Jacket knitted with raglan on top of the model with diagrams. Raglan knitting from above with a sprout

Hand-knitted product, made without seams, looks very neat and pretty. Raglan is knitting of clothes with a continuous seamless fabric for the upper body. Not every knitter decides to take on this particular method of knitting a sweater or sweater, citing the fact that knitting a stylish raglan with knitting needles is a difficult task. But actually it is not.

If you correctly calculate the loops and follow certain knitting rules, then there should be no problems and difficulties during knitting. This article is dedicated to all those beginner needlewomen who want to learn how to knit a simple but fashionable raglan from the neck (top) on their own and learn how to do it correctly and quickly. As a nice addition, at the end of the master class, we attach a free video tutorial.

Raglan line and patterns for knitting it

Before you start knitting, you need to understand: what is a raglan line (hereinafter LR)? These are loops on which yarns are made on both sides so that the knitted fabric expands. The raglan line can consist of one loop. The photo shows a canvas, the LR of which consists of 1 purl loop.

And in the next photo you can see a line of three facial loops. Here, pay attention to the fact that the yarns of the upper part of the fabric are knitted from the wrong side with a simple wrong side loop, so holes are obtained along the line. The nakida on the bottom of the fabric are knitted from the wrong side with purl crossed loops, so the holes are almost invisible.

LR can be performed in a variety of patterns. Look at the photo below - the LR is made of 4 loops with a flagellum pattern.

It is advisable for beginners to start with a simple option - LR from one purl loop. In this case, it will be easier to calculate the loops and navigate in knitting.

If you are just learning to knit, try knitting - a great way to learn a new technique and make a warm gift for your loved ones.

We try to knit in the direction from the neck: calculation of loops

In order to knit raglan with knitting needles from above, the first thing to do is to measure the circumference of the neck, since knitting occurs in the direction from top to bottom. The second is to knit a 10x10 cm pattern sample and count the number of loops in it. Based on the number of loops needed to make the neckline and the number of loops per 10 cm of the pattern sample, the following calculations are made.

For example, the circumference of the neck is 18 cm. There are 2.5 loops in 1 cm of the pattern. By multiplying these numbers, you get the total number of loops: 18 X 2.5 = 45.

Now you need to calculate how many loops will be used to knit the back, sleeves and front. To do this, divide the total number of loops by 3. It turns out 45: 3 \u003d 15. This means that 15 loops go to the back, 15 loops to the front, and another 15 loops to the sleeves. Part of the loops intended for the sleeves must be divided into 2 - for each sleeve. Next, from the loops of the sleeve, calculate 4 loops for the raglan line, divide the remainder into two sleeves (15-4 = 11). In our case, 11 by 2 cannot be divided without a remainder, so we leave 10 loops for the sleeve, and give one to the front loops. As a result, we get: 15 p. - back, 5 p. - sleeve, 16 p. - before, 4 p. for raglan lines.

Rule for calculating loops: divide the total number of loops into 3 parts, then the part for the sleeves by another 2, add all the rest to the front loops, always take raglan loops from the loops of the sleeves.

The loops are calculated, now you need to correctly type them on the knitting needles. Important! The sequence is this and only this: 1 loop for the right side of the front, 1 loop for the raglan line, 5 loops for the right sleeve, 1 loop of the raglan line, 15 loops for the back, 1 loop of the raglan line, 5 loops of the left sleeve, 1 loop of the raglan line, 1 loop of the left side of the front.

It is worth paying attention to the knitting of the neck with knitting needles -. We are sure that if you read this material, you will never again have difficulties with strapping.

Step-by-step master class on knitting a children's pullover using the raglan method

After you have calculated the loops and typed them on the knitting needles, start knitting as follows:

Raglan and regular sleeves

1 - 9 row. 1 air loop (the photo below will show how to perform this loop), 1 person. loop of the right shelf, 1 nak., 5 persons. sleeves, 1 na., 1 out. raglan lines, 1 stitch, 15 persons. backs, 1 on., 1 out. raglan lines, 1 stitch, 5 persons. sleeves, 1 na., 1 out. raglan lines, 1 stitch .. 1 person. left shelf and 1 air. P.

2 row and all out. air p. - purl loops, nakida - out. crossed.

11 row. Get on both sides 2 air. n. and close the work in a circle. The loops on the front of the product should be 1 more than on the back.

Continue knitting until you have loops for the sleeves. When the required number of loops for the sleeves is dialed, remove them on the auxiliary thread and leave them out of work. Gather back and front sts in a circle and continue knitting them in rounds (no more yarn overs). When the product reaches the desired length, transfer the work to the knitting needles with a smaller number, and work several rows of elastic. Close the loops, cut the thread.

Go back to knitting sleeves. Tie a thread and transfer the loops to 4 knitting needles. Mark the beginning of knitting with a stitch marker or a pin. Work raglan in the round, dec to form the bevel of the sleeve where the marker is in every 6th row as follows: 2 sts together, 2 sts together in broach. Thus, knit until the sleeve is the length you need. Rib the last few rows. Close the loops.

Knit the second sleeve in the same way. Now let's move on to the neck.

On the neck line, dial 1 loop from each loop and knit an elastic band of the desired size. Close the loops.

The children's raglan pullover is finished.

Knitting technique from below for beginners with a job description

Raglan can also be knitted from the bottom up. But in this case, first all the details are knitted separately to the place where the armhole begins. That is, they tied the back to the armholes and put off knitting without closing the loop, then they also tied it in front and put it off. Do the same for the sleeves. When all 4 parts are knitted to armholes, type them on circular needles in the following sequence: front, sleeve, back, sleeve.

Next, knit in circular rows if it is a sweater or in rows in the back and forth direction if it is a sweater with shelves. Loops along the raglan line are reduced evenly at the beginning of the row after the finishing strip and at the end of the row - before it. When the product is connected, sew the side lines and sleeves.

Raglan sleeve with detailed analysis of each step

The raglan sleeve is very practical, as it allows the arm to move freely without constraining or restricting movement.

When making a raglan sleeve, it is important to properly tie the raglan bevels. Read the detailed explanation in the master class by clicking on the highlighted text.

Detailed description for beginners

Knitting in this case is done from the bottom up in separate parts.

