How to crochet raglan increases on a jacket (working top down)

Video thumbnail for How to crochet raglan increases on a jacket (working top down)
When working a raglan yoke top down you increase on specific places on the yoke creating a raglan line in each transition between body and sleeves. In this DROPS video we show how you can do this. We crochet back and forth on this video, but the techique is the same if you work in the round.

We have placed 4 markers on the row and we increase by each marker crocheting 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr around the ch-space. In the second row we show how to work the sleeves after the yoke is finished and in the third row we show how to crochet the tr in the ch under each sleeve.

You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Jag har virkat som ovan men förstår inte hur jag fortsätter med själva ärmen. Virkar Little Lady Rose. Ska jag börja i mitten under armhålan eller?

DROPS Design :

Hei Nan. Du starter med å hekle 3-3-3-3 (4-4) luftmasker, så hekler du 1 stav i hver maske, og avslutter raden med å hekle 3-3-3-3 (4-4) luftmasker. Snu arbeidet og hekle 1 fastmaske i 2.lm fra nålen, hekle 1 fastmaske i hver av de 1-1-1-1 (2-2) neste luftmaskene, deretter 1 fastmaske i hver stav fra forrige rad og 1 fastmaske i hver av de 3-3-3-3 (4-4) luftmaskene fra begynnelsen av forrige rad. Det hekles frem og tilbake og åpningen som blir under ermet sys sammen tilslutt, samt underermsømmen. mvh DROPS Design

Video chiarissimo, grazie. Io non capisco solo di quanti punti aumentano le varie parti dopo gli aumenti agli angoli...2 per le maniche e 2 per il davanti e il dietro? Perché a me sempre dispari? Grazie anticipatamente

The piece is worked bottom up and we start by showing how to gather the different pieces working; right front piece, sleeve, back piece, sleeve and left front piece. Hereafter we show the placing of the markers that mark each raglan transition, and then we show two rows of raglan decreases; one working with tr’s and one with dc’s. We crochet back and forth on this video, but the techique is the same if you crochet in the round. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.

Mittens - before and after felting

In this DROPS video we show a pair of mittens before and after felting. To prevent the thumb from felting together, turn the mitten to WS (wrong side) and place a narrow silk ribbon along the thumb. Secure the ribbon with a safety pin – NB: insert the pin vertically towards the tip of the thumb so it is easy to remove after felting. Turn the mitten back to RS (right side) before felting. 1. Place the mittens in the washing machine with a wool detergent that does not contain enzymes or optical brighteners. 2. Wash at 40 °C / 104 °F, normal spin, no pre-wash. 3. Stretch and shape the mittens to the correct measurements while still wet. 4. If they turn out too small: soak in water until completely wet, then stretch back to the desired size. 5. Afterwards, the mittens can be washed as any other wool garment.

How to turn 1 strand into 3 from the same ball of yarn

In this DROPS video we how to make 3 strands out of 1 single strand from a ball of yarn. 1. Make a simple loop (like the loop worked when you begin any crochet project) and pull it to approx. 2-3 cm in length. 2. Thread the strand from the skein through this loop, creating a new loop of approx. 40-50 cm. 3. Lay this loop alongside the working strand, so 1 strand becomes 3 strands. 4. Knit or crochet using these 3 strands until there is approx. 2 cm left. Repeat points 2 to 4.

How to join 2 pieces, then cast off with I-cord

In this DROPS video we show you how to join 2 pieces together (A and B), then cast off with an I-cord. Place all the stitches from A and B on the same needle, so that every second stitch on the needle belongs to A and B. We cast off with I-cord as follows: - Cast on 3 stitches onto the right needle. Slip the 3 stitches from the right needle onto the left needle with the working strand now situated 3 stitches in on the left needle. - ROW 1 (= right side): Knit 2, knit 3 twisted together (i.e., 1 stitch from the front piece and 1 stitch from the back piece is decreased). Slip 3 stitches from the right needle back onto the left needle. Do not turn (working like this tightens the working strand so the piece forms a small tube). - Repeat ROW 1 until there are 3 stitches left. Cast off and fasten all strands.

How to work a simple texture

In this DROPS video we show you how to work a textured edge on the right side of the piece. We have already worked a section of stocking stitch in the round and begin the video by showing you how to pick up stitches from the wrong side as follows: Find the stitch which lies 2 rounds below the next stitch on the needle, pick up this stitch in the top loop (from the wrong side) and place it on the left needle. Knit together the stitch loop and the first stitch. Repeat to the end of the round. Then continue as described in the pattern, for example with rib or stocking stitch.
