How To Crochet Raglan Turtleneck
Materials Needed
- Weight 4 yarn (check the video description for the specific yarn used)
- 4mm crochet hook
- 5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Steps to Create the Crochet Turtleneck
Step 1: Chain Foundation
- Size Selection: Start by choosing the size you want to make. For an extra small, chain 92 stitches.
- Circle Formation: Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle, ensuring it's not twisted. Chain up two.
Step 2: Initial Double Crochet and Shell Stitch
- Double Crochet: Begin with a double crochet in the first chain for 12 stitches if you're working on an extra small.
- Shell Stitch: Skip one then work a shell stitch: three double crochets, chain two, three double crochets in the next stitch.
- Continue Double Crocheting: For extra small, proceed with 16 double crochets, then another shell stitch. Follow the pattern for your selected size.
Step 3: Complete the Initial Round
- Repeat the Pattern: Continue alternating double crochets and shell stitches as detailed above until you complete the round.
- Slip Stitch: Finish with slip stitching into the first double crochet, not into the chain two space to keep seams straight.
Step 4: Continue Building the Yoke
- Chain and Turn: Chain two and turn your work, double crocheting into each stitch, increasing before and after each shell stitch.
- Repeat Rounds: Continue building up to a total of 11 rounds for extra small. Adjust according to your size requirements.
Step 5: Create the Body
- Double Crochet Only: After creating the yoke, double crochet in each stitch with no increases around the body.
- Divide for Armholes: Place three double crochets in each chain two space. Skip the shoulder section and connect to the other side of the yoke.
Step 6: Add Ribbing to the Body
- Switch Hook Size: Switch to a 5mm hook for the ribbing; chain up 13 for the ribbing length.
- Single Crochet: Work single crochets in the back loop only, back down to the body.
- Attach: Slip stitch into the next two double crochets, turn work, and repeat ribbing till complete.
Step 7: Create the Sleeves
- Attach Yarn: Between three double crochet groups from the dividing round, attach yarn with a 4mm hook.
- Round Sleeves: Double crochet around, maintaining length desired (ex. 21 rounds for ¾ sleeves).
- Finish Sleeve with Ribbing: Use the same ribbing technique as the body but chain eight.
Step 8: Turtleneck
- Attach Yarn: At the back seam, near the chain two, switch to the 5mm hook.
- Chain Formation: Chain 31 for a turtleneck, working single crochets back down.
- Ribbing Style: Repeat ribbing technique for a snug fit.