When the knitting of the sleeve reaches the desired height (to the armhole), to form the armhole, you need to close 1 time 3-4 loops. The subsequent rows are knitted with decreases on each side, 1 st in each 2nd row, knitting 1 or 2 extreme loops. Decrease until you have completed all the decreases calculated at the beginning of knitting.

On the sleeves, at the height of the armhole, the number of loops should be equal to the sum of the loops decreased for the raglan bevels on the back, plus on the front, plus 6 or 8 loops for the shoulder line.
Decrease at the beginning of the row is performed as follows: on the right, after the first 2 or 3 loops of the row, tie 2 loops together with a tilt to the left.
Decrease at the end of the row is performed as follows: on the left, before the 2nd or 3rd last loops of the row, knit 2 loops together with the front ones.

Children's raglan sweater for a little girl 3-4 years old

Seamless knitted clothing is the best fit for children, as the seams do not rub or press on sensitive delicate skin. Therefore, the raglan knitting method helps us a lot in creating knitted things for kids.

This summer raglan blouse for a girl will be very good. If you want such a knitted blouse for a boy, then change the pattern and select the desired thread color. And the style of the sweater will suit both girls and boys.

This model of blouse is suitable for a child of 3-4 years old.

Materials: yarn - 100% cotton, knitting needles No. 3.

"Ropes" - garter stitch: all loops are knitted in the front and in the front rows, and in the back rows.

Step-by-step master class with visual diagrams

Cast on 92 sts and work 2 cm in rib 2x2. Then distribute all the loops as follows: 11 loops - half of the back, 22 loops - sleeve, 22 loops - front, 22 loops - the second sleeve and 11 loops - the second half of the back. The remaining 4 loops are connecting. They are intended to form raglan lines, on both sides of which yarns are made: 8 loops in each person. row. After distributing the loops, knit 11 knit., 1 yarn, 1 knit, 1 yarn, 22 knit, 1 yarn, 1 knit, 1 yarn, 22 knit, 1 yarn, 1 knit, 1 yarn, 22 knit, 1 yarn, 1 knit, 1 yarn, 11 knit From the wrong side, knit all the loops, including the crochets, from the wrong side. loops. Thus, knit a total of 7 rows in stocking stitch, making additions in each face. a row of 8 loops.

Further, when knitting a strip of a sweater pattern, alternate in the following sequence: 1 row - persons. loops on the wrong side, 3 rows - stocking knitting, 1 row - persons. loops on the wrong side, 3 rows - hosiery knitting, 6 rows of the “rope” pattern, that is, faces. loops on the face and the wrong side of the work (2 rows knitted with faces. loops are considered as 1 row of the “rope” pattern), 4 rows of stocking knitting.

Flower strip (knit according to the pattern): 4 rows - stocking stitch, 6 rows - rope pattern: 3 rows - stocking stitch; 1 row - persons. loops on the wrong side; 3 rows - stocking; 1 row of people. loops on the wrong side.

Knit all parts of the blouse with raglan until the length reaches 12 cm.

Then continue to knit all the details separately. To do this, the loops of the sleeves and halves of the back must be removed with pins or additional threads. Work just before 12 cm in stocking st down and finish with 4 cm in 2x2 ribbing. Then transfer the loops of both halves of the back to the knitting needle, connect them and knit in the same way as before, 12 cm down and finish with 4 cm of 2x2 elastic. Next, transfer the sleeve loops to the knitting needles and knit down 2-3 cm in stocking or garter stitch and finish with an elastic band 2x2 2 cm.

Fold the finished product in half and sew in front with a back along the side height. Then, without tearing off the thread, sew the sleeves. On the right side of the back section, crochet 5 loops for buttons. Sew 5 buttons on the left side of the back slit. Moisturize and steam the product.

You can also decorate the finished jacket with beautiful knitted flowers.

Educational video lesson

Here is the promised tutorial video.

Products knitted using the raglan technique look neat and beautiful. Devote a few evenings to knitting any product using this technique, and you will understand that it is not difficult, but very interesting and exciting.

raglan shoulder strap, knitting from the neck (from top to bottom)

In one of the knitting communities, I saw a post about a children's sweater knitted in this way. The lady has been knitting like this for a long time, so for her it is a matter of course, but for me it is not. I have long mastered raglan from above. In SM there are several excellent MKs on this score, and in terms of raglan chase, the search returns only posts where this method is applied and how it is still unclear (((

I decided to figure it out ... it turned out a little chaotic, but suddenly useful not only to me

Let's start with the pattern...

Shoulder strap - this is what lies on the shoulder and is knitted not separately, but with the entire product from the neck.
We collect loops for the neck as needed. We divide into the back and shelves (in front) and between them shoulder straps of the width you need. On both sides of each shoulder strap, we make increases in each row. It turns out not four lines of raglan, as usual, but two - on the shoulders. Thus, we knit to the required shoulder length. Then we knit parts of the back and shelves without adding loops. And we add loops on both sides inside the shoulder strap, which now becomes a sleeve. We add a third of the height of the sleeve head in each row, the next third of the height, one loop in two rows, another third, we add one loop both from the side of the sleeve, and on the shelves and back.
Having knitted the required depth of the armhole, we divide the knitting: we collect the loops of the sleeves on the auxiliary thread. And we knit the shelves and the back further as with a regular raglan from above. We'll work on the sleeves later.
It is necessary to divide the height of the eye of the proposed sleeve into three parts.

Original message I_-_MASTERITSA

Seamless knitting is experiencing a rebirth today. Indeed, he has a lot of advantages, and even on products not from any yarn, the seams will look beautiful and neat.
One of the options for seamless knitting of cardigans and jumpers is raglan. Novice craftswomen try to avoid it, as they are afraid of complex calculations. There is no single and correct formula for raglan.
Firstly, each master has his own secrets in the calculations, to which he came by trial and error. Secondly, it is always necessary to take into account the features of the figure.
This publication contains three master classes on calculating and knitting raglan and four beautiful models of pullovers and cardigans.

MODELS WITH RAGLAN..

