If you’ve never crocheted a raglan sweater or top before, you are in for a treat. This might just be my favorite way to crochet sweaters or tops! The fact is that the technique has many advantages:

• when you crochet the from top-down, you will get a whole thing, it means without seams
• save valuable time without spending it on long and annoying stitching
• raglan allows you to try on the sweater at any time and adjust its size in the process of crocheting
• sweater sits perfectly on the shoulders, not forming folds in the armpit area
• the perfect technique for crocheting children’s clothes, because the sweater is easy to fit on the growth child, periodically unravel and extending its sleeves
