In this DROPS video we show how to work raglan on a jumper from the bottom up. There are several ways to work the decreases to raglan, but in this video, we show a simple basic way where it is decrease before and after the markers (4 marker threads are added in the piece between front piece, back piece and sleeves).
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2, marker thread is between these 2 stitches, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. Repeat at each of the remaining marker threads (= 8 stitches decreased).
On next round knit over all stitches, then work one round where you decrease to raglan again.
How often it should decrease, read the pattern you are working after.
We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
