Another pullover knit pattern is here to share with you all, the Raglan Pullover, perfect for the cold winter time. From the beginning of the year, I have been busy with knitting projects. This raglan pullover is one of them which I have designed and knitted for myself.
This raglan pullover knitting pattern is relatively easier to knit compare to the previous shawl collar cable stitch pullover I have knitted for my husband. If you have a basic garment knitting experience, this raglan pullover that uses only Stockinette Stitch should be easy as well as a great knitting project for you. Honestly speaking, I find that knitting a plain stockinette stitch garment is a bit boring to me, thus, I applied colorwork design for this pullover. In this case, adding stripes on both the shoulders, arms and part of the body was my crafty idea. I really love how the effect of the stripes has turned out, not to mention the dotted line on the front and back pieces, do you see what I see? There are rows of adorable mini hearts on the raglan pullover ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The weather is hot and humid here and I could barely stand the heat to wear the pullover and pose for photographers, even with a full swing of aircond. However, I will wear it for my upcoming vacation to a snowy country, hopefully, my modeling photo will turn out awesome to allow me to update here.
That’s for now. More knitting projects to come after I am back from my sub-zero snowy vacation.
Hello,
I am unable to find 8” circular needles in this size. Can I use 9” for this pattern?
Yes, you may use 9″ as long as it fits into the size of the neckband.
Happy knitting.
Thank you.
I apologize, I am brand new to knitting. I read that you should use shorter length and never longer circular needles than you want your project to be but that’s is for working in the round.
I am struggling to find where to use which length needles.
Is the size 7 2×2 tubular cast on beginning the back and front the 8” circulars and then increased to the 36” when changing to the size 8 needles and finishing with the 36” size 7 needles?
Would it be better to use a shorter length than the 8” for the neckband rather than longer?
If the tubular cast on is not in the continuous round, you can use any length of circular needle as long as it can hold the number of stitches on it. The shorter size 7 needle is only needed for the neckband. You can use 9″ needle or smaller for the neckband if you can’t find an 8″ length needle, again, as long as it can hold the total number of stitches in it.
Hi
How do I actually get this pattern. I have pressed the “get pattern” button but it just flicks back to the original page
Try clicking the button again, it should work. I tried from it from both Chrome and Firefox, it is working fine.
Hi, I love your pattern, but I’m confused about the math for the front neck shaping. If I do the decreases until 4 sts rem. then how do I (WS )purl to end Next row: K2, ssk,K2tog wouldn’t I need 6 sts? What am I missing?
Thank you for pointing it out, there is a mistake in the pattern. I accidentally added the k2 in the pattern. I have gotten it corrected.
Thanks. I figured it out on my own, but wanted to ask just in case.
I love this pattern, I am confused about a stitch that calls for
p2togtbl, I am having a problem doing this stitch, is there anyway I can do that double edge just decreasing knitting/purling that makes the nice edge?
Also, I have knit many sweaters, doing raglan, I have never decreased on the purl row as your pattern describes, hope that doesn’t make the sweater too short?
thank you so much for any help
I have included a link on the youtube video (from Knit Purl Hunter) on how to do the p2togtbl stitch.
Hello!
I am currently working on my first sleeve and am a little confused. My sleeve length is already 15.5” and I still need to increase 9 more times. With an increase every 6th row, my sleeve will be 9” longer.
On your pictures it looks like you increased on both sides but your instructions only say to increase at the end of rows. Is that a mistake?
Thank you
Hi Tania, first of all please check if your tension is the same as stated in the pattern. I think of you still have 9 rows to complete after reaching 15.5″ then your knit is looser than the pattern.
My tension is exactly the same as your pattern. Your pattern says that I should have 92 rows after ribbing before staring the raglan shaping. However, increasing from 59 to 73 stitches every 6 rows is 84 rows. Which gives a total of 112 rows/18.5” after ribbing.
Hi Tania, It is to increase 1st at both beg and end of the row. I have rephrase the pattern with a proper instruction. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you!
I love this sweater but I’m confused about the sleeve shape raglan next row as 1st row, next row purl to the end for 23 times I did it and did not get 11 rem st to bind off, and I am knitting a large do I cont. until I get 11 st?
I have checked the pattern and it is correct. I guessed that there must be a missing reduction in your knitting. Please DO NOT continue to knit until you get 11 sts, it will be off alignment to match the body part when joining up. If you are just 1 or 2 sts more than 11, just stop there after you have done all the rows, the most you will get is a slightly bigger collar instead of mis-align sleeve to the body. If you have way more sts left in your needle, I am sorry that you will have to to re-do after finding out where the mistake is.
It is a beautiful sweater but I am confused how to start the front panel does it connect to the tube that is started for the back?
I think you are confused with the tubular cast on video that I’ve linked up. The video is making a ribbing in tube, but, it is a flat piece in this pattern. So just don’t join up the ribbing shown in the video and work the rib in flat.
Hope I have answered your question.
Wonderful patterns thank-you so much for sharing
