simple KNIT top down raglan top tutorial | the anything raglan | Made in the Moment

[@snarkypuppy6459]

Dangit, you proved my algebra teacher right. Apparently I will come across a scenario in life where I will need to find "x". If I start knitting that is.

[@KYLETISZAI]

Knitting is awesome try it

[@someoneoutthere2000]

screaming and crying because i hate math but love knitting. let’s be brave ❤

[@simsamsammie]

If you're knitting in a contrast color for your hem and cuffs, work 1 round in that color before starting the ribbing. This will prevent the main color showing in the first row of purl bumps in the ribbing. An incredibly optional step for a very nitpicky detail, but if you're like me, you love the details

[@javon0]

I just started knitting again I forgot about this. Thanks for the reminder 😭

[@user-rs2no8ls3c]

I love patterns that are made to fit! Easier to make, and easier to understand how the knitting really works, instead of blindly following a pattern and not getting what we're doing. so HUGE thanks! as an intermediate knitter I'll try this tutorial

[@madeinthemoment]

Same!!! It makes it so much easier to modify and make sure you're getting the size you want. I hope you enjoy!

[@jolifigueroa7018]

Hopefully after this video you were able to buy a new circular needle long enough for this project! Thank you for your great videos and podcasts!

[@caitlinboycher8596]

1. Love your color choices. 2. Holy moly watching you switch styles is interesting! 3. Screenshot the math portion to prove to my students that math turns up in random parts of your life and is EASY!

[@crystald3655]

Math isn't easy for everyone. I struggle with the simplest math and always have.

[@wysdjanggur7238]

I like your third statement... 🤩👍

[@jacquelinechneour5480]

An easier way of determining how many stitches to cast on is this one: 12 divided by 3 -- which gives you the number of stitches per inch-- = 4, multiplied by 22 = 88 stitches. It's called a 'règle de trois' in French, and we learn how to do it at primary school. I use it all the time in supermarkets to work out what's best value when a product is sold in different weights, for instance. Thanks for this very useful video. :-)

[@kitcat-xn1mn]

I was wondering if someone else would mention this method, I always do this or something similar. Usually I just count how many stitches are in 1 inch to begin with and multiple from that, then round up or down to my desired number. The method in the video seems wicked complicated to me, I'm not sure when you'd need to use that

[@jacquelinechneour5480]

Indeed it is. The 'règle de trois' (rule of three) should be taught in schools everywhere. It's the one maths thing that I've used all my life. My partner, who's British, had never heard of it.

[@anyak2064]

Love how in depth this tutorial is! I’m a crocheter who’s a beginner to knitting and I’m super excited to try this pattern out!!

[@Hailstor.m]

I hope it went well for you! im a crocheter learning to knit as well!!

[@victoriaconti3191]

I have been crocheting for a year now, and last fall i made my first crochet raglan sweater by following your tutorial on the raglan crochet sleeves and just making the body portion longer. I am trying to learn how to knit now, and written patterns i find are just impossible to follow. This tutorial seems pretty straightforward, with very clear instructions too, and i love how you can use any yarn and needles based on gauge... I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials, you make fiber arts less confusing and much more exciting.

[@snickerbuckle]

Have I been knitting for almost 20 years and made a bunch of top down sweaters? Yes. Did I watch the whole video and still learn something new? Also yes!

[@Whistlewalk]

Thank you. A beautiful basic T-shirt pattern is what I've been looking for.

[@faith6895]

As someone who is basically new to knitting this was very easy to follow and I love it

[@sugarwyrm]

just finished weaving the ends in on my first raglan!! thank you so much, Emma for such a wonderful customizable pattern!

[@alexisreiter3214]

Holy shit i have been looking for a video exactly like this forever, and you executed it PERFECTLY! Answered all my questions. I’m starting to resent patterns as a novice knitter, bc i like to thoroughly understand what im doing and why I’m doing it so I can replicate it in the future. As well as gather the knowledge of different garments so i can combine different techniques later on to make things customized. This explained everything i wanted to know, tysm:)))

[@verb777]

This is a godsend!! Like some others have said, your explanation helps to actually understand what I'm doing in a knitting project rather than just following instructions. I got halfway through making a project using a pattern and realised I'd done the raglan incorrectly but couldn't work out why. I just undid the whole thing and am starting again now actually knowing what it is i'm doing. thanks heaps!!