★☆★☆★←❤→★☆★☆★

Before making calculations for raglan (however, as for everything else), it is necessary to tie a control sample to determine the density of knitting. Important! To avoid errors, do not be too lazy to tie a sample with a size of at least 15cm x 15cm. After that, we determine how many loops fall on 1 cm. To do this, we count the number of loops in 10 cm. Suppose there are 30 loops per 10 cm. Then 1cm = 3p.

We measure the girth of the neck = 36 cm.

These loops must be distributed to the sleeves, front, back and raglan lines.

Let the raglan line consist of 1p. Because there are four raglan lines, then 4 * 1p. \u003d 4p. set aside for raglans. 108 sts left - 4 sts = 104 sts. We divide these loops into 8 parts: 104p.: 8 \u003d 13p. We take one part on the sleeves (13p.) And three parts - on the front and back (13p. * 3 = 39p.). For myself, I mark all the calculations on the diagram, it turns out more clearly and understandably.

Important! If a pattern is used in knitting, its rapport must be taken into account when distributing loops. To keep the beautiful addition of the pattern pattern along the ragged lines, you can slightly change the calculation of the loops in detail, while maintaining their original number.

So that in the finished product there is no crease in the front of the neck and the product does not pull back, it is necessary to make calculations for the neck

RAGLAN CALCULATION FOR KNITTING THE NECK with elongated rows
So that a crease does not gather in the front of the neck in the finished product and the product does not pull back, it is necessary to knit the neck in elongated rows, i.e. include all the loops in the work gradually, following the corrected raglan calculations. This is what will be discussed now.

A bit of theory. The neck line consists of the following parts: back, front and upper part of the sleeves. The neck of the back is a straight line. The upper part of the sleeve is a curved line. It is divided into 3-4 parts. The neck of the front is a curved line. In the middle of the front neckline, a horizontal part is left = 4 cm (for an adult). Each part from the middle is divided into 3 equal parts. If there is a remainder, then it is added to the 1st part, counting from the middle of the front. Further, the loops of each part are divided into groups: the 1st part - into triples, the 2nd part - into twos, the 3rd part - into ones.

The knitting of the neck begins from the back with two rear ragged lines and gradually the loops of the sleeves and the front are included in the work. By the time all loops are included in the work, their number on the back and front should be the same. It should be remembered that while only the back and sleeves are knitted, loops are added in the ragged lines of the back, and the number of loops remains the same in the ragged lines of the front. To avoid this difference, it is necessary to recalculate the loops: add the number of loops to the front loops = the number of parts into which the sleeve line is divided, and subtract the number of loops from the back loops = the number of parts into which the sleeve line is divided. From a practical point of view, the number of parts into which the line of the sleeve is divided is the number of receptions for which all the loops of the sleeve will be included in the work.

Now let's move on to correcting the calculations.

The initial calculations were as follows: 13 loops on the sleeves and 39 loops on the back and front. We divide the loops of the sleeves into 3 parts: 13:3 \u003d 4 and the remainder is 1 loop, so the layout of the loops per sleeve is 5, 4 and 4 loops. Then for the back you get 39 loops - 3 loops = 36 loops, for the front 39 loops + 3 loops = 42 loops. The middle of the neck before 4 cm * 3 loops = 12 loops. The remaining number of loops 42p-12p = 30p divided by half, it turns out 15 loops for each half of the front neck. We divide 15 loops into 3 groups: 15: 3 \u003d 5p in each group. Further, following the theoretical calculations and slightly adjusting the breakdown into groups, we get the following combination of loops: 3p 3p 2p 2p 2p 1p 1p 1p. All changes will be reflected in the scheme for raglan.

HOW TO KNIT THE NECK
All calculations and adjustments are made, now you can proceed directly to knitting. It is convenient to start knitting with short circular knitting needles, if there are none available, they can be easily replaced by stocking knitting needles (they are also called knitting needles for knitting socks, 5 pieces are included in the kit). Later, when the number of loops in knitting increases so that they do not have enough space on the stocking needles, it is necessary to switch to circular knitting needles with a long fishing line. Ideally, it is good to use knitting needles with adjustable fishing line, but I have not yet come across such. We will also need marker rings to mark the raglan stitches and the beginning of knitting. If you don’t have them, you can do this: make a few rings out of contrasting yarn and use them for marks.

So. Cast on 108 sts on stocking needles. In order to make it easier to understand the principle of knitting raglan, we will knit with the front stitch. I remind you that we will knit in a circle, so we close the knitting in a circle and knit one row of facial ones. Why do this, you ask? This technique will fix the knitting needles better and they will not hang out and twist so much. Personally, my attitude to knitting with stocking needles spoils precisely this initial moment. And after 3-4 connected rows, the fabric rigidly fixes the knitting needles and knitting becomes a song. It’s just worth a little patience, and then it will go on knurled. Therefore, if you are just learning to knit, I advise you to knit this zero row, let's call it that. Then we knit, following the principles of partial knitting in elongated rows.

1st row. We put a ring on the knitting needle, this marks the beginning of knitting. We knit: 5 persons.p. left sleeve, yarn over, put a ring (thus we mark the raglan line), 1 person.p. raglan, yarn, 36 persons.p. backs, yarn, put a ring, 1 person.p. raglan, yarn, 5 persons.p. right sleeve. We unfold knitting.

2nd row. We knit: 5 out.p. right sleeve, we knit a crochet purl, 1 purl. raglan, yarn over. out.p., 36 out.p. backs, yarn over. out.p., 1 out.p. raglan, yarn over. out.p., 5 out.p. left sleeve. We unfold knitting.

3rd row. We knit: 6 persons.p. left sleeve, yarn, 1 person.p. raglan, yarn, 38 persons.p. backs, yarn, 1 person.p. raglan, yarn, 6 persons.p. right sleeve + we include 4 more persons in the work. right sleeve. We unfold knitting.

4th row. We knit: 10 out.p. right sleeve, we knit a crochet purl, 1 purl. raglan, yarn over. out.p., 38 out.p. backs, yarn over. out.p., 1 out.p. raglan, yarn over. out.p., 6 out.p. left sleeve + we include 4 more outs in the work. left sleeve. We unfold knitting.

5th row. We knit: 11 persons.p. left sleeve, yarn, 1 person.p. raglan, yarn, 40 persons.p. backs, yarn, 1 person.p. raglan, yarn, 11 persons.p. right sleeve + we include 4 more persons in the work. right sleeve. We unfold knitting.

