How To Crochet The Raglan Crochet Sweater


The top down raglan crochet pullover is worked in one piece seamlessly, which means no sewing.

You start at the neck opening and work the yoke in round down to the bust and arm holes.

From there you will work the sleeves and body separately in rounds.

To finish the crochet raglan sweater, all you have to do is weave in ends.

This crochet sweater is made up of mostly double crochet and single crochet stitches. However, on the sleeves you will also work 3 double crochet stitches together to create the repeating stitch pattern.

The final important technique to mention is the fact that you will work over the yarn for the sleeve colors when you work the front and back part of the yoke. Alternatively you will have to cut yarn at all rounds and weave them in at the end.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?


How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

Crochet Pattern Notes


  • This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
  • All measurements given are unblocked.
  • Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
  • Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
  • Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
  • Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
  • This pattern is written for 9 sizes, where the numbers for the different sizes is given in parentheses like this: XS (S) M (L) XL (2X) 3X (4X) 5X. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin, to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under “Size & Measurements”.
  • At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
  • Sweater is worked on the right side (RS) in rounds, in one piece beginning with the yoke. After working yoke, you will crochet the body, then finally the sleeves.
  • When working the yoke on this pattern. You will have to cut color B and color C each round.

Size Notes

  • Pattern is written to have standard fit 5 cm / 2 inch positive ease on the bust and body and very close fit  0-2.5 cm / 0-1 inch ease on the sleeves. Learn more about mastering ease in crochet garments.
  • Take measurements and choose the size that fits you the best. Go up/down in size if a different fit is desired.

Size Adjustments

  • All sizes of this pattern is written to have the same neckline, but if you want yours wider, FSC 92 and start directly on round 4.
Body:
  • Adjust length by adding/reducing the number of rounds you crochet.
Sleeves:
  • Make the sleeves narrower by starting the decreases earlier.
  • Make the sleeves wider by starting the decreases after finishing more rows or stop decreasing earlier.
  • Adjust sleeve length by adding or reducing the number of rounds you crochet.

Stitches Used In The Crochet Pattern


FSC (foundation single crochet):

Step 1: Ch 2 sts.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into previous “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.

Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.

sc2tog (single crochet 2 together):

pull up a loop from the next 2 st, yo, draw up a loop, you have 3 loops on the hook, yo, pull through all loops on the hook

sc3tog (single crochet 3 together):

pull up a loop from the next 3 st, yo, draw up a loop, you have 4 loops on the hook, yo, pull through all loops on the hook

dc3tog (double crochet 3 together):

*yo, pull up a loop from the next st, yo, pull through 2 loops*, repeat from *to* 2 times

Techniques Used In The Crochet Pattern


Changing colors with different color on different rows:

When working with different colors on different rows, you’ll never finish the last stitch on the last row with one color, with the color you where working with.

Do all the steps of the stitch, then leave the last step unworked. Yarn over with the color for the next st & pull yarn through.

Repeat this for every row you change colors to make the color changes look beautiful.