[@maryjackson1396]

I already knew basic stitches but had no clue on where to begin on making a sweater or a vest but this pattern was amazing and you did a great job explaining what to do along the way so thanks 👍👍😂

[@frog783]

omg this is the first tutorial where i can actually understand what to do and why!! i love that i can adjust it to my size and to the yarn im working with tysm

[@rubydown3329]

So awesome!! Thank you for being so thorough and explaining everything so clearly ☺️ I only recently got over my apprehension of knitting in the round and making things to measure. Just recently finished a bottom-up sweater, can't wait to try this one out 😁

[@lostleafsleeps]

im so excited to finally try your knit tutorials!!! ive been crocheting for over 13 years and just started learning how to knit :D

[@sandradearing604]

OMGOSH~ just found you today! AMAZING! U showed me so many techniques I had wondered about! The calculating, the joining in the round, the folded collar...even your guage swatch was a joy to understand. ~LOVE THIS VIDEO! ~TY TY TY TY ~

[@luciasoare2608]

Ema,I like your esthetic you are very creative.I met you here in Boston at one of the markets and in fact I took 2 pictures of the outfits you were selling.Thank you for recommending the store Make and mend ,went there ,bought some bamboo needles for the ladies in my group( I started a knitting group at the Senior center in Brookline)Very good tutorial,and love the way you combine the colors.

[@clairewulf]

oh thank god made in the moment has a raglan tutorial!!!!

[@lovubye]

gonna make this soon with thrifted yarn i got recently!!!!! i really appreciate u for including all the math stuff in this pattern!

[@CurledSquirrel]

Gave thumbs up for the measurements and math 🤩super helpful! thank you!

[@madeinthemoment]

Ahh yay!! I'm so glad to hear that!! I know some people can get a little intimidated but it's not that hard and helps you modify it how you want :)

[@inspiredbypinkreneelovesba5269]

Opera you are definitely creative and have different abilities in the creative arts I like the precision with which you teach and knit thank you for this, I have seen this made by clozabug on KZbin so I thought I would try it. xoxo

[@marabanara]

You’re the first knitter whom I’ve been able to learn raglan increases from properly! And that’s even accounting for me knitting this flat, not in the round! I’m a crocheter but my mother and grandmother taught me to knit when I was a child. However, the way they taught me doesn’t match anyone I can easily find online. Turns out, it’s a combination method where my knit stitches are actually facing the opposite to pretty much everyone else’s 😢 but at least your method of increases works for me too!!

[@naomiwainwright252]

Quick tip for people who may be a bit bigger around the chest area, it’s easier to knit to the widest part of your chest before deciding for the sleeves, I would also recommend adding a couple more stitches under the arm than the pattern says, makes it a bit easier to make it fit your body ❤

[@cassidyrose8965]

Thank you this is very helpful

[@judeoliver5256]

Yes not sure why in horizontal knititing you would skip every says third stitch. (Understand this in picking up stitches in a vertical button band when row count is larger than stitch count, but not when picking up horizontally). I'd also pick up an extra stitch in that gap that forms at beginning and end of row then k 2 together to return to original stitch count in next row. Helps prevent gapping . Great video!!! Many thanks for your clarity!

[@marutchayali.421]

How long do the round needles need to be though? She mentioned the width of her needles but I couldn’t find her mentioning the length.

[@naomiwainwright252]

@@marutchayali.421 it doesn’t necessarily matter how long the needles are, I personally like mine a tad longer because I have trouble holding the shorter ones, but other people prefer the shorter ones because you can work a bit faster with them. So it really just depends on the person because as long as you have the correct width, your stitches will hold the correct size regardless of needle length. Hope this was helpful!

[@SadButKindaRad]

Making my first ever shirt with this tutorial. Thanks!

[@isabellefredricks7591]

Omg the result is so cute!! I really want to try knitting a sweater, but I am still knitting my first sock ahah it's been almost 4 months 😅

[@ajswag421]

using this to help me make a cardigan! love your vids!!!

[@wallisfernandes8352]

Thank you do so much for this tutorial and easy pattern! I could actually finish a sweater! Love it! Would you be able to do a scoop neck tutorial for this pattern? Thank you for taking the fear out of knitting a sweater!❤❤❤

[@fabigrossi2976]

You could also divide the stitches in the beginning by three. Thus you've got one third of the stitches for the front, the second third for the back and the third third 😊 is the number of stitches for both arms together. Divide the third third by 2: voilà, the number for each arm.

[@daleannayoung9438]

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you ❤

[@erinzhou4986]

I was hoping to see you do short row shaping for the back neck. I hate the way sweaters pull toward the back and feel tight at the center front neck if there’s no shaping. Otherwise a 5 star video! Thanks!

