Quando si fa il raglan.....in cima alle maniche devono sempre rimanere pochi punti? Io sono andata dietro a delle spiegazioni di un giornale ,non mi sono venute le maniche perchè in cima mi sono rimasti troppi punti,cosi il collo troppo largo.......peccato che non capisco quello che sta dicendo ,sono belli questi video.

@ienzus1 Mi dispiace - se si sta seguendo il mio modello scritta, è tutto chiaro per ogni dimensione. Se solo follwing i video, è possibile rendere il collo troppo ampia. Se si sta seguendo lo schema scritto, scrivetemi al mio indirizzo di posta elettronica (sul modello) e io ti aiuterò. Possiamo usare Google Translate per parlare. :)

@vmendoz3 if u multiply by 3 u will have a raglan for a 12 yr old!

@turquoisebloom haha...yes, it seems like that would be true, but toddlers/babies and 12 year olds have very different bodily proportions. Doesn't quite work like that. :)

first ur the best teacher ever!! i bought the pattern and made a sweater for my 1yr old cousin, going with the instructions from the pattern. Now my 4 year old cousin wants one but i have no idea on how to go about that. Could i multiply the pattern by 3??? would that work??Please help!!

@vmendoz3 Couple things you could do here...if you have the 4 year old around, you can just keep increasing the raglan until it comfortably fits under his arms, then separate for the sleeves. (I'm only giving you this advice since you've already knit the sweater and know the techniques.) Otherwise, I encourage you to find a different sweater pattern in the size you need. You now have the skills you need to do it! :)
