Invisible Raglan Increase

The invisible raglan increase is perfect for seamless top-down sweaters. The raglan stitch is flanked by mirrored increase stitches and the raglan seam has no holes. Whether the sweater is worked in stockinette for another stitch pattern, the seam will be virtually invisible and the patterns will match perfectly.

"What wonderful, clear English! As a schoolgirl, I listened to songs sung by Cliff Richards, and I understood every word. I will watch your channel not only to learn knitting, but also to practice English. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" When you see this comment in the KZfaq-app, there's text underneath that says" Translate to English" (or whatever language you have your KZfaq-app set to). When you tap it, it uses Google Translate to translate the message, and when you tap it again you can see the message in the original language. I copied the translation it gave me.

Many years ago, Barbara G. Walker wrote a book called "Knitting from the Top." In it, she gave directions for a number of raglan increases, many of them decorative. I think this method of yours is one of them. In any case, if anyone wants to learn other raglan increases, this book is a good resource.

@CornbreadOracle 3 ай бұрын

Yes. I think she called it “Increase number 4”. Or rather it became known as that because it was unnamed but 4th in a series of increases she detailed. It’s a fantastic raglan increase.

Wow! thank you so much !! I’m using this technique on a jumper I’m knitting now! It’s so much easier the M1R or M1L. I have one cheeky question how do you work this on the wrong side for the German short row increases at the top of the jumper. I’m not sure I’m doing it right 😊 x

@jamescoxknits 4 ай бұрын

If I understand you correctly, You're working a top-down sweater with 4 raglan seams. Whether the sweater is a crewneck or a cardigan, the short rows are shaping the front neck drop. The double increases are done on the right side rows, then you work back on the wrong side. You have to use the invisible raglan increase on every other row, because you are knitting into the stitch below the raglan seam stitch. The wrong side row provides the stitch below. If you want to create increases on the wrong side you do the same as the right side, but you are purling each of the 3 stitches: increase, raglan through the back, increase.

@hazelbrowne7982 4 ай бұрын

@@jamescoxknits oh ok thank you so much. So I just purl right through the last marker do the German short row and then make the increase on the right as I am coming back! Yes thank you I think that would work. Perfectly explained I very much appreciate it 😍😍.

@user-kb6xn6ig7k 4 ай бұрын

I have been trying to find this technique ! Would you clarify also how the marker is placed: is it placed before the center "seam" of the raglan ?

@jamescoxknits 4 ай бұрын

When you cast on place marker on your needle before and after each raglan seam stitch. Then when you're ready to start the invisible increases, you simply follow the video: increase, slip marker, knit through the back, slip marker, increase. Have fun.

@grainneocruhuir6383 4 ай бұрын

Can I ask do you increase every row or every other row like regular raglan increase?

@jamescoxknits 4 ай бұрын

Excellent question. You need to work a row between each IRI (invisible raglan increase) stitch. Because you're knitting into the stitch below to create the increases, and you can't knit into the raglan increases. Have fun with this stitch - I have loved it for over 15 years. Cheers, James
