ROSTOK WITH NEEDLES? IT DOESN'T GET EASIER!

I share my little secrets.

The rise - the difference between the length of the back and the length of the front (4-6 cm for an adult). It is essential to knit for the perfect fit! ? 1. Determine the knitting density based on the sample. For me: 1 stitch = 1 cm, 6 rows = 5 cm ? 2. Cast on 60 stitches on circular needles: Bust (56 cm) + 4 cm (for ease) = 60 cm ? 3. Subtract 4 stitches for the raglan: 60-4=56 ? 4. Divide 56 into 3 parts: back (19), front (19), and 2 sleeves (9+9) ? 5. RISE 5 cm = 6 rows will be knitted in turning rows (3 times back and forth with knit and purl), so the sleeve is also divided into 3 parts (2 or 3 stitches each, at your discretion). ???? The diagram intentionally shows THREE points, not two, to clarify the turning points of the knitting (thanks to @_lukanat_ for the good question about dividing 9 stitches into 3 parts)???? ? Left sleeve - points 1, 3, 5; right - 2, 4, 6. ?The numbers indicate both the order of knitting and the row ?subtract 3 (!) stitches from the back, now there are 16, and in front 19+3=22. We will knit only the back and sleeves, remembering to increase on the two raglan lines. ? As a result, for the back we will get 22 stitches = 16+6 (3 times 2 stitches on the raglan line). Hooray! It matched the number of stitches in front???? ? 6. So, we start knitting starting (raglan line) 1st row: yarn over, 16 knit stitches, yarn over, 1 raglan stitch, yarn over, 3 sleeve stitches (point 1 on the diagram), turn the knitting ? 2nd row: slip 1 stitch to the right needle, knit all stitches purl 3 on the sleeve + 1 raglan + 18 on the back + 1 raglan + yarn over + 3 on the right sleeve (up to point 2), turn the knitting ? 3rd row: slip 1 stitch to the right needle, 3 knit stitches, yarn over, 1 knit stitch, yarn over, 18 knit stitches, yarn over, 1 knit stitch, yarn over, 6 knit stitches (up to point 3), turn the knitting. And so on, knit rows 4, 5, and 6 in the same manner. ? We increase stitches before and after the raglan only in knit rows (odd rows). ? 7th row, we knit in the round, passing all 4 raglan lines. ? Done!

I have tried many different methods, this one is the simplest and clearest for me
