In this DROPS video we give you a quick overview of how a garment where the yoke has raglan sits on the body, and where the increase/decrease lines are positioned.
SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece can be knitted/crocheted top down or bottom up, often without the need for assembly.
TOP DOWN:
The yoke is knitted/crocheted across all stitches. 4 points are marked (in each transition between the body and sleeves). These are the raglan-lines and it is here increases are worked for raglan, which then gives width to the body and sleeves. When the yoke is finished, the body and sleeves are continued downwards. The neck can either be worked to begin with or at the end of the project.
BOTTOM UP:
Start by knitting/crocheting the body and sleeves separately as far as the beginning of the yoke. Then knit/crochet the yoke across both the body and sleeves. At the same time, stitches are decreased on each side of the 4 points on the yoke (in each transition between the body and sleeves). These markings are the raglan-lines and here decreases are worked towards the neckline. When the yoke is finished, the neck is worked.
