At present, women have forgotten the seamless way of knitting a little. Basically, modern magazines now offer to knit raglan from the bottom up.
Knitting from the neck has its advantages
- No seams, which is important when knitting children's products
- Do not waste time to sew details.
- The length of the product can be changed
- A small number of threads, useful when the product is blown.
The disadvantage of this method is a small choice of patterns, not all patterns are knitted in a circle, there are a lot of loops in the work. For knitting raglan from the neck, circular knitting needles are used. Before you start knitting, you need to make a calculation. To do this, you need to link a control sample.
Calculate the density of knitting
We measure the circumference of the neck, in one 1 cm the density of knitting is 2.2 loops. For 48 sizes, the neck circumference will be 36 cm. So, we need 2.2 loops x 3.6 cm = 79 loops for work.
This number of loops will be divided into 3 parts - 79 loops: 3 = 26 loops plus 1 loop remainder. We add this remainder to the hinges and we will get 26 pips each on the sleeves and back and 27 loops will go to the front. From loops of sleeves, we take loops on the line of raglan, for each line we take 2 loops. 26 n - 8 p. = 18 p. They will be divided into 2 - (18 p.: 2 = 9 p) for the right and left sleeves. If we get the remainder of the division, we add it to the front. Total we will receive - 26 points - a back, on 9 item will go on sleeves, 27 points - before and on 2 п. Will go on 4 regular lines.
Rigging
By tying regiment, you need to consider that the back of the neckline will be higher than the neckline of the neck. We collect loops and knit - 1 st. Transfer, 2 ragna items, 9 pcs sleeves, 2 pcs raglan, 26 pcs back, 2 pcs raglan, 9 pcs sleeves, 2 pcs raglan and 1 st sender. Note the lines of raglan threads of a different color. We knit in straight rows, add a few loops from the side of the cutout through the row. The depth of the cutout will depend on the number of loops we add. At the same time we add raglan through the line. So we knit until we have typed the necessary number of 27 loops and one loop for symmetry. Then knitting we will unite in a circle and we knit, and on lines of raglan we add loops.
For 48 sizes, the length of the raglan lines will be 30 or 32 cm. We try not to make a mistake, the transmission lines and the raglan backs must converge. On the auxiliary threads or additional spokes we remove the hinges of the sleeves, the loops of the railing lines are evenly distributed among all the details. We will unite the back and forward loops and knit in a circle up to a certain length. Loops do not add. We knit sleeves in straight rows, if we want the sleeves to be without seams, we knit them on stocking knitting needles. Do not forget about the bevels of the sleeves, we will do in every 6 row reduction. When the sleeves are made, we will tie the neck. If we carry out the fastener in front, then we will divide the loops in half and add the strap loops to them.
How to make raglan?
The simplest lines of raglan consist of purl loops or 2 facial loops. With the help of the cue, we add. If the nape is tied with a simple loop, then near the line of raglan we get holes. If we want, that there were no holes, then we sew the cape with a crossed loop. The most raglan lines are performed in the form of different tracks, "braid" slides. These lines will decorate the raglan with a decorative finish.
