A sleeveless vest for a boy is knitted with knitting needles for those occasions when it is difficult to predict the weather. For example, it is worn for summer evening walks, taken with you on a picnic, or used in cool rooms. The beauty of this clothing is that it warms perfectly, but does not restrict the child’s movements. He can play, draw and do whatever he wants.

However, a vest is not a sweater, so you should not knit it from very warm yarn. Yarn consisting of 100% wool is not best option. Such a product will be impractical: the body will be hot and the hands will be cold.

It is best to knit a sleeveless vest for a boy using yarn that contains about 50% wool, and the rest is cotton or bamboo. You can also use wool with acrylic, but synthetic fibers may cause increased sweating.

A simple vest for beginner knitters

The photo at the beginning of the article shows a sleeveless vest for a boy. It’s very easy to make such a product with knitting needles: the pattern repeat consists of four loops and four rows.

This pattern makes it easy to cut stitches to create an armhole and neckline. And the diagram is shown in the figure with a pattern.

To find out the knitting density, you should make a control sample and calculate the number of loops (width) and rows (height) per 10 cm of fabric.

The data obtained will allow you to work with the pattern, since you will know how many loops (P) you need to cast on first, how many rows (P) to knit in height and when to decrease.

Getting started: front part

Let's get started:

  • First of all, you should cast on the knitting needles the pre-calculated amount of P.
  • Then 7-10 R are knitted in garter stitch, which provides only knit stitches (KL) in all rows and does not allow the fabric to curl.
  • Next, you should turn to the diagram and perform the first P of the pattern: remove the edge, perform an LP, then an IP (purl loop). This sequence must be repeated until the end of R.
  • The second (purl) P is performed according to the pattern: if there is an LP on the knitting needle, it is knitted with an LP, if it is an IP, then, accordingly, an IP is performed. At this stage, the pattern resembles knitting an elastic band 1:1.
  • Third R: all P are knitted with LP.
  • Fourth R: all P perform IP.

Armholes and neckline

When a sleeveless vest for a boy is knitted to the armhole line, it’s time to move on to shortening P:

  1. First you need to close several Ps on each side of the part to form protrusions of two centimeters.
  2. Next you need to knit, following the pattern pattern, but in each knit P you need to cut two loops 3-4 times: one at the beginning and one at the end. Decrease occurs when two Ps are knitted together. The end result will be an armhole of the same shape as indicated on the pattern.
  3. Then you should knit evenly, without shortening, until the front part reaches the desired length minus five centimeters (neck depth).
  4. Next, in the center of the fabric, immediately close or transfer to a knitting pin the amount of P that corresponds to the width of the neck minus four centimeters.

Further work is carried out separately with the right and left shoulders:

  • Right shoulder - to form a rounded neckline, make bevels and cut four times, one P on the right in each front R. The left edge of the fabric remains smooth.
  • The left shoulder is knitted similarly, but the cuts are made in a mirror order.

The loops of the finished part are transferred to a thick thread or knitting needle.

Back detail, product assembly

The second part of the work - the back - is knitted similarly to the first. The only difference is the smaller neck. Its depth should be not 5, but 3 centimeters. This means that after forming the armholes, the part should be knitted to a height that is two centimeters greater than the similar section of the front part. Next, the loops are closed and the bevels are formed.

To assemble, the open loops on the shoulders of the product are matched and sewn together with a knitted seam. Side seams are also performed using a needle. Along the neckline circular knitting needles pick up loops and tie with a scarf pattern.

The armholes are tied using the same method. If the craftswoman has crocheting skills, she can apply them to the armholes.

The finished product is steamed with an iron or washed in warm water.

Sleeveless vest for a boy with knitting needles: braid knitting pattern

The photo below shows a vest with a braid pattern. This product is knitted in almost the same way as the one described above, but the pattern itself is much more complex.

It is suitable for knitters with some experience, as it is easy to get confused when weaving braids.

The picture shows the pattern of the front and back parts.

The pattern consists of a central wide braid and side narrow braids. Such a sleeveless vest for a boy is knitted with knitting needles as a real decoration for a child's spring wardrobe and can become a source of well-deserved pride for the craftswoman.

For a mother, a son is always pride, her support in the future, hope, and very often you want to pamper your child with something very unusual and interesting, for example, knitting him a sleeveless vest or something else like that. A children's sleeveless vest for a boy will be knitted very quickly, since there is no need to come up with very intricate motifs, because this is a boy. For them, it is often enough that a car or something like that is drawn. But don’t think that you can get by with just one machine. You can come up with quite a lot of different and interesting variations on how to decorate such a vest or sleeveless vest. So let's make a sleeveless vest together using knitting needles for a little boy!

