August's Favorite Raglan Patterns: Download Now

Dear users, dear authors,
Get your hands on some beautiful and popular raglan patterns now.

@Authors,
you can feature 2–3 patterns here. Don’t forget to include links, good photos, and information about the materials, etc. 

I enjoy knitting top-down raglan designs because everything is knitted in one piece and there are no seams. Here are my suggestions for you. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.

Warm regards from Ina

The Ice Princess’s Coat
It is so beautiful that you would almost wear it yourself. Like something out of a fairy tale, it comes with its large hood and wide white plush trim. Any doll can only feel like a princess in it, right?



Cardigan in a variable length
Not quite as fairy-tale-like, but perfect for everyday wear, is this cardigan for dolls. You can knit it in any length you like from just a few grams of sock yarn.



Warm poncho in a universal size
Finally, here is another top-down raglan design for grown-ups. After all, they also want to start autumn dressed nicely and warmly. In the picture, you can see that you can wear it in 2 different ways.

Raglan is my favorite because I don’t have to sew or work from a size chart.
I determine the right size by trying it on as I go.

You can find your size for the following designs the same way:

Hanten - knitted in stockinette stitch on the back and with a lace pattern on the front.
Ideal if your back gets chilly and you prefer it airy at the front.



This crochet sweater is my favorite piece.

The pattern is kept simple so that the color gradient of the yarn cake really stands out.



For fans of crochet dresses, I have Sagoromo.
With the subtle color gradient, Sagoromo has an understated look.

Crochet pattern sweater "Max or MaximaThis sweater is perfect for the coming cooler days, and the pattern is easy and quick to crochet.
As a top-down raglan, it has the perfect fit for every size. Everything can be adjusted to any women's or men's size. You can make it cozy and warm with a collar or as a regular pullover version.

The amount of material needed depends on the hook size/yarn weight and the sweater length, so it can vary greatly.
Light blue example in the shop: size S/36

• Without collar = approx. 1800 m – 4-ply yarn (300 m of that for each sleeve)
• With collar = approx. 2050 m – 4-ply yarn (300 m of that for each sleeve)
  For each additional double size (40/42 – 44/46.....), plan for at least 300 m more yarn each.-
• 4 stitch markers
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn (here hook size 3.5 mm)

Raglan is my favorite way to knit sweaters and cardigans. It has a lovely fit and no seams. These models for children and dolls will bring you joy.


I knitted this colorful little raglan dress for my 2-year-old granddaughter, and she loved it right away. Even now, at 3 years old, it still fits. Next year she can keep wearing it as a tunic. The little dress is knitted from thin cotton yarn, so it’s perfect for summer. In fall, she can wear a shirt underneath.

The same little dress is also available for a doll (50–58 cm) in a matching look. It’s just as easy to knit as the children’s dress,

This onesie for teddies or dolls (25–35 cm) is also knitted top-down with raglan shaping—in one piece. I used leftover Drops recycled cotton for it.

I'd be happy to show you some of my raglan models.
They are all started at the top, so they are worked as RVO . (RVO = raglan from the top).
You begin at the neckline and work downward without seams, fitting all sizes.
It hardly gets any easier, and the pieces fit perfectly.
While knitting or crocheting, you can make adjustments directly to your body shape and try it on right away to see whether it fits.

Lina’s Favorite Sweater III
is knitted with a small rolled-edge collar and a cable to represent the raglan line.
This raglan line is especially suitable for warm sweaters.
The hem and cuffs are also knitted in a cable pattern, giving the sweater a pretty look.

Here you can see a sweater knitted from sock yarn. Here you don't have to pay attention to any pattern: it comes straight from the skein. A matching hat can also be knitted.
