Not every craftsman decides to knit raglan, mistakenly believing that it is very difficult. In fact, even novices can master this process. This is a type of clothing for the upper body. It differs in that it consists of a single solid canvas and does not have a single seam. It is due to this configuration that knitting a sweater with knitting needles will be easy for everyone.

The history of creating raglan is very interesting. In the battle for the Crimea, one lord was wounded. His subjects sewed him a garment, taking into account the damage: so that the sick arm experienced minimal discomfort. The creators of such products have long since died, and their idea has been successfully applied to this day.

Surely, in your wardrobe there are many things with a regnaun sleeve. But it is much more pleasant to tie such a blouse yourself. We offer to see the photos in order to be inspired by fresh ideas.

How to tie a raglan with knitting needles from above?

Using our master class, you will easily knit a sweatshirt from above. You will need five long knitting needles and yarn. The mating begins at the neck. First of all, make a sample. For example, for a 10 cm canvas you need 27 loops. If the head circumference is 50 cm, 135 loops are required. But we need an amount that is a multiple of 4. Therefore, type 136. The circle is closed and spread over the spokes. The first row of raglan should be tied with facial loops. Then make a marking: on the sleeves takes 1/8 of the loops. We will have 17 of them. 51 loops will remain on the back and front part.

Knit each row so that one loop from each edge is added in the marking lines. Let's say you start knitting a sleeve - add one loop, finish the row - add one more. The next spoke is the back. Also add on the loop from the beginning of knitting and at the end. Thus, the jacket is knitted in a circle. When the back width reaches the desired value, knit should be divided. Now each element of the jacket will be created separately. Spray the backrest, in front and the sleeves according to the selected scheme. If you are a beginner, you can use a pearl or classic smooth surface. After this, connect the sleeves and fasten them with a column without the crochet. Do the same with the back and front of the blouse. The neck, the ends of the sleeves and the lower part of the product can also be tied with an elastic band. This scheme is suitable for men's jackets, and for women, and even for children.

Therefore, we offer to decorate your product with a beautiful ornament with a braid, bundles and delicate elements. Start knitting by making a calculation. Measure the circumference of the head and chest. After that, tie the sample and count how many loops you need to dial in accordance with the size of the neck. Focus on the next pattern.

The braids are better to start knitting from the very beginning, because they are out of the shoulder with such a sweater model. This female pattern is liked by almost everyone. It can be supplemented with harnesses. In this case, remember that the braids look beautiful only on the canvas with the wrong hinges. To facilitate the task follow the diagrams. One of them is suggested below.

Summer products are better decorated with openwork patterns. It is not necessary to knit them on all the elements of the jacket. For young women, the option is suitable, in which the back is made of openwork viscous, and the front part is smooth. Beautifully look patterns only on the sleeves in combination with the classic design of other elements. Below we propose a scheme for creating an openwork ornament in the form of rhombuses.

Very beautiful patterns are obtained when using cotton yarn. If you want to decorate them with the entire product space, pick up such schemes that will be easy to perform when tying. We have several examples. You will find them in the next photo.