6th row. We knit: 15 out.p. right sleeve, we knit a crochet purl, 1 purl. raglan, yarn over. out.p., 40 out.p. backs, yarn over. out.p., 1 out.p. raglan, yarn over. out.p., 11 out.p. left sleeve + we include 4 more outs in the work. left sleeve.

At this stage, all the loops of the sleeves are included in the work. Then we turn on the loops of the ragged lines of the front and the loops of the front neck according to the same principle. When all the loops are included in knitting, we knit in a circle and continue to knit in a circle, adding loops along the ragged lines in every second row to the desired size of the fabric.

Part 1. Taking measurements
To perform the calculations, we need 12 measurements. You need to measure in well-fitting clothes, girdling around the waist with a slightly stretched tape. The drawing and description of the implementation will help you do this without difficulty.
1. Neck circumference (OS) - measured at the base of the neck, the centimeter tape should pass through the jugular fossa and the seventh cervical vertebra.
2. Chest girth (OG) - measured by the most protruding parts of the chest and shoulder blades
3. Waist circumference (OT) - the centimeter tape runs strictly horizontally along the natural waistline.
4. Girth of the hips at the level of the length of the product (OBdi) - measured horizontally at the level of the length of the product.
* it is most convenient to put on a thing that is suitable in length and measure
5. Circumference of the upper arm (ORm) - measured horizontally along the widest part of the arm.
6. Wrist girth (OZ) - measured horizontally at the junction of the forearm and hand.
7. The length of the raglan front line (DRLp) is a diagonal measure from the middle of the collarbone to the armpit.
* hold a pencil under your arm and measure
** I deliberately do not use the "bust height" measure, which is usually used to determine the length of the raglan line, since for ladies with small breasts this option can still be relevant in uncut options, while owners of curvaceous forms will get a very deflated armhole at the end

8. The length of the product to the waistline (CI to LT) is a vertical measure, measured along the body from the armpit to the waistline.
9. The length of the product from the waist line (CI from LT) - a vertical measurement from the waist line to the estimated length of the product.
10. Product length (CI) - a vertical measurement, measured along the back from the seventh cervical vertebra to the horizontal line of the product length, taking into account the deflection at the waist line.
* if you knit a thing without fitting, then 8 and 9 measurements are not needed

11. Sleeve length on the inside of the arm (DR) - a vertical measurement from the armpit to the hand.
12. Germ height (VR) - measured vertically from the seventh cervical vertebra to the jugular fossa.
* Incorrect measurement name by definition, since a sprout is a cutout for the neck from the middle of the back at the top to the shoulder sections. In our case, this is the knitting of the missing fabric from the side of the back, sleeves and partially front to form a rounded neckline.
* the easiest way to measure on a T-shirt "under the throat" see photo
* the more stooped the figure, the greater this measurement.

Scheme of taking measurements

In my case, the height of the sprout will be about 6 centimeters.

Part 2. Calculation.

1. We knit a sample, process and measure the density of knitting.

2. We translate centimeters of measurements into loops and rows.

3. Calculation of loops to get started. I use the following measures:

OSH = 90 loops
OG = 184 loops
ORvch \u003d 60 loops
BP = 20 rows
DRLp = 56 rows

Loop distribution scheme.

The width of the raglan line is 2 loops.
90 loops - 8 loops (raglan lines) = 82 loops
82 sts: 6 parts = 13 sts + 4 sts left
1 part for sleeves - 13 loops, 2 parts and ½ remainder for front and back - 26 loops + 2 loops = 28 loops

We round the loops of the sleeves to a well crushed number, in this case up to 12 loops.
We add 1 loop to the front and back. Total: front and back 29 loops each.

Now you need to calculate the part of the sprout knitted to the front raglan lines in parts, the number of which will be equal to the number of loops that must be subtracted from the back and added to the front.
For this, it was necessary to round the number of loops of the sleeve to a normally crushed one.
12 stitches: 3 stitches = 4 pieces
* part = the number of loops transferred from back to front = ½ rows of partial knitting, performed before the ragged lines of the front

Those. subtract 4 loops from the loops of the back and add them to the loops of the front.
Back: 29sts - 4sts = 25sts
Before: 29 loops + 4 loops = 33 loops
The difference between the front and the back is 8 stitches, which we will increase in raglan lines from the back side, knitting 8 rows of partial knitting (in 3 loop steps) to the raglan front lines.
* of course, we also make raglan increases in the sleeves, but these loops are not of interest to us yet

Thus, in the 8th row, the number of front and back loops will even out - 33 loops.

Based on the fact that the total height of the germ is 20 rows, 8 rows have already been knitted, there are 12 rows of partial knitting with a step of 3 loops.

The length of the raglan front line is 56 rows. We subtract 12 rows already knitted with partial knitting, and we get that 44 more rows need to be knitted.

The following diagram will help to visualize the ratio of the number of added loops to the length of the ragged lines. We add every second row 8 loops (two loops in each raglan line)

Before: raglan line length 56 rows

33 sts (initial) + 28 sts (raglan line increase) + 28st (raglan line increase) \u003d 89 loops

Back: raglan line length 20 p + 44 p = 64 rows

25 p(initial) + 32p(increase) + 32p(increase) = 89 loops

There are 8 loops of raglan lines left, which can be safely added to the body loops.

Total: in front and back there will be 93 loops, which means that we go to the exhaust gas measurement with an error of 2 loops.

Sleeves, as you can see, with an allowance for freedom.

* If the estimated length of the raglan line does not allow making the required number of increments to achieve the measurement of the exhaust gas, then we add the missing loops with undercuts, not forgetting that the undercut is about 8% of the measurement of the exhaust gas.
* If we get more than the OG, the number of loops, then we recalculate the step of the increments of the raglan line (not every 2nd row, but for example every 3rd)

The most difficult part of the calculations is over.

4. Calculation of decreases and increases in the body and decreases in the sleeve.

In expanded form, the structure looks something like this.

Now we need measurements:

From the measurements of DR (sleeve length) and CI from lt (Product length from the waist line), we immediately subtract the elastic bands, in my case it is 20 rows 2 * 2 and 4 rows of hollow.

