Video thumbnail for 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. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the picture below.

Wat betekent iedere naald meerderen? De eerste naald maak je 8 meerderingen. In de volgende naald brei je die omslagen gedraaid. Maak je in deze tweede naald dan ook weer 8 meerderingen?

Opskrift drops children 48-4: (str. 12 år): skal alle raglanudtagningerne foretages som vist på videoen ?

DROPS Design :

Hei Susanne. Følg beskrivelsen til raglanøkningene slik de er beskrevet i oppskriften. Videoen viser hvordan det gjøres, men har en litt annen tekst enn oppskriftsteksten. mvh DROPS Design

Hej! Jag vill sticka Drops 232-16 (Desert Mirage), men jag förstår inte hur jag ska räkna fram maskorna för fram-/bakstycke och ärmarna. Efter resåren ska man sätta 1 markör efter 41 maskor och sedan ska man stick enligt diagram och däreter börja ökningen till Raglan, men jag vet inte hur många maskor som ska räknas ör ärmarna och fram och bakstycke. Tacksam för hjälp!

DROPS Design :

Hei Doris. Merket du har satt etter 41 masker er merket du skal måle fra, så når du begynner å strikke etter halskanten/4 cm vrangbord strikker du slik (i str S & M): A.1 (= 7 masker / 1.raglanlinje), A.2 over de neste 9 maskene (= 1.erme), A.1 (= 7 maske /2. raglanlinje), A.2 over de neste 37 maskene, A.1 (= 7 masker / 3. raglanlinje), A.2 over de neste 9 maskene (=2.erme), A.1 (= 7 masker (4. raglanlinje), A.2 over de neste 37 maskene = det er strikket over 120 masker. mvh DROPS Design

Ser ikke at det står når man skal bytte fra liten rundpinne til 80?

DROPS Design :

Hei Hanne. Vet ikke hvilken oppskrift du strikker etter, men vanligvis bytter du til lengre rundpinne når du har masker nok. mvh DROPS Design

Ik loop vast bij het patroon voor Sjøbris. Ik heb de eerste meerdering gemaakt met telkens 6 steken ertussen. Nu moet ik de 2e meerdering breien. Hoeveel steken moet ik nu aanhouden tussen de meerderingen?

21.08.2023 - 13:33

DROPS Design :

Dag Yvonne,

Welke trui brei je precies? (Er is namelijk een dames- en herenversie). Voor zover ik het kan zien blijven de steken tussen de meerderingen steeds hetzelfde, dus steeds 6 steken ertussen.

How do I knit the raglan on pattern 208-1. would appreciate it so much for your help. Thanking you in advance

14.07.2023 - 13:00

DROPS Design :

Dear Noeline, could you specify which part of the raglan is giving you trouble? For this pattern, you knit all of the stitches in each part of the yoke except for the stitches in the "raglan-line", which are worked in A.1. You will then increase for the raglan as stated in the pattern, before and after each repeat of A.1 on the round. These increased stitches are later on knitted. You will increase every other round/ on alternate rounds, as indicated for your size. Happy knitting!

Das Video beschreibt die Raglanlinie und Umschläge, wenn in Runden gestrickt wird. Wie werden denn die Umschläge in einer Rückreihe gestrickt (Strickjacke), damit diese sich nach rechts bzw. links neigen? Das habe ich leider noch nicht verstanden. Danke im Voraus für die Hilfe.

Liebe Anke, dieses Video wird dann Ihnen helfen, es zeigt, wie die Zunahmen bei der Rückreihe gestrickt werden. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

DROPS Design :

Dear Nilda, you could check the following patterns: https://www.garnstudio.com/search.php?action=search&c=baby-nordic-jumpers&construction=bottom+up&lang=en It's more common to knit it from the neck down since the pattern gets adjusted better. Please remember to select “question”, instead of “comment” when posting your questions, so that we may answer you sooner. Happy knitting!

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 (stockinette 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.

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, 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 work raglan from the bottom up

In this DROPS video we show how to work raglan on a sweater from the bottom up. There are several ways to work the decreases to raglan, but in this video, we show a simple basic way where it is decrease before and after the markers (4 marker threads are added in the piece between front piece, back piece and sleeves). Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2, marker thread is between these 2 stitches, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. Repeat at each of the remaining marker threads (= 8 stitches decreased). On next round knit over all stitches, then work one round where you decrease to raglan again. How often it should decrease, read the pattern you are working after. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
