More and more often, girls and women are choosing a neat shirtfront instead of a voluminous, heavy scarf. This accessory is designed to most effectively protect its owner from frost and cold wind. The specific design resembles the high neck of a warm sweater. Due to the fact that a crocheted shirtfront for women can be completely different) worn under a coat, fur coat or jacket, it is extremely comfortable to wear.

How can you knit a shirtfront?

Knitting and crochet. The choice of tool depends on the preferences and skills of the craftswoman. It should be noted that crocheted fabrics are always a little denser and stiffer. But this is only a plus for such a product as a crochet shirtfront for women. Knitting patterns can be completely different: from classic single crochets to openwork patterns. The appearance of shirtfronts knitted in different ways is very different.

There are two most popular models:

Rectangle with clasp.
Dickey with neckline and shoulder.

The simplest shirtfront

The picture shows very thick and warm for women.

No knitting pattern is required here, since only single crochets are used. A special feature of this model is its simple cut: the mini scarf has the shape of a rectangle with loops on one side and buttons on the other.

The diagram illustrates the correct placement of these elements.

A thick half-wool thread 200 m/100 grams was used for the work. To prevent the shirt-front from causing irritation on the skin, the material must be very soft, that is, not “bite”.

Sequence of knitting a shirt front

Below is how to crochet such a neckline:

Cast on a chain of 55-60 air loops (VP).
Knit the first row with single crochets (SC).
Perform the second row of sc, placing the hook under the far “braid” of the column of the previous row. When using this technique, a raised scar is formed along the entire row.
1 VP, 1 RLS, 2 VP, skip two loops into the third, perform RLS, knit RLS to the end of the row. This is how buttonholes are formed.
Repeat third row.
Repeat the second row three times.
Repeat third row.
Repeat the second row twice.
Cut the thread and tuck in the tail. Sew buttons.

If desired, the finished shirtfront can be tied with one row of sc or “crawfish step”.

Dickey with harness

The shirt-front shown in the photo below is knitted using the same method, but with a different pattern.

Here, a rectangle was first knitted with the main pattern, then an openwork binding was made. The buttonholes are formed during the binding process. Since the thread used is much thinner, the product turned out more elegant.

Shirts knitted with openwork patterns look interesting. The following can be given as an example.

The pattern with “pineapples” also looks beautiful and is easy to knit.

Knitting a shirtfront with a shoulder

This is quite difficult to make, but also the warmest crochet shirt for women.

Knitting patterns for an openwork border can be any of the craftswoman’s choice. The photo below offers a good option.

The tight neckline consists of 12 single crochets and is made in a transverse manner. The technique of alternating rows was used:

12 double crochets.
7 single crochets, 2 half double crochets, 3 double crochets.

Rapport is one repetition of the first row and three repetitions of the second. When the neck is ready, a tie is made along its lower edge. The height of the neckline should be at least 15 cm. In some cases, in accordance with individual sizes, it may be necessary to knit fabric 18-20 cm wide. The openwork binding plays a decorative role, so it can be made of any size.

The listed methods describe how to crochet a shirtfront for any weather from different materials.

A shirt front is a necessary element of everyday wardrobe, especially for children. If a child plays outside in late autumn and early spring, when the air temperature is very low, he needs warm protection to avoid getting sick. This is especially true for girls. And in this case, the shirtfront is much superior to the usual scarf. The scarf is knitted in layers and gets in the way for the child. In addition, a crochet shirtfront for girls is very easy to knit.

A product such as a shirtfront can be knitted using knitting needles and a hook. In practice, most patterns are knitted using knitting needles. This situation has arisen due to the fact that a shirtfront knitted with knitting needles with an elastic band will stretch much better and then take its original shape. But this does not mean that needlewomen who know how to knit only with a crochet hook will freeze on the street. On the Internet there are quite a lot of crochet shirtfront patterns for girls, boys, men and women. The main thing here is to choose the right product model, quality, colors and thread manufacturer.

Such products can be divided into the following types:

warm;
crochet openwork shirtfront;
knitted in a circle;
using buttons.

Bibs are more comfortable when they have buttons. A product knitted in the round is very difficult to put on, as it is knitted tightly to keep it warm. This is especially true for children. They, as a rule, do not like to put clothes over their heads and are always capricious about this. A shirtfront with buttons is easy to put on, and will keep you warm just as well as a one-piece product.

You should also not forget about the correct choice of threads for the product. They should be soft. If the wool content exceeds 50%, then such material should not be used. But even if you buy it, you need to be absolutely sure of its quality, that such threads will not prick. Often this is imported material.

It is better to knit a product for children, and especially for girls, from acrylic or wool blend materials.

Preparatory stage

First you need to measure the circumference of the girl’s head and add one centimeter to this figure. For example, a child is one year old and his head circumference is 47 centimeters. We get the number 48. There is no need to take any more measurements.

It is also necessary to prepare materials and tools:

Yarn. Here the needlewoman can choose which one to use, but for a child it is better to buy high-quality and expensive threads.
Hook No. 4.
Hook No. 2.5.
Tape measure.

