Check the description under the video for more information: dimensions, information about my sample gauge, yarn used and quantity needed, etc.
Speaker A
We will crochet the sweater with raglan from top to bottom. We will work treble crochet mesh stitch here.
Speaker A
Each corner on the odd rounds is a V stitch: treble crochet, chain 2, treble crochet.
Speaker A
We will also make the mesh with treble crochets and make 2 chain stitches between each of them.
Speaker A
Starting chain: 156 stitches. Grab the end of the chain and join it with a slip stitch.
Speaker A
Chain 3 - this is my first treble crochet (make 4 if you prefer), place a stitch marker.
Speaker A
Chain 2 and in the same stitch make a treble crochet. This creates a V, i.e., the first corner.
Speaker A
Place a marker in the V to make it easier on the next round. Chain 2, skip 2 stitches, make a treble crochet in the next one. Repeat a total of 9 times.
Speaker A
We have a total of 9 blocks. In the same stitch in which we just made the treble crochet, make 2 chain stitches, treble crochet.
Speaker A
We have another V, i.e., another corner of our raglan. Place a stitch marker. Chain 2, skip two stitches, treble crochet - repeat a total of 17 times.
Speaker A
Ok... let's speed up this moment a bit 🙊💗 Count whether you have a total of 17 blocks.
Speaker A
In the same stitch: chain 2, treble crochet, i.e., another V, another corner. Chain 2, skip 2 stitches, treble crochet - repeat a total of 9 times.
Speaker A
Chain 2 and in the same stitch make another treble crochet, another V, place a stitch marker.
Speaker A
Chain 2, skip two stitches, treble crochet - repeat until the end of the round.
Speaker A
Chain 2, join the round making a slip stitch. This is what the first round of raglan looks like and we have 9 blocks for the shoulder/sleeve part.
Speaker A
And 17 blocks for the front and back parts of the sweater. We will do round 2 and every subsequent even round in the same way.
Speaker A
Chain 3, mark the last stitch with a stitch marker. Chain 2 and in the first V (and in each subsequent one) make one treble crochet.
Speaker A
Mark the resulting stitch with a stitch marker. Chain 2 and make another treble crochet over the treble crochet from the previous round.
Speaker A
And now until the next V: chain 2, treble crochet, chain 2, treble crochet, etc.
Speaker A
And again: in the middle of the V, i.e., at the corner of the raglan, make one treble crochet.
Speaker A
Chain 2 and make another treble crochet over the one from the previous row. Chain 2, treble crochet, repeat until the next V.
Speaker A
Complete the entire round, remembering to make one treble crochet in each of the remaining V.
Speaker A
Chain 3, round 3 - odd, so in each corner we will make a V.
Speaker A
Chain 2 and in the marked stitch make a V, i.e.: treble crochet, chain 2, treble crochet.
Speaker A
Place a stitch marker and continue working: chain 2, treble crochet, etc. In the next marked stitch make another V: treble crochet, chain 2, treble crochet.
Speaker A
Finish the round, remembering to make a V in each next marked stitch. Round 4, repeat the pattern from round 2, i.e., in each V make one treble crochet.
Speaker A
I will do 15 more rounds to make a total of 18. After 18 rounds, my raglan from armpit to armpit measures 43 cm.
Speaker A
Length from the neckline down at this stage is 24 cm. I'm leaving the raglan on, now I'll join it under the arms and continue with the rounds.
Speaker A
In the end, only the sleeves will remain. Round 19: Work these starting stitches until you reach the first corner.
Speaker A
Take off this marker, chain 2, treble crochet. Chain 2, grab the other corner, remove the marker and make a treble crochet.
Speaker A
Continue working the mesh stitch as before until the next marker. The next corners: chain 2, remove the marker, treble crochet. Chain 2, grab the next corner, treble crochet. Continue working in the same way.
Speaker A
I have already separated the "holes" for the sleeves. I'm leaving them for now.
Speaker A
I will work rounds until the sweater is approximately 46-48 cm long. Initially, I actually made the rounds until they were 46 cm long, and this is the length of the sweater you can see at the beginning and end of the video. Ultimately, however, I cut it to a length of 36 cm to wear it with high-waist bottoms. So finally, from the moment of connecting under the arms, I have a total of 10 rounds. The sweater will look good in any length, so just make it as long as you feel comfortable.
Speaker A
It's time for the sleeves, which we will make in rounds, of course :) We have to start under the arm, choose which stitch you want to start in.
Speaker A
I'll start in this one here. Make a loop, pull it through and chain 3, mark the last stitch using a stitch marker.
Speaker A
Chain 2, treble crochet, chain 2... and so on for the whole round :) Close the round with a slip stitch, chain 3 and start the next round.
Speaker A
My sleeve has a total of 26 rounds and is about 40 cm long. Finally, just hide the unnecessary threads, turn the sweater right side out and it's ready 💗 Subscribe to stay up to date with my videos 🤍 Special thanks to Alicja Adamczyk, Katarzyna Szarek ❤️
