Hi. I am almost finished with my first sweater. I have two questions I would love some help with.
I finished the front, back, and two sleeves. All were done on straight needles. Now it says to “sew raglan seams” What is the exact definition of raglan? What parts am I sewing together? Because next I am picking up the remaining sts to start knitting a collar and once the collar is finished then it tells me to sew sleeve and side seams. This sweater is an off the shoulder sweater with a collar that folds down at the shoulders.
My next question is that it tells me to pick up all the sts on circular needles. Can I use DPNs instead or should I buy circ needles? Will it matter?
Thank you all so much!!!
