Uhhhh I am blushing and happy I could make you smile and enjoy a topic which is perhaps a bit newer to you. The raglan shape has a really interesting history. And this special form I am currently knitting is very new. It uses the diagonal seams but without seaming. It is knitted in one piece from the top-down which is very convenient as you can try it on while knitting.
The older/different way to knit is to knit all pieces like back, fronts and sleeves flat and then sew them together. The advantage is, that you can transport the single pieces better and that you can tailor the sweater easier. But because I am lazy, I prefer the top-down raglan style: much faster :-DDDD
Thank you so much for reading and for your lovely comment 🌈💕
