I’m Knitting a raglan baby cardigan in stocking stitch. The pattern says to decrease at beginning & end of knit rows to shape raglan. It says to k1,s1,k1,psso at the beginning of row & then k2 together, k1 at the end of row. The decrease at the end (k2 together) looks nice & neat but the decrease at the beginning of row not so neat. Is there a way to make it look more like the k2 together end? I’ve tried doing the slipped stitch purl & knit wise but makes no difference.
Raglan decrease, is there a way to make both ends look the same?
This helps a bit. I’ve been using the second method in the video rather than the first. The second just involves a tug on the second stitch to tighten up the first and neaten the ssk.
Here’s another from KnittingNuances. I haven’t tried this yet but both the subtle and showy decreases look awfully nice on the blog.
Thanks Salmonmac, I quickly read through the link, seems very good. I’ll read it through again later & will try the suggestion(s) when I get to my next raglan shaping for the front.
I think it was you that helped me with my lace boarder on the girls baby cardigan I was knitting a few months ago, I would have given up without your help. I did say I’d post a foto of it when finished. I will try to figure out how to. Thanks.
Hi. Tried both methods - thanks. But found the twisted purl 2 together method the best. If you google it you will find an easy to follow video.
Looking for pdf, but my phone says the address is no longer valid. Thoughts?
Welcome!
Probably pulled by that particular site or server. See if this helps.