As an example, we can consider a shirtfront consisting of two parts: the neckline and the openwork part. The use of elastic is mandatory in many knitted items. Therefore, the upper part should be knitted with a pattern: crocheted elastic band, stitches, 1 through 1 with double crochets. This pattern is used in many knitted items, such as sweaters, because it allows the neck to stretch and then return to its original position.

The openwork part will be knitted with double crochets. There are only a few crochet techniques and techniques, alternating which allows you to create a variety of patterns.

Step-by-step instruction

The shirt-front in question for a girl is ideal for beginning needlewomen, as its pattern is very simple.

Experienced craftswomen can knit such a model in just an hour and a half. A master class on knitting a shirt front and its description can be found on specialized resources and forums.

It is suitable for both girls and adults.

Step-by-step instruction:

Elastic pattern “one to one”

You need to start by lifting, making three loops, then you need to throw the thread on the hook, making a double crochet stitch. Next, you need to insert the hook under the front wall with two yarn overs from the previous pass, close the thread and pull through. There should be three loops on the hook. The first two are tightened, and the remaining two will serve as the front column of the future shirt-front. After this, you need to knit a purl row. This is done in exactly the same way as the front one, but from the wrong side.

The openwork part will consist of two double crochets. All other columns will be made with air loops.

Crochet shirt front pattern for children.

A shirt front is a necessary item of everyday clothing, especially for children. For active children's games in the fresh air, the child must be well protected from the cold, but in this case a scarf is inferior to a shirtfront. The scarf is tied or wrapped in layers, causing inconvenience for your child, and the shirtfront is conveniently located on the body and does not slip off the child’s neck. Today I want to invite you to knit a shirtfront, the pattern of which is very popular. But your item will still be unique, since each needlewoman adds a twist to the knitted item, decorating it to her own taste.

Our shirtfront will be knitted from two types of patterns: the neckline and the openwork part of the shirtfront. We will knit the neck of our shirt-front using the ribbed crochet one-to-one double crochet pattern. Elastic is the main element in many knitted products. Everyone knows that you can knit an elastic band with knitting needles, but few people know the crochet elastic band pattern. This pattern allows the knitted fabric to stretch well, which is very important when knitting sweaters, necklines and much more. Fabric crocheted with a one-to-one ribbed double crochet pattern not only stretches well, but also shrinks well.

Openwork part of the shirtfront will be knitted from double crochets and air loops. In crochet, there are only a few simple elements, which, when alternating, produce a huge variety of patterns.

We will need:

yarn "Alize sekerim" (90% Polyacryl / 10% Polyamide) 350m/100g
hook No. 4 and No. 2.5
tape measure

Preparing for work:

We measure the circumference of your child’s head and add it to 1 cm. As always, to make it easier for you, I will do all the calculations using my own example. My child is one year old and his head circumference = 48 cm + 1 cm = 49 cm.

We don't need anything else to prepare.

Progress:

Using crochet number 4, we make a chain with a thread of yarn "Alize sekerim" from air loops equal to your mathematical calculation (child's head circumference + 1cm), for me it is 49cm. We crochet with a large diameter so that the edge of the shirt front is not pulled together. This will also allow us to cast on fewer stitches, and the neck of the shirtfront will fit the child’s neck more tightly. Do not stretch the chain of chain loops when you measure it with a measuring tape.
First row: We knit double crochets in a circle.
Second, third, fourth rows: We knit with an elastic band one to one. Everyone knows about elastic knitted for a product, but crocheted elastic is rarely found in knitted models and few people know about it.

“One to one crochet elastic band pattern”:

At the beginning of the row we make three lifting air loops, then we begin to throw the thread on the hook, intending to knit a double crochet stitch. Next, we place the head of the hook under the front wall of the double crochet stitch from the previous row, grab the thread, and pull it through. Three loops have formed on the hook, we knit the first two and then the two remaining loops on the hook - this is the front column of our future elastic band. Now we knit a purl stitch with two crochets: we also throw the thread on the hook twice, place the hook head behind the back wall of the stitch with two crochets from the previous row, grab the thread, pull it through and again we have three loops on the hook, of which we knit two first the first, then the remaining two. Now we continue our row, alternating knit and purl stitches with double crochets. We continue to knit such rows until the neck of the shirtfront is 5 cm. I got three rows with an elastic band.

One-to-one elastic pattern for shirt neck

Now let's start knitting ь extended part of the shirtfront with an openwork pattern.

“Lacy pattern for shirt front”:

The openwork part of the shirtfront will be knitted from double crochets, chain stitches and two double crochets. In crochet, there are only a few simple elements, which, when alternating, produce a huge variety of patterns.

Fifth row: We make three lifting air loops and we will knit into those loops that form the purl loops of the elastic band, that is, into relief columns behind the back wall. That is, we knit through a loop, make two double crochets, then one chain loop and two double crochets. Then we knit one double crochet through one loop. And now we repeat two double crochets - an air loop - two double crochets - a double crochet, thus knitting to the end of the row. Then the rows are repeated.

Knit four rows according to the pattern, only in the place where we knit one double crochet, we increase the number of double crochets by one in each row, that is, there will be two of them in the fifth row, and three in the sixth.