OG = 186 loops (fact)
FROM \u003d 150 loops
OBDI = 178 stitches
oz = 36 loops
CI up to lt = 80 rows
CI from lt = 40 rows
DR = 133 rows

Sleeve reductions:
72p - 36p = 36p (need to cut in 133 rows)
36 p: 2p = 18 times (you need to cut two loops in the line of decreases)
18+ 1= 19 equal intervals (because we will not start to decrease immediately under the armpit)
133 rows: 19 times = 7 rows
The bevel of the sleeve is formed by 18 decreases of 2 loops in every 7th row.

Hull reductions:
At a height of about 10 cm, a straight section goes from the junction of the ragged lines / undercut.
In this case, 26 rows.

* if necessary, at a height of about 3 cm, you can tie a tuck, then continue the straight section of the body

80 rows (CI to LT) - 26 rows (straight section) \u003d 54 rows (decrease line length)
186 p (OG) - 150p (OT) \u003d 36 loops (you need to reduce 2 p in two lines of decreases)
36p: 4= 9 times
54 rows: 9 times = 6 rows
The bevel of the body to the waistline is formed by 9 decreases in each 6th row, 2 loops in two lines of decreases. The first decrease is done in the first row after the straight section of the body, the last - on the waist line.

Hull additions:
178 loops (obdi) - 150p (OT) = 28 loops (you need to add in 40 rows (CI from lt) 2 p in 2 lines of increases)
28p: 4= 7 times
7 +1 = 8 equal spaces
40 rows: 8 pieces = 5 rows
The bevel of the body from the waist line is formed by 7 increments in each 5th row, 2 loops in two increment lines. The last increase in the last, before the elastic, row.

All. The general work plan is outlined, you can start knitting.

Part 3. Beginning of knitting.
1. In any convenient way that provides an elastic edge, we collect 90 loops.

2. Auxiliary row of facial.

3. We unite in a circle. The second auxiliary row is facial.

4. We mark the future raglan lines (pink threads) and the central front loop. This can be done with markers, thread, safety pins. What is convenient for you.

The beginning of vyvyazyvaniye sprout.

The sprout will be knitted by partial knitting. The general principle and how to make sure that there are no holes can be seen in the video. If this technique is new to you, then do not be lazy, try it on a sample.

5. The first row is the front. The beginning of knitting is the right raglan line of the back.
We knit a raglan line, make a crochet, knit two loops, remove the third with a twist.

6. We turn knitting to the wrong side. Second row. We remove the loop with a loop, we knit two, we knit a crochet, two loops of a raglan line. We raise the second increase of the raglan line from the broach.

We knit two loops, remove the third with a twist

7. The third row is front. We tighten the wrap around the first loop.

We remove the loop, knit 2, yarn over, 2 loops of the raglan line, yarn over, back loops, yarn over, knit 2, we lift the loop to the loop and knit with it.

2 facial, 3rd we remove with a twist.

8. The fourth is purl, the fifth is the front, the sixth is the purl, we knit in the same way, knitting 3 loops of the sleeves.

9. The seventh is the front. The last front row to the raglan front line.

10. The eighth row is purl. We knit the last 3 loops to the raglan front line.
At this stage, the number of loops in front and back is aligned.
It looks like this.

12. Tenth - purl. We raise the raglan increments from the broaches.

And we knit three loops of the front.

13. Thus, we knit to the eighteenth row, the last row of purl.

We do not remove the last loop in this row with a twist, but simply knit it.

14. Nineteenth row. The first row of circular knitting facial. In fact, this is one and a half rows, for aligning circular knitting.
Yarn over, slip off the first stitch.

We knit the first raglan line (left raglan front line) without crochets, sleeve loops, yarn over, raglan line (left raglan line of the back - it is also the beginning of knitting), yarn, back, yarn, raglan line, yarn, sleeve, yarn, raglan line, nakid, front loops, knit nakid with together with the loop in front of it

Remaining front loops, yarn over, raglan line, yarn over, sleeve loops.
That. having knitted one and a half rows, we came to a logical starting point for the beginning of circular knitting.

15. Twentieth row. Full circular knitting, we knit all the crochets.
It looks like this when finished. The beginning of knitting is the left raglan line of the back.

Part 4. Knitting the body with and without undercuts. Sleeves.

Undercut option.

1. We reset the loops of the sleeves (without loops of ragged lines) onto the thread.

2. In any way convenient for you, we collect undercut loops. In my case, a set of air loops.

3. We close in a circle.

4. We knit about 5-7 rows (up to the height of the tuck, if necessary)

5. We transfer the loops of the sleeve from the thread to the knitting needles

6. We collect loops from raglan lines (2 each) and from undercut loops.

7. We knit the loops typed from the raglan lines, two together. We outline the middle of the line of decreases.

8. Upon reaching the estimated length, we perform reductions in the bevel of the sleeve.

Uncut option.

1. We drop the loops of the sleeves on the thread. And we combine the front and back in circular knitting without additional loops. We knit a straight section of the body.

2. In order not to have holes in the armpit, you need to dial three additional loops from the loops of the body sheet.
The needle only shows from which, we collect the thread.

3. We knit ...

4. We perform reductions in the bevel line of the sleeve.
Two together front behind the front wall.

We unfold the loop.

Two together front behind the back wall.

5. Similarly, we perform the second sleeve.

6.Sleeve.
Tied up the reductions to the calculated numbers. We knit an elastic band so that the cuffs are not too tight.
We start with a line of decreases - two facial ones. We knit one purl, we knit the second crossed from a broach, * two facial, purl, purl from a broach *, etc.

Part 5. Neck. Frame.

1. Neck.
We transfer the loops to the knitting needle. Weave two additional rows. We knit with the same increments as in the elastic bands of the sleeves.

Because knitting in the opposite direction gives a difference of half a loop, then in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe ragged lines I knitted three front ones so that the shift looked symmetrical.

2. Finishing the body.
We knit a straight section.

We carry out reductions of bevels to the waist line.

Then, increase the bevels from the waist line.

We finish the work with an elastic band.

I wish you great mood and inspiration!!!

A technique such as raglan knitting on top is widely used by hand knitters. Models with raglan sleeves do not have seams, which makes the knitted item lighter and more comfortable.

Knitting starts from the neck, on circular or stocking needles.

