I am making a bottom-up seamless sweater, and I have joined the sleeves to the body and knit a few rounds. I haven't made one of these in a LONG time, and I'm not following any pattern.
1) When you are knitting an adult bottom-up sweater, how many inches do you typically knit before beginning your raglan decreases?
2) For my raglan decreases, I'm planning to k2tog/ssk on each side of all markers on every other row. Is my thinking correct on this? Are there other numbers that you prefer for making raglan decreases?

Fri, June 6, 2008 - 5:26 PMIn answer to 1) see knitty.com/issuefall07/PATTneiman.html, a bottom-up raglan that says to work between
which says to work between 13 and 16.5 inches before raglan decreases (depending on size).
www.thedietdiary.com/knittin...ter.html is a calculator for folks wanting to knit a bottom-up raglan...
Good luck! (and what are you doing knitting if you can't sew due to hand stress?...not that its any of my beeswax). -
