Terrazzo Neck Junior - PetiteKnit

Terrazzo Neck Junior is knitted from the back piece up towards the shoulders and down over the front piece. An opening for the head is knitted, where stitches are picked up for the turtleneck collar. Terrazzo Neck Junior is shaped like a square on the back and like a trapezoid on the front.

The pattern uses the techniques of Italian cast-on and Italian bind-off.

First, knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. Wash the swatch before measuring the gauge.