Knit raglan on top with knitting needles - easy, beautiful, convenient, practical

Advantages of raglan knitting technique from above:

• lack of seams;
• fast execution of the product;
• the possibility of changing the size of the finished product;
• use of one thread when knitting;
• a large selection of models that can be knitted from the neck without seams;
• the use of raglan lines as a decorative element of the product.

Cons of raglan knitting technique from above:

• an exact calculation for a specific product size is required.

Getting Started

It is better to start mastering the technique of knitting a product from the neck without a complex pattern.

Getting started, you should decide on the model. The presence of a fastener, neck, sleeve length, size - everything must be taken into account.

What will we need?

1. Sketch of the desired model.
2. Circular knitting needles - it is necessary to choose, taking into account the thickness of the thread.
3. Yarn - is selected depending on the model and size.
4. Threads for marking.
5. Stocking needles for working on a seamless sleeve.

Calculate neck length

For a more accurate understanding of how to knit a raglan on top with knitting needles, it is necessary to calculate the length of the neck. Initially, the circumference of the neck is measured. For example, the girth of the neck is 34 cm, then they find out how many loops need to be dialed for a given length.

We calculate the loop test

First you need to determine the density of the loops per 1 cm of the canvas.

The calculation of the loop sample assumes the following algorithm:

1. For the sample, a fabric is knitted with a size of 20 rows and a width of 30 loops. For the most accurate calculation, when knitting a sample, it is necessary to use the knitting that will be used to make the main product.
2. The finished sample should be washed and steamed, which will allow for a more accurate calculation.
3. Calculate loops of 1 cm using a ruler.
4. The result of the loops must be multiplied by the length of the neck circumference.

For example, consider the option when the density is 2 loops. The girth of the neck is 34 cm. Based on the calculations, the length of the neck should be 34x2 = 68 loops.

We calculate the neck loops by segments

From this quantity, it is necessary to subtract 8 loops for the design of raglan lines, divide the rest by 3. As a result, 20 loops are obtained for each segment.

Given the height of the neck of the front and back, you should calculate the number of loops of these parts. Masters recommend doing this calculation as a percentage, namely, leave 45% of the loops for the front; 35% for the back, the remaining 10% for the sleeves.

Now simple mathematical calculations will help to calculate the loops by segments.

60 loops - 100%, making up the proportion, you get:

• before 45% - 27 loops;
• back 35% - 21 loops;
• sleeves 10% - 6 loops per piece.

In this case, 2 loops are used to decorate each raglan line. Depending on the pattern, this number may vary, in any case, it must be a multiple of 4.

Another important point in the calculation is the scheme. The detailed description looks like this.

In the center of the sheet, a circle “the neck of the product” is drawn, which consists of 68 loops. 4 beams are drawn from the circle - “raglan lines”, between the lines - segments of the product. The upper part is the back, the lower part is the front, the side parts are the sleeves.

For the correct knitting of the sprout, it is necessary to divide the loops of each segment, except for the back, into parts. The sleeves, counting from the back to the front, will be divided as follows: 3 loops, 2 loops, 1 loop - for each sleeve.

The loops of the front are divided, starting from the center. On the diagram it will look like this: 2,3,3,5,3,3,2, where 5 loops are the center of the front neck.

The essence of technology

The essence of the technique is a phased knitting of all elements.

Work begins with the neck. To do this, you need to dial the calculated number of loops on the knitting needles and connect them in a circular knit.

Since the height of the neckline of the front and back is different, it is necessary to knit a sprout. Therefore, partial knitting of the back is performed.

Part of the back and sleeves, called the sprout.

To do this, the work is turned back to itself. Now it is necessary to determine the beginning of the row of the germ. Based on the scheme, the 3rd loop of the sleeve will be considered the beginning of the row, when viewed from the back.

This is where you should start:

1. The product is unfolded, the first loop is knitted with a crossed crochet, the rest - in a pattern. All loops of the back and the first three loops of the second sleeve are knitted.
2. Now you should turn the product and knit the first loop from the broach, then 3 loops of the sleeve in the usual way. Having reached the raglan line, an addition is performed.
3. The last loop of the sprout should be knitted together with the next.
4. Having turned the work to the wrong side, continue knitting according to the pattern.

So knit until the formation of the neckline.

When knitting on top, you can choose any convenient way to design a raglan line. Depending on how the pattern will look on the finished product, the master chooses the execution of lines.

There are two main ways:

1. The most common and easy to perform raglan design is 2 front loops without holes. Regardless of how the main knitting is done, the raglan lines are knitted with facial loops, according to the following scheme: before and after the line, an addition is made from the broach, 2 loops of the line are knitted with facial loops.
2. An equally easy way is 1 wrong loop in the center of the raglan line. This design looks good on the front surface. It is performed as follows: before the raglan line, an addition is made from a broach, then 1 purl loop and again an addition. So the fragment is knitted to the end of the raglan.

We make out the gate

Making the gate from the neck can be done in different ways. In the first case, the gate is made out at the beginning of knitting, and then the whole product. In another case, the collar is knitted last.

The first method is used when knitting a product with a low elastic collar.

The execution technique is as follows:

1. 1 l.p., 1 out. removed with a crochet in front of the canvas;
2. 1 l.p., removed with a crochet behind the canvas, 1 out.

Knitting continues until the required collar size. The second method is more convenient when making the original gate. The collar is knitted from the neck loops, which are typed on the knitting needles, then continue the main knitting.

Some models are made with a separate knitting collar, then it is sewn at the end of work.

Shutdown

At the end, an elastic band is formed, the loops are closed. A placket is made with buttons and a collar.

Raglan top knitting for women (master classes)

Raglan on top with knitting needles is used when knitting various female models. A detailed description of the scheme will help you understand how to tie a stylish thing.

Raglan neckline with button placket and stand-up collar

Getting started, you need to perform correct calculations. Having decided on the number of neck loops, the strap loops are calculated.

Women's raglan

As an example, a neck of 48 loops is given. Cast on 8 more stitches for plank. Then 16 loops will go to the shelf, and the rest will be divided into the back and sleeves, respectively.

In the first row, the 1st hem is knitted with the front, in the remaining rows it is removed.

