Learn How to Knit a Pieced Raglan with This Easy Tutorial

May 4, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

marsala cardigan berrocoI’m going to TNNA at the end of the month, and I’m in mad knitting mode trying to get a few things together to wear. Right now I’m working on a Quickie Cardigan by Amy Gunderson a sweet little lace cardi with raglan shaping worked in pieces and seamed.

Putting all the pieces together is a lot of work, and you want to take the time to get it right, otherwise your project will not look as good as it could.

Berroco wants to help you get over any fear you might have of piecing a raglan cardigan with its Marsala pattern. The pattern is mostly Stockinette with a pretty stitch pattern on the edges and collar.

To help with the piecing, they’ve put out a video that shows how all the pieces go together and how to seam them so your finished garment looks great.

Have you ever knit a raglan in pieces? I usually work them in the round, so I’d love to know if you have any tips!

A Short and Sweet Top to Knit for Summer

I think one of the things that keeps me from wearing some of the summer tops that I have knit is that when they use worsted weight yarn, they’re actually heavier and warmer than a normal T-shirt would be. Which sometimes is fine, since I tend to be cold, but it’s not always what you want from your warm-weather gear.

That’s why shirts and tops knit with fingering (aka sock) yarn are so great. They’re super light weight and honestly they don’t take as long to knit as you probably think they will.

I’m sure that’s true with the Maya Top from Gavriella Treminio, especially if you choose the cropped length option. This top down sweater has a textured circular yoke with bobbles and eyelets, while the rest of the body is worked in stockinette stitch. Other than the integrated ribbed neckband, other edges are left in stockinette so they will roll slightly to finish the casual look. 

The design comes with seven different size options, ranging from 36 to 62 inches in the chest. The pattern page doesn’t say how much ease is meant to be included in the pattern, but starting at size 36 would leave it pretty roomy for folks in the smaller sizes.

I don’t think the suggested yarn is made anymore, but it looks like a top that would be lovely in a mercerized cotton or a linen and silk blend, something with a little bit of shine to it. This is one of those times when the yarn suggestions on Ravelry can be super helpful because you can see what yarn other people used and how their finished projects came out.

You can get this pattern on Ravelry.
