elastic at the edges resembles a sweater collar. It is convenient to wear under a jacket. Due to the elastic border made of elastic, the scarf fits the neck and keeps warm. For ease of dressing, you can make a model with buttons or snaps.

When knitting a one-piece collar, you need to measure the child's head and from the resulting value make a deduction for the fit from 3 to 5 cm.

The work uses threads with a density of 100 g per 160 m and knitting needles No. 5 and 5.5 mm. The base of the scarf is made with any dense pattern. Beginners are better off choosing patterns that consist of alternating front and back loops or simple cables on the back surface.

To knit a scarf for a baby, you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches using circular knitting needles No. 5.
2. Knit 3 cm with a 1 x 1 elastic band.
3. Switch to knitting needles No. 5.5 and knit with the main pattern for 9 cm.
4. Change the knitting needles again to thinner ones and make a 3 cm elastic band.
5. Close the loops, cut the thread and hide the end.
6. Sew the edges of the collar.

Knitting a snood with a rice pattern on circular needles

The rice pattern can be used for the entire fabric of the product, or you can decorate the edges of the collar with a border of elastic or garter stitch. For knitting in 1 turn, you will need 1 skein of yarn with a density of 50 m per 50 g.

Knitting a snood should be done in the following sequence:

1. For a collar that can be worn over a hood, you need to cast on 65 loops, and for a model for a jacket - 45 loops.
2. Knit the required number of rows using the main pattern. If you want to get a double collar or a snood with draping, you should knit the product of the required width.
3. In the last row, close the loops and hide the end of the thread.

If you want to decorate the scarf with a border, you need to subtract 3-5 cm from the total width of the product on each side and make them with a 1 by 1 elastic pattern.

Model with cord for a snug fit

This scarf resembles a sports accessory, the top of which is pulled together with a drawstring.

For the main pattern, you can use a waffle ornament. It is knitted on the basis of a 2 by 2 elastic band with transverse interceptions with a thread. The drawstring for the lace consists of a front surface. The lace itself can be crocheted, knitted, or use a ready-made store-bought version.

Pattern repeat diagram for 16 stitches:

1. The first 4 rows should be knitted with a 2 by 2 elastic pattern. The row should be started with purl stitches.
2. In the 5th row, you need to make a grab. To do this, knit the following sequence: make 2 purl loops, count the next 6 loops, insert the knitting needle from the front side and pick up the thread. Keeping the resulting loop on the knitting needle, knit the first of the 6 loops as a front loop and throw the jumper over it so that it encircles these 6 loops.
3. Next you need to knit 1 front, 2 back, 2 front, 2 back and repeat the pattern with the jumper.
4. After 4 rows, you need to make jumpers again, but arrange them in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the previous ones.

To knit a snood tube you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches and knit with the basic pattern for 20 cm. For a head circumference of 52 cm, using 100 g yarn for 175 m, you will need to cast on 96 stitches and 1 stitch to close the circle.
2. Proceed to knitting the drawstring. To do this, take smaller diameter knitting needles and knit 5 cm with the front surface. Close the loops.
3. Fold the drawstring piece in half and sew the free edge to the snood fabric from the wrong side.
4. Thread a cord through the drawstring.

Scarf with small pattern

It is better to choose smooth yarn for work. When knitting with such threads, the patterns look clear and textured. Thick natural or semi-woolen yarn is suitable for winter, and thinner threads are suitable for autumn.

To knit a scarf, you need to choose a suitable pattern and knitting needles of a suitable diameter. For optimal knitting density, choose knitting needles with a diameter 1 mm larger than the diameter of the thread.

To knit a snood scarf for a 5-year-old boy, you will need to make a sample and count the number of loops needed. The size of the fabric for the snood is 42 cm long and 19 cm wide. If you take yarn with a density of 100 g per 400 m and knit in 2 threads with knitting needles No. 3, you will need to dial 40 loops.

You don't need a pattern to knit a scarf. You just need to knit a rectangular piece using the chosen pattern. At the end of knitting, the loops should be closed and the ends of the collar should be connected with a hook.

English elastic band clamp for school age boys

English elastic is a textured and voluminous knitting. In this style, you can make a set with a hat. The elastic pattern is very simple, so knitting will not take much time.