Knitting pattern:

• 1st row - the first and last 8 loops - strap: 1 out. removed, thread before work, 1 l.p. in the usual way, so alternating, knit 8 loops, the rest are knitted with stocking stitch;
• 2nd row - plank according to the pattern (purl loops are removed with a thread in front of the product), the remaining loops are knitted with an elastic band 1x1, knitting the front from the previous row, and the wrong one in the usual way;
• 3rd row - repeats the 1st.

In order not to get confused with the pattern, knitting professionals advise marking each bar with markers.

After knitting the gate, proceed to the distribution of loops to perform raglan.

Here it is also worth marking the raglan lines with markers.

Scheme:

1. The first row is knitted according to the main pattern. Planks are knitted without changes until the end of the product.
2. The second row, all loops are knitted facial, raglan - out. P.
3. Starting from the third row, a sprout is knitted, then the knitting of the product continues, making the necessary increases in the lines.

Nautical style pullover with raglan

The product in a marine style can be knitted using a combination of white and blue yarn. For work, you need to prepare 450 g of white yarn and 150 blue, circular and stocking knitting needles.

Stages of work:

1. Cast on 77 stitches of white yarn on circular needles.
2. The first row - out. loops.
3. Loops are distributed according to the scheme for determining ragged lines.
4. Increases are performed only in the front rows until the sprout is knitted, then work is performed in a circle of 15 rows.
5. The next 4 rounds are knitted with blue yarn.
6. Changing the yarn every 4 rounds, knit to the waist.
7. Next, the fabric is knitted with white yarn, the elastic band of the pullover is made in blue.
8. The sleeve is knitted on stocking needles with white yarn to the elastic.
9. The elastic band is made with a blue thread.

Cardigan with openwork diamonds

This model is made according to the scheme of knitting a sweater with a strap. But the main difference from knitting sweaters is the length of the product. The cardigan can be elongated, fitted or loose.

The openwork rhombus pattern is knitted according to the following pattern:

For example, a sample of 17 loops + 2 edge loops is used, the pattern repeat is 12 rows. All even rows are purl, and the pattern is formed in odd front rows.

The size of the rhombus can be chosen according to your choice. Choosing small rhombuses, the product will turn out to be more openwork.

The basic principle of knitting such a pattern involves knitting from yourself, and knitting the following loops along with a change in slope, so that you end up with a clear rhombus in the pattern.

Having mastered this pattern, you can easily apply it in the main knitting of a cardigan with a raglan sleeve.

Raglan top knitting for men

Men's clothing knitted using raglan on top will appeal to both young people and men of age.

Master class knitting raglan men's sweater

Having carried out a preliminary calculation of the loop test, the number of loops for the neck is 120. Sweater for size 54.

The knitting of the neck and the sprout is performed according to the classical pattern, then the loops are distributed and the raglan lines are marked. The entire piece is knitted in stockinette stitch.

The sleeve is knitted on stocking needles, the corresponding increases are made. The stand-up collar is made with a 2x2 ribbing, the same technique is used when making the ribbing of the sleeve and the bottom of the sweater.

Features of knitting children's raglan

Seamless clothing is especially good for children. The clothes are soft and comfortable. And the easiest way to knit such a thing is the raglan technique from above. Using the raglan knitting technique on top with knitting needles, you can get such children's things as sweaters, vests.

For girl

Especially often raglan is used when knitting dresses for girls. It will look good on a girl and a tunic knitted in this way.

The technique of knitting children's raglan differs in size, otherwise the techniques are according to the classical pattern. Calculation of a loop test, distribution of loops by segments, circular knitting with expansion in the area of ​​raglan lines.

Things for a girl can be decorated with laces or embroidery, pom-poms or tassels. It all depends on the imagination of the knitter.

For boy

Models for a boy can be very diverse: pullovers, jumpers, sweaters, vests, sweaters. Having calculated in detail the required amount of yarn, they work on the selected model according to the classic raglan knitting pattern.

When knitting a thing, it should be periodically tried on for a child in order to correct the shortcomings in a timely manner. For a more colorful design, you can use a combination of yarn of different colors or decorate the finished product with embroidery.

Step-by-step instructions for knitting a children's raglan pullover

Having completed the calculation of the loop sample, and having determined the required number of neck loops, the loops are cast on the knitting needles.

Knitting is done with the front stitch from the neck, without a collar.

Order of execution:

1. 9 facial rows: 1 air loop, 1 front, yarn over, 5 front, yarn over, 1 wrong side (raglan line), yarn over, 15 front (back), yarn over, 1 wrong side, yarn over, 1 front, 1 air loop.
2. The purl rows are knitted according to the pattern.
3. In the 11th row, they get 1 air loop on each side of the shelf and close the work in a circular knit.
4. Knitting continues until the set of the required number of loops of the sleeves.
5. The sleeves are removed on stocking knitting needles.
6. Continue knitting without additions to the required length of the product.
7. The last 6 rows are knitted with an elastic band 2x2 and close the loops.
8. The sleeves are knitted on stocking needles with decreasing loops in every 6th row to the required length.
9. The sleeve ends with a 2x2 ribbing.
10. To decorate the gate, pick up the first loops of the neck on circular knitting needles and knit 4 rows with an elastic band 2x2.

This pullover is very comfortable. Can be worn by both boys and girls. By decorating with embroidery or other decorative elements, you can create an accent for a girl or a boy.

Making raglan lines: ways

Ways to design raglan lines are different. Depending on the taste of the author or the product model, the lines use classic 2 front loops without holes, a three-dimensional braid pattern or openwork patterns.

Pattern "Scythe of 6 loops"

Knitting is done with front stitch, pattern repeat - 6 rows.

The scheme is as follows:

• front row - 1 yarn over, knit 6, 1 yarn over;
• purl row - according to the pattern, the yarn is knitted purl with the loop crossing.

So knit 6 rows, cross in the 7th row:

• yarn over, remove three loops of the braid onto an auxiliary knitting needle;
• knit the next three;
• return the first loops of the braid to the working knitting needle and knit them with facial ones.

Pattern "From holes"

The openwork raglan line looks great on products made of fine yarn. The number of loops of the line can be any. The easiest way to draw openwork raglan lines is to increase with a regular yarn.