Eighth row: This row will be different from the previous rows. We transfer our thread under the chain loop and pull it through, cast on three chain loops, here we knit 2 double crochets and make a chain loop, again three double crochets. Then we knit double crochets into the loops of the previous row, where double crochets were knitted, that is, there are three of them, as in the previous one. Then again three double crochets in the chain stitch of the previous row, a chain loop and again three double crochets in the same chain loop of the previous row. Thus, we knit to the end of the row. You can knit this part longer by adding one double crochet at a time in the repeat. We do it this way, we knit three double crochets, a chain stitch, three double crochets, double crochets, adding one for each of your new rows.

Ninth row: final openwork row. It consists of two parts. First part: we make three lifting air loops, one additional air loop. Now, under the chain loop of the previous row, we knit a double crochet - chain loop - double crochet - chain loop - double crochet. We knit seven double crochets, alternating them with an air loop. Next come three double crochets from the previous row, in this row we knit three double crochets in the place where the double crochets from the previous row go. Then again under the chain loop of the previous row we knit seven double crochets, alternating them with the chain loop, and so on until the end of the row.

Where in the previous row there were seven double crochets, alternating with an air loop, we cast on three air loops under the first air loop and make a single crochet into the second air loop of the previous row. Then again three air loops and a single crochet in the next air loop. And where we had three double crochets in a row in the previous row, we knit single crochets in their place in this row. We repeat everything until the end of the row.

Now we cut the thread, fasten the ends of the cut threads so that they do not spoil the appearance of the shirtfront and do not stick out. The bib for your child is ready!

Little fashionistas are very picky about clothes. In addition, dressing up a baby is quite difficult due to the fact that children are intolerant of discomfort. A girl's clothes should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable. During the cold season, the question arises of how to protect your child from windy weather if the child refuses to cover his neck with a scarf. A warm shirtfront will come to the rescue. This item is most convenient in a knitted version. A crocheted shirtfront for a girl is made quite quickly. And there are a lot of options to add a feminine touch to the product.

A shirt front not only serves as a practical item during the cold season. In an openwork design, it can be a complete accessory to an autumn coat.

In winter, it is advisable to use dense knitting for the shirtfront in order to increase its practical properties.

For this you do not have to sacrifice the beauty of the product. It is quite possible to combine two significant qualities together.

To do this with the least effort, we offer a description of one of the options for making a fashionable and warm thing for a girl.

A practical accessory

To make the shirt front, light gray yarn was chosen. Depending on the color scheme of the autumn or winter set of clothes, the item can be made from yarn of the desired color.

To work you will need:

soft yarn;
several hooks of different sizes (1.5; 2; 2.5).

Before starting work, you should measure the child's head. The size of the proposed product in the collar is 50-52 cm.

Using the smallest hook, a chain of 130 loops is knitted, after which it closes in a circle.

After a single chain stitch, a series of double crochets is performed.

The next line begins with a trio of air loops. The thread is thrown on, the hook is inserted under the column of the previous row and catches the thread, pulling out the loop.

The loops are knitted. In this way, a front relief column is created.

After the next yarn over, the hook passes from the wrong side of the work through the post and pulls out the loop.

The loops on the hook are brought together into one. The result is a reverse relief column. Alternate knitting of front and back embossed stitches continues throughout the entire line.

This is how the elastic band of the product is formed.

The elastic band is knitted 15 rows wide.

Next, you need to cast on three air loops and knit a line with double crochets, expanding it with 15 loops. The next part of the work includes drawing. To perform it correctly, a diagram of further knitting is attached.

The pattern uses hooks of different thicknesses. The first three rows of the pattern are made with the crochet hook that was used to knit the neck of the shirtfront. The next three lines are made with a larger hook.

In this case, single double crochets and double crochets alternate in a single loop. After five stitches, a fan is made, where four double crochets are knitted into one loop.

The next four loops alternate between single and double stitches. Then 2 single columns are made. The work returns to alternately knitting double and single stitches into one loop. After four loops comes a fan.

The pattern continues as follows:

The size of the hook increases again, and the next three rows of the product are produced, shown schematically. This technique should be used until the desired length of the shirtfront is achieved. The most comfortable version of the product to wear is with a length slightly below the shoulder, so that the child does not feel constrained.

If you want to make an openwork version, then the lower part of the product can be replaced. To do this, you should select the appropriate scheme.

The shirt front looks interesting when, instead of circular knitting, knitting is done with linen, and the front part of the product is connected with buttons.

In this case, the product is made in two parts, where the elastic is knitted separately, and for the shoulder part, your favorite crocheted lace pattern is selected. This type of shirtfront can be worn over a coat.

Before deciding on the method of making the product, it is recommended to take into account the child’s individual preferences in wearing clothes.

Since children's clothes should create comfort, when creating a shirtfront, you should take into account the girl's age. Preschool children do not always skillfully handle buttons; putting on a product can be difficult.

Whereas girls of primary school age do not like to spoil their hair, and a one-piece shirt-front worn over the head will be an unwanted gift for a little fashionista.