We knit a red sleeveless vest for a boy using knitting needles with patterns

This vest is suitable for a boy from 1 to 1.5 years old.

For knitting you need: 100 g of red and 30 g of blue-green yarn, knitting needles 3.5 and 4 numbers.

Pattern: 1x1 rib, purl stitch. A fantasy pattern is also used, which needs to be embroidered according to pattern 1, and the neckline according to pattern 2.

Knitting density: 10x10 cm = 22 loops in 28 rows.

Back.
Using blue-green thread on knitting needles No. 3.5, you need to cast on 66 loops and knit with a 1x1 elastic band. Continue knitting with needles No. 4 with red thread, dividing the loops in this way: knit 13 loops in purl stitch, 8 loops in the first pattern, 8 loops in purl stitch, 8 loops in the first pattern, 8 loops in purl stitch, 8 loops in the first pattern, 13 loops purl stitch. When the height of the fabric is 21 cm for the armhole, you need to close three loops on both sides in every second row, twice with two loops and twice with one, for a total of 48 loops. At a fabric height of 33 cm, it is necessary to close 11 loops on each shoulder, and for the neck - 26 loops.
Before.

Knitted similarly to the back. When the fabric is 21 cm high, you need to close the armholes on both sides in every second row with 5 loops, 3 loops and one loop. For a V-shaped neckline, divide the number of loops by half and knit two parts separately, decreasing according to the second pattern. At a fabric height of 33 cm, bind off 11 loops on each shoulder.

Assembly.

Make a seam on only one shoulder, along the edge of the neckline on knitting needles number 3.5, pick up all the loops with blue-green thread and knit with a 1x1 elastic band, knit on both sides of the central front loop in each front row, two loops together with a purl, and in each purl row of two together with the front one. After knitting 5 rows, bind off absolutely all the loops. Make a seam on the second shoulder and a seam on the neck tape. Along the edges of the armholes, use blue-green thread with knitting needles number 3.5, cast on loops, knit 5 rows with a 1x1 elastic band and bind off the loops. Make side seams. In the center of the diamonds, use blue-green thread to make embroidery, which is missing. Rinse and dry the finished sleeveless vest.

The second version of the blouse with a detailed description of the work

The vest size will be for ages 2-3 years.

Before.
knit in the same way as the back to the neckline. At a height of 4 cm from the beginning of the armhole, you need to divide the loops into two parts of 21 loops, knit each of them separately and in each front row begin to decrease one loop 11 times. After knitting 10 cm, you need to close all the shoulder loops.
Assembly.

It is necessary to make seams on the shoulders and sides. Tie the armholes and bottom with two rows of single crochets, and the neck with one row of single crochets. Decorate the sleeveless vest with embroidery made of brown thread using a loop-to-loop stitch.

We create an interesting model with a jacquard pattern with our own hands

Sleeveless vests for babies, knitted in this way, are suitable for children up to one year old.

Front stitch: knit according to side - face facial loops, and purl stitches respectively.
Pattern: knit 4 numbers with knitting needles, strictly in stockinette stitch according to the pattern. Knit each colored stripe with a separate ball. When you need to change the color, you need to carefully pull the thread that you are not currently knitting to the back of the work. All threads must have the same tension. Repeat the pattern from the 1st to the 26th row.

Fabric density: 21 loops x 29 rows = 10x10 cm

Back.
Using blue thread, cast on 58 (66) 74 stitches, knit 2 cm with an elastic band, and in the last row add 3 stitches at equal intervals. Then start knitting jacquard pattern between the edge loops, start near the arrows with the signatures E (D) F. At a height of 17 (20) 23 cm from the elastic band, close the cutouts for the arms on both sides once with 3 loops, in, and every second row once with 2 loops and once one loop at a time. At a height of 27 (32) 37 cm, close the loops again from the elastic band to cut the neckline in the middle with 19 (23) 27 loops, finishing the two sides separately. At this time, in every second row from the edge of the cutout, bind off 3 loops once and 2 loops once. When the canvas is 29 (34) 39 cm high, you need to close all the loops.
Before.
Knitted similarly to the back, only with V-neck. To make it, you need to close only the middle loop at a height of 19 (22.5) 26 cm from the elastic, then knit the two parts separately, closing one loop in every second row from the inner edge 14 (16) 18.
