KNITTING TIP:
If your knitting gauge is too tight, the raglan will be too short and the armhole too small. You may compensate for this by working 1 extra round without dec with regular intervals in between rounds with dec.

DECREASING TIP (applies to raglan):
Dec as follows from RS:
Before marker: K2 tog
After marker: slip1 st as if to K, K1, psso
Dec as follows from WS:
