This sweater is flat-out gorgeous. Which yarn did you choose? (Edited to add: found the answer in the show notes!) The Italian cast on method of yours is working amazingly well for the tops of my cuff-down lace socks. Around 8:00 you are demonstrating the increases when moving from stockinette to ribbing, did you have to determine first whether the stitch count in the body was divisible by 3 to know you would have the right stitch count to allow for the KFB evenly throughout? (Did you have to do an increase or decrease anywhere before reaching the end of the stockinette or had you planned the stitch count at the outset of knitting the sweater?)

@@irinarevo Irina, you are so gratifyingly swift to answer - I had edited my comment and will repeat it here in case you could answer this part of it, too: Around 8:00 you are demonstrating the increases when moving from stockinette to ribbing, did you have to determine first whether the stitch count in the body was divisible by 3 to know you would have the right stitch count to allow for the KFB evenly throughout?

It does not have to be planned. I compare the ribbed swatch with the stockinette to see how many stitches I need to add. If it matches perfectly - great, but if not, then I will do 1 more or 1 less kfb increase to get to the closest to desired # of the rib stitches. The important part is that kfb is done in the odd numbered stitches (i.e. every 3d, 5th, 7th or so; or it can be alternating in every 5th and every 7th for example - to get the knit/purl sequence).

@@irinarevo So helpful! It was completely clear from the outset in how you explained that the kfb needs to be done on an odd numbered stitch to make sure the purl to follow in subsequent ribbing aligns with it, but I did not know for sure where in the garment the stitch count needed adjusting or if it had to be planned from the very beginning. You are a gifted knitter and a gifted teacher. I feel so fortunate to be your student and my garments tell that truth!

Thank you so much, Andrea! I am so glad the videos help! BTW the only time when I think planning ahead might be necessary is when there is some specific stitch pattern that would have to "flow" into the rib columns.

Hi Irina! I hope you don’t mind me asking another question about my top down raglan….I will be picking up stitches along the neckline, I have swatched various ribbings and decided to use a twisted rib using a needle several sizes smaller so I will need to increase my stitch count by approximately 50% ( I will need to increase 1 every other stitch). Should I use kfb every other stitch on my pick up row? Thanks , Hannah
@hannahsida7515 9 ай бұрын
I should add that my pattern is a 2 x 1 rib eg K1 P2 so I’m not sure how that works with the increases
@irinarevo 9 ай бұрын
Hi Hanna! If you are picking up the stitches from the neckline (did you bind it off? Or do you have open stitches? If the neck opening is not bound-off it will stretch.) you can use any increase method that blends the best with your ribbing stitch pattern (2x1 in your case). If you choose kfb, then plan and distribute the increases so that they will be purl stitches in the next round. I actually did this for my bouclé sweater, I have a video about it: "Non-gathering neat 2x2 rib wth a matching raglan line. Top Down Bouclé Sweater knitting details." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8WBq5xhpq-WqWg.html

Morning Irina, how kind of you to answer straight away 😊 I want to echo what everyone else says on here - you are a wonderful teacher and you seem to talk about knitting details no one else does, why is that?! I love your non gathering rib - my aim is to be able to knit top down raglan’s in stockinette in whatever yarn I like,maybe adding in colour work or interesting stitches at some point, but I don’t want to have gathering rib and have found it tricky working out what else to do! So, with my current project, the neckline is a long tail cast on, and I am knitting down from there, but i have decided to knit the neckline before the jumper is finished.
@hannahsida7515 9 ай бұрын
I have watched most of your videos and I have observed you start your raglans with the neck, whereas most raglans traditionally pick up and knit the neckline afterwards. I think Barbara Walker suggests that the neck is more likely to stretch because the weight of the jumper is hanging from the neck stitches , which is why I haven’t knitted that way, but I will try knitting your way next time
@irinarevo 9 ай бұрын
I think, I already answered this in another comment 😀, but just in case, it is always necessary to reinforce the neck opening, otherwise it will inevitably stretch. In my experience a provisional cast on, later replaced by a chain bind-off, is the best way. In my experience, again, the long-tail cast on does not give flexibility to adjust the neck circumference if you made it too big or too small. And it still can stretch. While with the provisional cast-on you can unravel a round or add 1-2 rounds with a smaller needle, to make the opening bigger or smaller. This applies not only to raglan but to a round yoke or any other construction. In the other videos where I knit from the turtleneck down, I emphasize that I make a reinforced transition from the rib to the body, so that the neck opening will not stretch later. And actually I do the very chain bind-off, but at the end of the turtleneck vs at the beginning of the body. So the idea is the same. :)

Did you have the neck stitches on a provisional cast on?

Hi Hannah! No provisional stitches for the neck for this sweater. It's a continuous method - I show it in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prxmgpab3NDFmKs.html
