Raglan with knitting needles: master class

Today things are very fashionable, connected with their own hands. It is worth noting that the easiest way to perform models with a sleeve raglan. Spokes from the top down can be tied as a dress, and a cardigan, blouse or cardigan.

Model sewn - an advantageous option for the "growing" veshchichki

You can knit a raglan sleeve with knitting needles from above, then also perform a backrest and before. And after that, collect all the details and sew them together. This is one of the simplest ways of knitting things, since the master does not have to suffer with the removal of the armhole and the sleeve of the sleeve, and then with the sewing of the sleeve.

We should also note the practicality of knitting this model from above. If necessary, only the last hinge-closing row is opened. Next, the master just tying in the right amount, and the thing gets longer.

That is why so often knit raglan style things with knitting needles for children. Even if the baby has grown and the blouse has become not only short, but also narrow, it is possible to tie strips-inserts and sew them into the side seams of the product. And these bands may well be of a different color and even a different texture - now fashionable combined things.

For and against knitting from above in a circle

But more often knitters use in their models the way of knitting raglan with knitting needles from above, from the neck to the bottom with one thread. This option does not provide for the stitching of parts, so it is much easier to perform.

The practicality of such a product is also in the fact that the yarn practically does not break off. Therefore, if you want to dissolve the finished product and make it out of the former blouse, for example, the beret does not leave much effort, because the thread will be practically without knots and tears.

Although there are some disadvantages to this type of work. Carrying out a model of raglan with knitting needles from above, the master must carefully calculate everything in advance. After all, even a small mistake to fix in the course of work will not be possible. This is for sewing models, you can remove excess linen in the side seams. Here everything will remain in sight. And all the corrections consist in one thing: by dismissing, you need to start the model from scratch.

Correct calculation is the key to success!

Before you connect the raglan with your knitting needles from above, you need to make a small piece of cloth from the selected yarn in the pattern that you plan to use in the model. Usually, a sample of 20-30 rows with a width of 15-20 loops is sufficient.

So, the sample for calculation is executed. Now measure the width obtained. Let's say a craftsman typed 20 loops on the spokes. The width of the same sample was 8 cm. We calculate:

• We subtract 2 edges from the number of loops. 20 - 2 = 18 (loops).
• Divide the resulting number by the width. 18: 8 = 2.25 (loops in one centimeter).
• We measure the circumference of the neck. And it should be remembered that the head must easily pass into the cutout. Let's say we have chosen a girth equal to 40 cm (the knitting has the property of slightly stretching, so the head will easily squeeze into such a neck).
• We multiply the density of the mating (the number of loops in one centimeter) by the girth of the neck. 40 x 2.25 = 90 (loops). This will be the initial number of loops, which should be typed on the spokes to perform the first row in the event that the model will have a raglan sleeve with knitting needles from above.

Calculation for the model made under the throat and without fastening

Now you need to figure out where you want to add raglan.

For this, the total number of loops is divided by 3. In the example under consideration, this looks like this. 90: 3 = 30 (loops). This will be the number of loops in both arms. If you get a fractional number, for example, 22.5, then you can not pay attention to 0.5 loops. Usually, only a whole number is taken as a basis. In this case it will be 22, especially since 22 is easily divided by 2, since the model will have two sleeves. If the wizard had a 23.5 loop, then it would be more convenient to increase the number to 24.

Dividing the result by 2, the master will receive the number of loops in the starting row for each sleeve. In the particular case, 30: 2 = 15 (loops).

The rest of the loops will go on the binding of the backrest and transfer, 30 loops on each section, respectively.

Performing additions for knitting raglan on top

So, let's consider the simplest version of the work. This knitting is raglan with knitting needles on top of it, under the throat without fastening. To do this, you need to type on the needles the required number of loops and connect the rubber band with a "pipe" of sufficient length. Then the addition of loops begins, so that the model "raglan from above" is made with knitting needles. The master class of this process will help the beginning master to become a real pro in this business.

