Crochet Striped Raglan Sweater Tutorial

Hello again! I'm so excited to share with you all my new crochet sweater pattern! It is a striped raglan sweater using three different colors: cream, pink, and brown. Please note that I made this sweater using my own measurements. If you want to make it smaller or larger, then you can do less or more rounds than I did. It was a fun project for me and I hope you enjoy this tutorial!

Project Level:
This pattern uses some intermediate technique such as color changes and working in rounds. I do go over every single that I do, so it is possible for more beginner crocheters to complete this sweater! This patter is made all in one piece, so there is no sewing involved. However, we will be attaching yarn to the piece often.

Stitches:
Slip Knot (sk)
Chain (ch)
Half Double Crochet (hdc)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Double Crochet (dc)

Materials:
- Weight: Medium (4)
- Fiber: 100% Acrylic
- Approximate total length: 800 yd / 730 m
- Approximate total weight: 14.8 oz / 420 g

Darning/Tapestry/Yarn Needle
Scissors

Dimensions:
Sleeves - 33 cm/13" long x (16 cm/6.3" - 7 cm/2.8") wide (measured from underarm to end of ribbing)
Body - 44 cm/17.3" long x 34 cm/13.4" wide (measured from top of collar ribbing to bottom of body ribbing)

Tips:
- Try on the sweater every now and then while making it to check the sizing
- Tighten your slip stitches to make the seam smaller and less visible
- The chain 2 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a double crochet
- Pull your loose ends to the inside of the sweater and weave them in (or leave them hanging!)

Thanks for watching!

I am size 2XL and I made this sweater, here are some tips:

1. For the ribbings she doesn't mention this but is best if you use a smaller crochet hook or else it will look a bit wonky, I am still thinking of redoing mine.

2. Follow the same steps all the way to the armpit section, THAT is when sizes change, as I mentioned I am 2XL and instead of a chain of 5 I did 25, she looks like she is a size M maybe ? So maybe go for 5 chains more per size? Always make sure to keep trying it on, and that is not too tight around the armpits, once you know how many chains is comfortable for you, ( just remember to keep an uneven number of chains here for later), then just keep the rows for body going as normal.

3. SLEEVES, in my size after I did 25 chains in armpit I first tried to follow the same as in the video but just as she mentions there was some extra fabric I didn't like there, so instead I followed the first round of 2 DC decrease, but then on round 2 I did again another 2 decreases on each corner and then round 3 I did only 1 DC decrease, and same 1 decrease until round 8 and then just let that be normal DC no decreases for me, til the end, when you get to the ribbing for sleeves, maybe try SC and then the ribbing w again a smaller hook.

Mine took me 5-6 skeins of 240m yarn, and that was 4 colors, body and sleeves (2 white, 2 dark green and 1 orange, ribbing is 1 brown) I also did my color switching in blocks of 5 white, 5 orange, 8 dark green, repeated twice.

Hope this helps! ❤

I know you posted this quite a while ago, but I just wanted to thank you for how thorough and clear you were at explaining your process and how to complete this pattern. This was my first project after not crocheting for about a year and I immediately was able to pick up where I left off because of how clear your tutorial was, so thank you!

[zoeestella]

This is the perfect pattern! Omg it fits so well. Already made 3 😍 Thank you for tutorials, they are always easy to understand and make. I really appreciate your work ❤️

[barbboran]

Great video. I so appreciate that you showed how to do the ribbing without having to turn the whole sweater. I have been crocheting forever and never knew! Thank you.

[chillin]

I've watched tons of crochet sweater tutorials and this is the best one yet! I might just have the courage to try this one!!

[taniayelton]

Thank you so much for this! This is the first video I have been able to see clearly with unpatterned yarn making it easier to understand!clear concise straight forward and at the perfect pace

[bojanasebo]

I LOVE this tutorial!! I feel like I can alternate it to my liking, try different kind of stitches as well, because now I know how it works. Thank you!!!

[nawhtetshwesinhlaing]

this video is so underrated. Your design turned out so beautiful. and I'm LOVING it. my best crochet so far.

[LacrimarvmValle]

After watching many tutorials, I'm going to follow this one this afternoon ❤ I've done countless amigurumis, C2C Graphgan patterns, but never a garment. Wish me luck 😅 and thank you so much for the video 🥰

Thanks for taking the time to make this sweater and video! Crocheting a sweater would be entirely faster (for me at least) than knitting one. Not that I have anything against knitting, I'm just not an experienced knitter. Lots of color possibilities as well with this yarn♥
