raglan from the neck down ,, so i started to write for her [ i do it in Slices ,,,, and sent it , than thought somebody here might enjoy or use it as well ,,, so here is lesson 1 Raglan from the Neck down ------------------------ Make wool Gaugue , measure garment`s reciepient . Chest, hips , Take the widest of the number , divive into 2 , Now you have back and front [ i do it because one might to make a v opening etc,,,, ] now calculate X cm = back y stiches are =? cm thus back [cm] = so many stiches ---------------- Divide Back [no] stiches into 3 , Shoulder/neck/shoulder if you have 2 to much add to shoulders , 1 too much add to neck. now maesure Arm at higest point under the arm pit , calculate this cm size into stiches size. your raglan sleeve top is also made of shoulder /neck /shoulder stiches, Take Number of `Sleeve top` Stiches size and decrease the 2 shoulders stiches number . Now you know the back+front neck number of stiches [=1/3 of back number of stiches] , and neck number stiches of sleeves [arm width stiches size - 2 shoulders stiches size,,, For a round neck , cast on kneedles 1 back neck [stiches size] + 2 sleeves stiches size] + front . If you want a v neck opening , cast back stiches +sleeves. [v neck stiches will be made while knitting grows . ----------- example , my measurements showed me i need 60 stiches for back Thus i will have 60 : 3 20/20/20 45 for sleeve ,,, 45 -2X20 =5 I will cast on 20 foe back neck , 20 for front neck , 5 x 2 for sleeves in case of round neck , and 2o for back + 5 x 2 for sleeves in case of v neck. ---------------------- I wil send this now please tell me if this is clear , and i wil type the rest later .. mirjam Lesson 2, sweater can be made with various Collars in case you want a Turtle neck , you cast on the front/sleeve/back sleeve stiches and start ribbing it .[.1/1 to 4/4 ] make your choice , in this case knit half the wanted length with regular needles, change to 1 size smaller knit 2 rounds ,change to 2 sizes [from regular] smaller, k 2 rounds , change back to 1 size smaller , k 2 rounds , change back to regular size knit other 1/2 length .change to the needles 2 sizes smaller and rib 4-5 rounds, change back regular size and knit further as crew neck sweater. crew neck sweater , cast on wanted number of stiches , close |

Hi Mirjam,
What a clever lady you are. I'm printing it out just in case I decide to try a circular needle some day. Hugs, Your twin, Nora |

Hi Mirjam,
Would you like me to put that on the rcty site? I'm still working on the html and finding things for the pages but I think this would go well on a 'members patterns page'. If you don't want me to include it that's ok, I'll understand. So don't be afraid to turn me down!
