Hi, Can anyone tell me how to knit a raglen sleeve

 

[In Memory of Scottybear]

Hello and welcome from Australia.
When you get the length you want for your sleeve, you cast off x number of stitches (whatever the pattern says) at the beginning of the next two rows, then k2 tog each end of every alternate row. Youtube will have videos of this I am sure, just google raglan sleeves.

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to knit a raglen sleeve

witch way are you kniting. top down or bottom up

If you do not mind paying for help Craftsy.com has some classes that show you how to do raglan. I purchased the one called lace cardigan and it is very good. I have not yet begun to knit the sweater as I want to watch the class through first.

There sould be some "quick" reference videos on youtube. When I get stumped, I check there first before I venture to another source.

You might also try going to a local arts and crafts store with your project. There is generally an education coordinator there who will be happy to show you how to do it.

I have found the raglan generator on Knitting Fool to work well and it explains things well, I think. Have a look at http://www.knittingfool.com/pages/topdown.guest.cfm

Thankyou, Im doing a sweater and knitting from the bottom up. I think Im supposed to decrease at each end every other row. (not sure)

That's exactly it. I usually cast/bind off two or three stitches at each end to fit under the armpit and then cast off 1 stitch at each end of the the right side rows until I have the right number of stitches at thh neck.
