Q&A
What’s Raglan Increases?
Raglan increases are a knitting technique used to shape the yoke of a sweater. By adding stitches along diagonal lines from the neckline to the underarms, these increases create seam-like lines at four points where the body and sleeves meet. This results in a garment with sloped shoulders. Common methods for raglan increases include “make one” (M1) increases or yarn overs, spaced evenly around the yoke for symmetry and fit.
What should I do with Raglan Increases before the body part?
4 raglan sts according to the below: [keep beginning of round marker], count right back, [marker], 1 st, [marker], count right sleeve, [marker], 1st, [marker], count front, [marker], 1st, [marker], count left sleeve, [marker] 1st, [marker], count left back *you should reach the beginning marker after counting*
