Hi everyone! I’m trying a sweater for the first time ever. I’ve knitted several blankets and scarves, but never attempted anything more difficult. It’s a sweater worked in the round from top down. I got the collar done fairly easily and now working on the body. My question is…what is a “raglan stitch”? I’ve searched the internet for videos, but just can’t quite get it. I understand the M1L and M1R, but when it says “knit 1 raglan stitch”…I’m at a loss. Is it just a regular knit stitch, but clarifing a raglan style? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! A sample of the pattern is below with the “problem stitch” in bold.
Thanks so much!!
