In this DROPS video we show how to knit raglan back and forth on a circular needle.

Slip sleeves on the same needle as body piece where bind off for armholes. Insert a marker in all transitions between body piece and sleeves. Now dec for raglan.

In this video we decrease each side of 2 sts at each transition on every other row, i.e. every row from RS, this gives 4 sts in stockinette at each transition.
Start 3 sts before marker; K2 tog, K1, marker, K1, slip 1 st as if to K, K1, psso. (For 2 stockinette sts in each transition: Start 2 sts before marker; K2 tog, marker, slip 1 st as if to K, K1, psso).

Anleitung Drops 97-24 - Raglanabnahmen. Bei der Abnahme von gesamt 8 M pro R abgenommen werden. Vor der Markierung sollen 2 M zusammengestrickt und nach der Markierung 1 M. re abheben, 1 re, die abgehobene Masche überziehen. So werden gesamt 4 M. abgenommen. Wo beginnt die Abnahme? Direkt vor der Markierung und soll die beschriebene Methode vor der Markierung zweimal erfolgen oder in der nächsten Reihe? Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.

Liebe Pepsi, ziehen Sie eine Markierung an jedem Übergang zwischen Ärmel und Vorder- /Rücktentil = 4 Markierungen. Dann stricken Sie bei jeder Markierung so: 2 M re zs (1 Abnahme), Markierung, 1 M abheben, 1 M re, die abgehobene M überziehen (1 Abnahme) = 2 Abnahmen bei jeder der 4 Markierungen = 8 Maschen werden pro Abnahmenrunde abgenommen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Goedendag, ik brei patroon Drops Extra 0-851, de Celtic Ballad trui. Nu aangekomen op het punt dat ik moet minderen voor de raglan. In het patroon lees ik: minder verschillend op het lijf en op de mouwen. Daaronder beschreven 2 verschillende manieren van minderen: 1 voor op de mouwen en 1 voor op de panden. Is het de bedoeling beide manieren tegelijkertijd te gebruiken of moet ik een keuze maken voor 1 van de 2?

DROPS Design :

Dag Nicolette,

Met 'minder verschillend op de mouwen en het lijf' wordt de hoeveelheid minderingen bedoeld. Dus niet de manier van minderen maar de frequentie. Hoe vaak je mindert staat precies aangegeven onder PAS. Je moet dus beide doen; de minderingen na de 2e en 4e en voor de 3e en 1e markeerder en tegelijkertijd na de 1e 3n 3e en voor de 2e en 4e.

Bij Patroon van vestje 19-4 loop ik vast bij de raglan, de mouwtjes moeten op 4 naalden in rond worden gebreid. Dan moeten deze op de rondbreinaald bij het lijf, dit gaat niet met die ronde mouwen. Op de instructievideo zijn de mouwen open. Hoe wordt het hier bedoeld?

Dag Ria,

Het handigst is om een ietsje langere rondbreinaald te nemen en dan gebruik te maken van de magic loop. Op de moeilijke delen kun je dan de naald eruit trekken om verder te kunnen breien.

Hej,jeg er nået til raglanindtagninger, men kan ikke få det til at passe når jeg strikker efter opskriften. Har prøvet det tre gange og spurgte også en “ekspert”, men det ser stadigvæk forkert. Skal der ikke være de samme antal masker på begge dele når man tager ind? Hjælp😰 er desperat og kan ikke komme videre. Tak 😊

Bonjour Joannah, les diminutions des raglans diffèrent d'un modèle à l'autre - afin d'obtenir une aide plus précise, merci de bien vouloir poser votre question directement sur la page du modèle. Merci pour votre compréhension!

Ben model 85-13 aan het breien. Bij de raglan heb ik een probleem. Ben telkens drie steken voor de markeerders begonnen aan de minderingen als volgt 2st te samenbreien, 1st rechts, markeerder, 1st rechts, 1st afnemen, 1st rechts breien en de afgenomen overhalen. Nu lees ik begin 2 st voor de merker op de mouwen en 5 st voor de panden. Snap het niet goed. Moet ik dan alles uittrekken?

DROPS Design :

Dag Sabine,

Het is inderdaad de bedoeling om op het voor- en achterpand te beginnen met minderen 5 steken voor de markeerdraad, de mindering zelf beslaat 2 steken, zodat de mindering 3 steken vanaf de markeerdraad zitten.

How to increase to raglan and at the same time work short rows

In this DROPS video we show how we increase to raglan and at the same time work short rows. Put 4 markers as explained in the in the pattern you are knitting after and cut the thread. Now you start working front left of neck when garment is worn. Start from the right side, 2 stitches before marker-stitch-3 and work after pattern (stocking stitch / after charts) and increase to raglan before and after the 4 markers until you have worked to 2 stitches past marker-stitch-2 (8 stitches increased for raglan). Turn, tighten the strand and work back from the wrong side to 2 stitches past where the short rows began by marker-3. Continue with short rows as it says in the pattern and when the short rows are finish, cut the thread and now it starts mid-back again. Work the yarn overs / the increases as it says in the pattern, and remember that the yarn overs / increases are worked differently, before/after the marker and from the right side/from wrong side We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern (and look at the chart) to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the picture below.

How to work increases from the wrong side

In this DROPS video, we show how to increase with yarn over from the right side, both before a mark and after a mark, and how to work the increases from the wrong side. To get the yarn over to face neatly towards each other from the wrong side, work like this before the marker: Work in the back loop of the yarn over (no hole). After the marker work like this: Slip the yarn over off the left needle, then replace it the other way round (insert the left needle from the back when replacing it). Work the front loop of the yarn over (no hole). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly.

How to work yarn over differently to get different directions

In this DROPS video we show how to work yarn over differently so that they are towards the right or towards the left, as it is done in the hat in DROPS 234-12. We show 1 round where we knit the yarn over and 2 rounds where we purl the yarn over. Work the yarn over like this: AFTER MARKER: Work yarn over in back loop of stitches, stitch is twisted towards the left. It should not make a hole! BEFORE MARKER: Slip yarn over off the needle and put it back the opposite way, and then work in front loop of stitch, stitches is twisted towards the right. It should not make a hole! Work the increased stitches in rib knit 2/purl 2 - i.e. the first 2 times knit the increased stitches, the next 2 times purl them. The hat in DROPS 234-12 is worked in DROPS Karisma, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly.

How to put markers, increase to raglan and how to work short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to put 4 markers in a piece, how to increase to raglan at these markers while working short rows. We cut the thread and start the short rows at the 3rd mark, but when the short rows are finished, we cut the thread and start in the middle of the back again. We have already worked a double neckline and in the video, l we show how we work a round where we put 4 markers and increase to raglan on each side of these markers. On next round we work the increases stitches twisted so that there are no holes. Then we work short rows, we also increase to raglan on every row and when the short rows are finished, we only increase to raglan on every other round. We use the yarn DROPS Nepal in the video.

How to increase to raglan and how to work the stitches the round after

In this DROPS video we show how to increase 2 stitches by each raglan-line and how to work these increases stitches on the next round. Work like this: Increase 2 stitches by each raglan-line as follows: Work to the raglan-line, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 (= raglan-line), 1 yarn over. Increase like this at each raglan-line (= 8 stitches increased). On the next round work the yarn overs as follows: BEFORE RAGLAN-LINE: Slip the yarn over onto the right needle as if to knit, place it back onto the left needle (it is now twisted) and knit in the front loop (yarn over twists to the right). AFTER RAGLAN-LINE: Knit in the back loop of the yarn over (yarn over twists to the left). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
