How to crochet the body under round yoke

In this DROPS video we show you how to continue with the body after completing a round yoke. In the video we crochet as follows: work the tr on left front piece, 4 ch = under sleeve, tr on back piece, 4 ch = under sleeve and finishing with tr on right front piece. In the second row we show how to work tr around the ch under each sleeve. At the end we show how to start working around the armhole to start on a top down sleeve.

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.
