On a sultry summer day, a light crocheted raglan will help to escape the heat. It simultaneously closes the body and lets air through the air knit. But, it is worth noting that in fact, raglan is not an independent part of the wardrobe, but just a sleeve. It is distinguished from others by the absence of seams. So how to crochet raglan? It is not at all difficult to do this, because making patterns is not necessary, and besides, you do not need to constantly count the number of decreases and additions of loops.

Instructions
Step 1
First of all, decide on the pattern that you want to get on the product. One of the simplest and at the same time stylish knits is considered to be "rogules" arranged in a checkerboard pattern. In addition, you can knit a wide border from round motifs.
Step 2
Now you need to calculate the loops. The number of loops allocated to the main pattern should be divisible by three without a remainder, plus two more extreme loops. Raglan is best to start knitting at the neckline. Gradually it is necessary to add loops for the four raglan lines.
Step 3
Now cast on a chain from 119 air loops. Knit the entire first row with "rogules". You will get like a strip. It needs to be divided into 6 parts. Two parts are set aside for the back, sleeves and shelves. The loops, which are on the boundaries of the parts, are the bases of the raglan outline. It is at the boundaries of the parts in each next row that several loops need to be added for expansion. For these purposes, you need to knit two patterns in one loop.
Step 4
In this simple way, continue knitting. After the raglan is about 27-29 centimeters high, you need to remove the loop of the sleeves with a thread. Now you only need to knit the backs and shelves with one cloth.
Step 5
The bottom of the shelf needs to be decorated with a wide border. It should consist of 18 motives, which are best tied with an openwork stitching. Openwork stitching is performed as follows: each cell includes one double crochet and one air loop. Sleeves, collars and shelves look very stylish if tied with a finishing narrow edge. And at the level of the waistline, pull a ribbon or lace.
