Nicely done Bronislava! These are the clearest directions I've encountered for Raglan sweaters online and in books. I love that you are teaching concepts, instead of just particular patterns.

Thank you. The calculations were difficult to figure out between the example you had started with and your personal calculations. I am knitting my second Raglan sweater and want a better fit, so this should be (fairly) easy to calculate out as I am using an Aran weight yarn, so 7 sts per inch, 6 sts per row. I had been trying to figure out how to calculate for my larger bust, and now I know how to!

I've ripped it out 6 separate times because all 6 of those patterns don't tell me how to measure to make sure I'm making the right size. Now I can just make my own pattern! Seventh time is the charm? :)

Knit a raglan sweater from the bottom up and when you get to the sleeves -where the sleeves meet the body to attach together- count the number of stitches you have left in the sleeves and front and back, then knit Raglan all the way to the neck , count again, the front, back and sleeve ends and that is how you start your top down. Thanks for this amazing video.

👏👏👏👏Wonderful tutorial. I like to ask you how to calculate or how to figure it out how many motifs go around the botom in this case?

@HandMadeRukodelky 2 жыл бұрын

Depends how many stitches you will add along the raglan... it should be a multiple of the particular pattern you will be using... this video I diid a long time ago, so I don't remember (no time to check that out 😕) - but hope this info will help you 🌹🍀

@cathymcdermid2616 Жыл бұрын

A very nice and detailed explanation which helps me a lot. I am odd shaped so I am trying to make my own calculations and this helps a lot. However, I cannot find any instructions on how many stitches to add (or not to add) to the underarm when separating the sleeves from the body. A pattern will automatically give you a number, but when you are using your own wool with that gauge, how will I know how to calculate that amount? Any input from you will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

@ashrafaaseyedbagher8949 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the clear and helpful instructions. I have been searching for days. I knitted a top down raglan cardigan with 30% of the front stitches for the sleeves and I ended up with a horrible wide sleeve. I'm going to try with your suggestion.

Hi, is this video can be also applied if I am going to crochet a raglan sweater? I am interested in the mathematical part of how to calculate and how it can also be done when making a crochet sweater. I only know crocheting. Do you have any ideas or way for me to know and apply this technique so I can create/crochet a raglan sweater. Thank you in advance.

How would calculate it if you want to have a v-neck ? Thanks

Great Q, Yoly - what I would do is: I'd cast on edge sts for V-neck (your choice how many you want) + sts for sleeve #1 + sts for back + sts for sleeve #2 + edge sts for V-neck on the other side. I would keep my 8 raglan increases in 4 places + increases for the V-neck on each side (total 6 places of increases = 10 increases). V neck I would increase every row, raglan places every other row - hope this helps 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Hi Ginette - If your video doesn't generate automatic captions, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons: The captions aren't available yet due to processing complex audio in the video. Automatic captions don't support the language in the video. The video is too long. The video has poor sound quality or KZfaq doesn't recognize the speech. There’s a long period of silence at the beginning of the video. There are multiple speakers whose speech overlaps.