Knitting steps:

• on the front side in front of the raglan pattern, a regular yarn is made, 2 front loops of the raglan line, yarn over;
• on the wrong side, all the loops are wrong, including the crochet of the previous row.

Another very beautiful way is the herringbone pattern. Pattern repeat 10 rows. All additions in the front rows, purl - according to the pattern.

Execution steps:

• 1st row - nakid, facial, nakid;
• 3rd row - yarn over, knit 3, yarn over;
• 5th row - yarn over, knit 5, yarn over;
• 7th row - yarn over, knit 7, yarn over;
• 9th row - yarn over, knit 9, yarn over.

In every 11th row, the pattern is repeated. The result is a pattern of holes that resembles a Christmas tree. Such a raglan line looks great on products made of fine yarn knitted on top of both adult and children's models.

The fantasy of the master will tell him the choice of the most suitable design option for the line. Raglan sleeves are an easy and convenient way to make knitted things with your own hands.

How to knit a raglan on top of the knitting needles, loop calculation:

How to tie a raglan top with a placket and stand-up collar:

How to tie a raglan sprout from above:

This master class shows how to knit a sweater without seams from the top of the neck with knitting a sprout and additions along ragged lines. A detailed calculation of loops, a description of knitting a sprout and a video lesson are given.

The advantage of knitting models with raglan, starting from the neck and to the bottom, is that the product does not need to be sewn and the thing can be tried on and adjusted to the figure during the knitting process. Who does not like to sew seams should learn how to knit models with raglan.

For example the blouse is connected to the 46-48th size in Alize section dyed yarn using circular needles #4 and additional stocking needles.

Knit a sample, determining the density of knitting, calculate how many loops you need to cast on for the desired neckline, for a model of 124 loops.

Lock the cast on into a ring and work the bar in rounds with a 2x2 ribbing, no increase, alternating 2 knit and 2 purl stitches.

To move on to knitting a raglan sweater, calculate the loops taking into account the sprout. To get an idea of ​​how raglan is knitted, draw a pattern. A strap for a neckline in the form of an oval, from which lines extend on four sides - these are 4 loops or raglan lines, they are also the border of the sleeves with the front and back. From the marked raglan loops, additions will be made to expand the top of the sweater.

Raglan calculation:

Each line is 1 loop. From the total number of loops 124 we subtract 4 loops, 120 loops remain for distribution to the front, back and sleeves.

Divide 120 sts by 3 = 40 sts in front, 40 sts in back and 20 sts in two sleeves. This is the calculation of loops for raglan without taking into account the sprout.

The sprout is necessary so that the neckline in the front is deeper than on the back, for this you need the back to be 2-4 cm or more longer than the front. The sprout is knitted only on the loops of the back and the back of the sleeves in short rows.

When knitting a sprout, it is necessary to perform additions along ragged lines through a row. If 6 rows are knitted for a sprout 2 cm high, then 3 loops will be added to the details from each raglan line.

After knitting the sprout, the total number of loops will increase to 132, the sleeves will become 23 loops, the back will be 46 loops, and the front will remain on 40 loops. This is not correct, since the front must be larger than the back, so we will recalculate from the initial number of loops = 120: 46 loops for the front, 34 loops for the back and 20 loops for the sleeves. After knitting the sprout, the front remains the same on 46 loops, there will be 23 loops on the sleeves, and 40 loops on the back.

Putting marks before and after the ragged lines, knit the sprout. Raglan increases through the row, starting from the first row.

Before and after the raglan loop, increase from the broach, knitting the front loop behind the back wall.

In the first row of the sprout, make an increase from the first raglan loop of the back, knitting it to the second one, also add, knit 1 loop along the sleeve, remove the next loop without knitting, wrapping the working thread around it. Turn the work inside out and knit the second row back.

The pattern for the blouse is chosen simple with a rib- a row of purl loops through 2 rows of the front surface. The pattern should start with a sprout and go to the entire raglan.

In the second row of the sprout on the wrong side, knit the wrong loops to the second mark and after it 3 loops, remove the next loop without knitting, wrapping the working thread around it, turn the knitting to the front side.

In the 3rd row, make a scar, for this, knit the loops with the wrong ones, but always make the addition of loops and ragged lines with the front ones. In the 3rd row of the sprout, purl to the wrapped loop in the previous row and after it remove the next loop without knitting, making a turn around it with a working thread.

In the 4th row (on the wrong side) purl all loops. Knit the 4th row of the sprout to the loop with a turn, remove the next loop by making a turn around it with a working thread.

In the 5th row, perform additions along the ragged lines. Turning the work inside out, knit the 6th row with facial loops, for the hem, but do the ragged loops with the wrong side, as on the front side they should look like lines from the front loops.

Having connected 6 rows of a sprout 2 cm high and turning the work to the front side, then knit the whole raglan sweater in a circle on all loops, performing increases from 4 raglan loops. Increase first through the row, then through 2 rows and then along the pattern. Having tied the top of the sweater, the raglan lines should run from the neck to the armpits, and the width of the front and back should be equal to the girth of the chest.

On the example for raglan, increases were made in 23 rows. The number of loops on the sleeves has increased to 46, on the front to 92.

To move on to knitting the main part of the sweater, remove the loops for the sleeves separately on additional knitting needles or pins.

In the first row between the front and back, cast on an additional 6 loops.

Knit the main part of the sweater with a rib pattern to the desired length. . The scar from the neck changes, after 5 rapports, make it less often by 1 front row. Knit rib 5 times through 2 front rows, 5 times through 3 front rows, 5 times through 4 front rows and so on. On the bottom of the jacket, make a strap with a 2x2 elastic band and close the loops according to the picture.

After completing the main part, knit the sleeves. Attach the thread and additionally dial 6 loops between the back and front at the base of the sleeve, then knitting goes in a circle, including the left loops of the sleeve, the pattern is performed in the same rhythm from raglan. The width of the sleeve when knitting can be adjusted by reductions on the inside.

Having finished knitting the second sleeve, the jacket is completely ready, you do not need to make a single seam. Trying it on in the process of knitting, in the end you will get the desired result. The upper part of the jacket with raglan lines emphasizes the line of the shoulders. Since there are no seams on the sides, the product looks neat, and the sectional yarn dyeing looks spectacular.
