Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial! I just finished up my sweater and it turned out fabulous!! I started learning how to crochet a month and a half ago and this is my first ever sweater so I'm very proud :D I did end up with slightly shorter sleeves that come to a mid/three-quarter length, but I think it's due to tension & blocking differences not the pattern.
I've made two of these now since you've posted this, this is an absolutely lovely pattern; thank you so much for sharing !!! I wasn't able to figure out the stretchy cast on in a timely manner so I ended up chaining loosely. I also skipped the beautiful ribbed cuffs (as I haven't tried ribbing yet and it's a bit scary for me atm), and it still fits quite well; highly recommend trying this raglan!! 🧡
lovely sweater! thank you for sharing. But I don't really want such wide sleeves at the bottom/wrist nor a ribbed band, how can I make the sleeve slimmer? just decrease as I go down? I would actually like a small flare and need room at the top of sleeve (big arms!) but not so much as you had
This is a great video and your instructions are easy to follow but for some reason my sweater is starting to curl up. This is my second attempt and it’s still curling 😩
Could be a few things. First it's important to turn each round, because if you work in the same direction each time things will get curly and twisted. Your stitches might be a bit too tight, so you can try loosening up your tension or using a larger hook. Some curling can be blocked out, or it can get less curly once you get more length. It can also help a bit to add ribbing on the edges.
Just subcribed as i think you are brilliant at teaching .one thing what weight is your yarn it looks like dk but when you zoomed in it looks like aran is it worsted.
It’s 3dc, ch1 for all of the main body and sleeves 🫶 (i had to actually go back and rewatch it myself, it’s been so long since I last made anything like this)
Crocheting in the raglan pattern means that it’s adaptable to your own body size, as you are simply crocheting until you’ve reached the desired length for your armpit, and you can try it on as you go to decide when to stop increasing! As mentioned during the calculation section in the video, leaving less stitches for the arms and more for the body, creates a wider fit (20/60) whereas if you leave more stitches for the arms and less for the body (30/60), it will create a slimmer fit (i hope that makes sense) :)
im on my 3rd row and it seems to be ruffled even though the stitches are all even as I have 8 chain spaces between the arms and 11 on the front between the corner stitches will it flatten out as I do more rows?
I Think it’s because of uneven tension. If you block your project so far, and stretch to make it even ajd unruffled and then ensure even tension as you continue crocheting, it should improve (?? I think)
Yes it just depends how you divide your body & arm measurements :) If you take away 10% from your total stitches you will get slimmer sleeves (instead of the 20% that i did)
