I have done this many times, using the raglan pattern in Knitting From the Top, available in braille from BARD.
Connect the circle on a knit row, because you will continue with all knits when you are in the round.
There's usually a bit of a gap to be filled when connecting the piece to be knit in the round, closing up the front.  I cast on the number of stitches I need to close the gap, then keep going the same direction, thus joining the 2 pieces.  
I cast on the stitches using either the cable cast-on or the good old backward loop, nothing fancy.
If this isn't clear, I can talk you through it on the phone.  Shouldn't take long.

Hi all,

I have begun work on making a raglan sweater. The pattern begins at the back of the neck and stitches are addedfor the shoulders, and the right and left front. This section is knit flat. Then the center stitches are added all at the same time and the circle for the neck is closed.
I am ready to close the circle, but I’m not quite sure how to do it. I have only begun a circle from the beginning of a pattern. 
Should I add the front stitches on the knit or purl row? Should I increase and immediately knit around? If so, how to increase and be certain the right side is on the outside. 
I tried adding knit stitches to the end of a knit row.so then I should purl, but I couldn’t figure out how to connect the circle by beginning with a purl stitch. Hmm, perhaps I  need a refresher on how to connect a circle. <sigh> I ask these questions because I tried this once already and had the sweater inside out. When I attempted to tink back, I dropped stitches, and could not get them back. So I’ve begun again. This time I will await advice.

Thanks for any help.

May God bless you.
 Cathy F