[@Buminnie]

i think you are a really good teacher because this is literally like my second time with knitting needles and it works so well for me ❤ mind you i am quite a fast learner but my mom tried to teach me a few times and it never worked 😂 could be also the fact that she has as much patience as a goldfish but that changes nothing 😂 so thank you for the tutorial, it is so well made and helped me a lot with my first knitted raglan top ❤ (haven't finished yet but i'm close xd)

[@SolFlor]

Im going to start this project soon as a beginner knitter, and when you got to the math portion i laughed so hard because i wanna say you did Algebra math???!!!❤❤ so i guess my high school math teachers were right, we were going to have to use this kind of math some point in the real world and im glad i love Algebra!!!🧡🧡🧡🍀🍀🍀🍀❤️❤️

[@madeinthemoment]

I’ve been shocked by often I do math as an adult hahaha

[@EpiphanyDraws]

im making one to stashbust a little - itll be color blocked of just whatever yarn i have left from various projects, im using larger needles to get a mesh effect and tbh im skipping the ribbing or leaving it until the end because no matter what i do i always mess up the ribbing pattern and it kills my motivation to start a project off with 40 stops and redoes and start agains. i have enough black to probably get to the armpit joins, at which point ill be switching to maybe a burgundy or a dark gray. im leaving the color choices til later - i just want this to be a one skein at a time project so itll fit in my canvas bags easier.

[@gabrielleyelle]

Thank you! Ive knit a raglan sweater last year and I just couldn't remember all the details but i didnt want to be stuck to a pattern, this was just what i needed!

[@elizabeth4053]

Thank you so much for your hard work! ❤

[@elenipappa6034]

Great tutorial. I feel confident enough to start my own sweater.

[@shadowthesatyr726]

I love it ! I haven't made one yet but after this beanie i will make one Definitely!!!❤😊

[@extraterrestrialelliot]

This is such a great tutorial and I've returned to it today intending to make a modified version of this pattern, however I'm using a sport weight and I have immense jealousy of the chunky needles Emma is using here

[@dcantu-paez4308]

You are so clever on how you added a purl on the ribbing.

[@ev-l]

Hi! Love the tutorial:) I'm noticing that the way that the sleeves fall is a bit different between the two tops in the video. Is this because of the weight and type of yarn used? Both tops are gorgeous, but I think something closer to the green top would suit me better. If someone could enlighten me I'd be grateful:)

[@Jortney]

My favorite part of this was learning that my go-to cast on is called a cable cast on. I could never get tension right with other methods and decided to just knit the foundation on. Glad to know the name now if someone asks.

[@akakapo1400]

Do you have any suggestions for how to decrease on the sleeves if we want them to be more fitted?

[@serendipitya7149]

Mark middle of sleeve and decrease every 5/6 th row so and k 2 tog

[@annisimila9504]

is the body in alternating rows of knit and purl? and you increase on the knit rows? or is it all the knit stitch. i’m just confused cause you wrote stockinette

[@margaret2427]

when you use circular needles, you don't need to alternate between knit and purl to do stockinette stitch. you just knit every row.

[@ann6794]

at what section, do you start with a new color? 😀

[@jc77497]

hi aspen! just wondering if it’s worth it to block the gauge swatch before measuring and doing all the math stuff, thanks :)

[@emmadahl8044]

This pattern looks great! Is there any way I can make this tighter and shorter to make it a baby-tee??

[@giruksen]

So it would be still nice to wear without short rows?

[@frog3263]

This is great!! Do you happen to have a crochet version pattern of this? I only know how to crochet, but have trying to find a pattern for this type of shirt 😓 ty!!

[@abriI03]

lovely tutorial! it's my first time knitting anything bigger than a sample swatch and so far this has been really easy to follow. i was just wondering how i could get a more baggy fit without making my collar bigger? would it work if i did increases in every row instead or is that going to throw off the raglan look?

[@timidgeek]

i think you should follow the increases every other row or it will likely change the shape quite a bit. personally i think you could just split the arms out further down than your arms are, kind of trying it on as you go so that it’s more oversized? if that makes sense. it helps a lot to use measurements from a piece of clothing you already have and love the fit of!!

[@yourlocalpunkkid6136]

we need more hot takes and ranking/ talking videos 😩😩

[@madeinthemoment]

I have some more planned don’t worry!

