Knit raglan sweater - a guide
For the special raglan cut to succeed, the seams must run obliquely into the collar seam to the neckline. Of course, this places particular demands on the collar. Because: Knitting starts at the collar. This sweater is therefore often called "raglan from above pullover".
We asked the makers of Makerist how to knit the neckline. Makerist trainer Nina Schweisgut from KNIT KNIT shows us how it works.

Knit raglan sweater - professional tips from Nina Schweisgut:
- Practical: In the raglan technique, you can work great every wool quality and wool strength - you only need a mesh sample, a calculator and a piece of paper
- Is everything sitting? If the raglan increases are complete and the sleeves are on a thread, you can try on a sweater or jacket before
- Easy without sewing needle! When knitting the sleeves around, the knit has no seams
- The length of sleeves and body can be easily determined during knitting
- To mark the raglan classification you need stitch markers - if you do not have one, you can easily make yourself out of wool remnants in contrasting colors
Instructions: cuddly Knit raglan from the top of the sweater
