  • The invisible raglan increase is perfect for seamless top-down sweaters. The raglan stitch is flanked by mirrored increase stitches and the raglan seam has no holes. Whether the sweater is worked in stockinette for another stitch pattern, the seam will be virtually invisible and the patterns will match perfectly.

    Many years ago, Barbara G. Walker wrote a book called "Knitting from the Top." In it, she gave directions for a number of raglan increases, many of them decorative. I think this method of yours is one of them. In any case, if anyone wants to learn other raglan increases, this book is a good resource.

    • @CornbreadOracle
      @CornbreadOracle 3 місяці тому

      Yes. I think she called it “Increase number 4”. Or rather it became known as that because it was unnamed but 4th in a series of increases she detailed. It’s a fantastic raglan increase.

    Wow! thank you so much !! I’m using this technique on a jumper I’m knitting now! It’s so much easier the M1R or M1L. I have one cheeky question how do you work this on the wrong side for the German short row increases at the top of the jumper. I’m not sure I’m doing it right 😊 x

    • @jamescoxknits
      @jamescoxknits  3 місяці тому +1

      If I understand you correctly, You're working a top-down sweater with 4 raglan seams. Whether the sweater is a crewneck or a cardigan, the short rows are shaping the front neck drop. The double increases are done on the right side rows, then you work back on the wrong side. You have to use the invisible raglan increase on every other row, because you are knitting into the stitch below the raglan seam stitch. The wrong side row provides the stitch below. If you want to create increases on the wrong side you do the same as the right side, but you are purling each of the 3 stitches: increase, raglan through the back, increase.

      @jamescoxknits  3 місяці тому

      Excellent question. You need to work a row between each IRI (invisible raglan increase) stitch. Because you're knitting into the stitch below to create the increases, and you can't knit into the raglan increases. Have fun with this stitch - I have loved it for over 15 years. Cheers, James