[@angry_gremlin_noises]

Hi, I’m kinda free styling and following along. But I want more fitted sleeves. I just don’t what you meant with the decreases. Where do they go? And does your flaring have anything to do with the 2 inches on both sides you added at the armpits (with the three inches added on in between)? If anyone could help that would be amazing

[@nataliebentley4333]

if you don't want flared sleeves, just knit to the armhole marker. Also add less stitches when you cable cast on.

[@ThEhObBiT1959]

Thanks for the video. I know how to knit a top / down sweater for babies/ toddlers so would like to knit one for myself but can’t get my head around the German short rows to knit for the collar. ( ie to make the back neck higher than the front) Does it make a big difference please? I’m not looking for a perfect fit or use expensive yarn but dk yarn.

[@s.k.z.788]

In Minute 33 you tell us to take two inches of for the arms, but why exactly two inches? And how would that translate to centimeters (the metric system)?

[@micaelaetcheto7166]

Thanks very well explained, easy and clear.

[@blobbycactus]

Slight issue I've just ran into, what if my gauge swatch is less than 3 inches wide though 😭 Love the tutorial by the way! Looks really easy to follow!

[@bsfb3ar]

Why 16sts for gauge swatch? What size of your yarn to used a pretty large size needle? Thanks.

[@romeobroess3075]

Im not sure if you said it or not but how lang is the cable you used for the collar? Love ur vids btw❤️❤️

[@madeinthemoment]

Ah yes I used a 16in cord!

[@oliknits333]

would i be able to knit this flat? my cord is too long to use the joining method you used, but too stiff to use the magic loop method.

[@JessDifferent]

what length needles are you using! the link in the description doesn't work anymore :(

[@bearbookmosaicstudio3634]

Excellent explanation! Thanks.

[@NilaKasim-d6c]

Thanks for sharing!

[@yvesviolet]

on your tiktok the neckline is smaller and more turtle necky, how do i get it like that? i like the sleeves and the neckline in your tiktok but i don’t know how to do it like that

[@bsfb3ar]

How come the measurements of the chest were not applied. Do I use only the need measurements?

[@lucyschwien2689]

Before dividing for the sleeves, should I have just completed an increase row or an all knit row? Or does it not matter?

[@suckerfish3043]

id do it after an all knit row, the point of alternating between increase and all knit is to "lock in" the increase stitches which are irregular. so you wanna "lock in" the increases before dividing for the sleeves. idk if that makes sense & this is super late but in case anyone else is wondering, thats my logic ^^

[@babyjki444]

uh oh when u set up the increases and placed the first marker u divided ur 60% number by 2 because u were already halfway around...mine isn't an even number. its .5 so mathematically speaking i should round up, but do i do that here??

[@marieo305]

Round to the even number. The number for the sleeves (40%) needs to be divisible by 2

[@UrmiAhmed-n7o]

Hi, so beautiful of you to share such info. I have a 4 year old and trying to use my wool for him. But thing is his circumference I took is 19 inch..if I take one of his jumper it should be around 15 inch neck opening..what am I doing wrong? really want to make but afraid to start just if you can help me understand. I am tempted to use 15 inch as stitch circumference but just unsure. He is a small 4 year old and there is no way his neck line should be 19 inch. Please help ..and THANK YOU again for your work!

[@madeinthemoment]

If you think 19 is too big then do 15 :) neckline differences are really just about preference (as long as they’re big enough to fit over your head)

[@UrmiAhmed-n7o]

@@madeinthemoment oh wow you replied...thanks a lot :) I am gonna rely on the gauge on the wool itself ..it is a trial and error but lets hope for best. Thanks again for making things easier for us beginner knitter.

[@illummise8436]

Question! Are the increases always one stitch away from the marker during every increase row or no?

[@yasmineaguilar964]

yes

[@druwaahbadu7019]

hi, i have a question and need some help chat if I drop my m1l and m1r for 2 rows how do I fix this?

[@girl4nietzsche]

i cast on 84 and my 60% is 25, which is not neatly divisible by 2. what do i do?

[@shtoonky]

In case you’re still wondering, the number doesn’t have to be divisible by 2 exactly. You can knit 12 then after you make your way around and place your 4th marker, you’ll notice the back will have 13 stitches left (12+13=25). The divisible by 2 is only so the start point of each row is closest to the middle of the back part . I’m not the greatest at explaining 😢 so I hope this makes sense. Happy new year. 🎉

[@joshhoman]

Very pretty!

[@meganberryman9448]

Love your tutorials, would you consider doing one for knitted shorts?
