The easiest way to propagate raspberry is from the suckers that they produce. Carefully dig around the sucker and lift it together with the roots and plant them on. You could also divide large clumps.

Another way is to take softwood or semi-ripe cuttings and put the cutting into a gritty compost, but in my opinion propagation by division works best as you already have the root system.
