How To Divide The Sleeves Of A Baby Sweater

The method of splitting sleeves for baby sweaters mainly involves the following steps:12

Starting and basic knitting: First, determine the number of starting stitches according to the size of the baby, the thickness of the wool, and the tightness of the knitting. For example, you can start with the collar, knit the edge of the collar first, and then count the minute stitches. When splitting stitches, subtract the number of tendons used for the raglan sleeves from the total number of stitches, and the remaining number of stitches is then allocated according to the needs of the front and back pieces, sleeves, and other parts.

Split-piece knitting: After knitting the collar, start split-piece knitting. Usually, the number of stitches is divided into three parts, one for each front and back piece, and one or half for the two sleeves, depending on the design requirements and the complexity of the sweater.

Adding stitches and connecting: During the knitting process, add two stitches every other row at the four places where the sleeves connect to the front and back pieces as needed, until the depth of the sleeve cage is knitted. After that, the front and back pieces of the body and the sleeves are knitted together to reach the required length.

Sleeve knitting: The knitting method of the sleeves is similar to that of the body. Usually, the sleeves can be connected by picking up the number of stitches added at the body connection. After knitting to the sleeve length, you can knit the placket as needed, usually two stitches in one stitch, so that the placket is smooth and beautiful.

Details: During the knitting process, pay attention to details, such as knitting the collar part, reducing the stitches of the sleeve part, etc., to ensure the appearance of the sweater is neat and beautiful.
