Raglan from the bottom up:

Knitting Pattern for a Striped Short-Sleeve Cardigan



(To purchase/download, please click the image)


Stripes are totally on trend. With a top underneath this comfortable-to-wear short-sleeve cardigan—shown here in cotton—a woman is always wonderfully dressed. And if it gets a bit cooler, a thin turtleneck can also be worn underneath.

The PDF pattern is illustrated over 23 pages.

These knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knitting stitches together, yarn over, emphasized decreases, and increases from the horizontal strand (explained with pictures).

Difficulty level: intermediate

Materials used here:
for sizes S to L in total approx. 450 g Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), 100% mercerized cotton, label information: 50 g – 125 m yardage, needle size 2.5 – 3.5,
gauge: 26 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm with the following color distribution:

  • Blue 100 g
  • White 100 g
  • Dark green 150 g
  • Light green 100 g
Depending on the size, more or fewer yarn leftovers per skein will remain.

I used here: knitting needle size 3.5, 3 stitch holders and 1 cable to put the stitches on hold, stitch markers and row counter (not absolutely required), pins for blocking, tape measure, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Crochet Pattern Cardigan/Jacket Raglan XS/S/M/L/XL

This beautiful jacket is crocheted from the top down (raglan).
It can also be worn nicely as a short-sleeved jacket. I also explain in great detail how the sleeves are crocheted, with lots of pictures.

Contents of the pattern:
Materials - abbreviations - gauge - information on sizes XS/S/M/L/X
small crochet school - lots of pictures

The measurements for this sweater are not simply based rigidly on standard sizes. Every body is individual. Since we crochet the jacket from top to bottom, the jacket can be adjusted completely individually.

Materials
  • ONline Cora Linie 20 needle size 4-5
  • Colors stone gray (approx. 500 g), black (approx. 200 g) and white (approx. 50 g)
  • Crochet hook 5.0 (or as desired)
  • Sewing needle/darning needle
  • Scissors 
  • Buttons (6 or as desired)
What will be crocheted?
  • Chain stitch
  • Turning chain
  • Single crochet
  • Double crochet
  • Slip stitch
  • Crab stitch
I have described everything in my pattern in great detail and also tried to explain every technique as well as possible. In the pattern I crocheted and illustrated size L (40/42).

Even beginners can give this jacket a try. And if you have any problems, I’ll be very happy to help.

Crochet Pattern Kids’ Short-Sleeve Raglan Granny Sweater (Ages 3–12)
The sweater for slightly cooler summer days—or evenings.
I have explained my pattern in great detail and step by step.

Even beginners can crochet this sweater with my pattern.                  
With the many pictures, you can always compare your result directly.
My pattern includes information for sizes 96/104 to 146/152,so for children ages 3 to 12. 
This beautiful children’s sweater is crocheted from top to bottom and almost in one piece. Thanks to its granny pattern, it is still quite airy despite the somewhat thicker yarn. 

Materials
  • Pro Lana Joker (turquoise, gray, and white) 50 g/87 m yardage, approx. 300–400 g total 
  • Crochet hook 4.0 mm (or as desired)
  • Sewing needle/darning needle
  • Scissors
What you will crochet
  • Chain stitch
  • Slip stitch
  • Single crochet
  • Double crochet
  • crocheting in rounds

Yours, Doreen