• The required number of loops is typed on the spokes.
• The first row is selected with the selected pattern.
• At the same time, loops are calculated on which additions will be made. These places are marked with colored elastic bands or thread. To get more accurate, from the beginning of the row the half of the backrest is postponed, that is, in our example it will be 15 loops. Rubber is put on the spoke.
• Next, start the sleeves - knit 15 loops and put on the rubber.
• Now lay the transmission hinges - 30 pieces. Again mark this place.
• Sleeve - again 15 loops.
• The second row is already beginning to add. You can just make a round around the marked loop. You can tie three (nakid, facial, nakid) out of the loop or from 3 of 5 to do it. So the pattern "bird track" is knit.
• The third row and all the subsequent odd ones are performed by simple knitting, where the cap is tied as a separate loop.
• The second-order knitting algorithm extends to all subsequent even-numbered rows.

Here is presented to the aid of the beginning master, who has taken to knit a model of raglan from above with knitting needles, a diagram that clearly demonstrates the beginning of the process of adding.

Calculation of the increase of the loops in the region of the armpits

And now the upper part of the model is completed. The product reaches the shoulder joint, so the knitting of the raglan with knitting needles from the top goes into a different phase. It's time for the hinges, designed for tying up sleeves, to transfer to spare spokes or to take them off on a cord or a linen gum. It is worth tie in a ring, so as not to miss the eyelets.

The main thread master continues knitting in a circle, moving from the back to the front. In the places where the back ends, you should type additional loops on the spokes. Their number is calculated in this way.

The girth of the chest is multiplied by the density of the mating. For example, this size is 92 cm. We remember that the density of our mating is 2.25 loops in one centimeter. 92 x 2.25 = 207 (loops).

Further from this number, the number of back and back loops should be subtracted. Then the result should be divided in half. Here is the number of loops and is additionally typed on spokes.

The final stage of work on the model

Now the master knits the circle around the selected pattern until the product becomes the desired length. After that, you should tie the elastic band or just close the hinges - it all depends on the model chosen. The thread ends at the end of work, is fixed, and its tip is hidden from the inside.

Loops of one of the sleeves are transferred to spokes. The main thread enters the work. The mating is conducted in a circle. Near the elbow fold, you can slightly reduce the width of this part of the product. When the sleeve reaches the required length, an elastic band is knitted or the row is simply closed. So do with the second sleeve.

Raglan with a cut from the front at the neck

It is known that the heads of babies do not always easily get into sweaters under the neck. Therefore, making a raglan style with knitting needles for children, the craftsman often chooses a model with a cut, thereby increasing the neck.

Calculation of the total number of loops is performed according to the scheme described above, adding to the result 2 edge loops. The process itself is no longer round, but with the rotation of the product. You can trim the neck of the neck with a strip of pattern "putank".

This drawing is quite simple. This alternation of the front and back loops. Only the front should be tied back, and vice versa. That is, it turns out, as it were, an algorithm of tying a rubber band, but with entangled loops. Hence the name of this drawing.

And on the edges of the rows is also best to tie the planks patterned "putank." In principle, this is the only difference, because the model is knitted in almost the same way as raglan on the top with knitting needles, the master class of which was described above.

After the bar has reached the required length, knitting becomes circular. The algorithm of the work is completely the same as described above.

Raglan sweatshirt with end-to-end fastening

The difference between this model and the sweater on the bar at the gate is that the series does not join the ring. The whole jacket is tied in rows with the turn of the product. And to calculate the total number of loops to the result, not only 2 edges, but also the number of planar ones (1 time) are added.

For example, at the very beginning, we found out that for a normal raglan on top of the round you need to collect 90 loops. Now we will correct their quantity according to our model. We also make a sweatshirt with Raglan knitting needles on top of the through buckle, so you need to add 2 edges and planers - where the buttons and loops will be placed. Usually this is 7-9 loops. 90 + 2 + 9 = 101 (loop).

The bar itself is formed symmetrically on both sides of the row. And on the bar on which it is planned to make loops, the master at the same distance binds "holes". For this, you can tie two loops together in one row, and make a nakid on the wrong side. In the next row, the cape is tied in the usual way. The result is a "hole" for the loop.

If the buttons are large, close 2-4 loops in the right places, and on the wrong side of this row, select the number of previously closed loops in the same place. Then the hole for the loop will be larger.

Being able to knit with knitting needles raglan from above and calculate the number of loops for work, it is possible to simulate other versions of products. Experienced craftsmen use the braiding of the braids on the front, make slits for pockets, make out collars of various shapes and make a neck of various shapes.
