Terrazzo Sweater - PetiteKnit

The Terrazzo Sweater is knitted from top to bottom, first back and forth on the circular needle to shape the neckline, and then in the round on the circular needle. The yoke is constructed so that shoulder increases are first knitted on the right and wrong sides. Then sleeve increases are knitted, and finally a section with raglan increases is knitted. The large turtleneck collar is knitted last from picked-up stitches, and ribbing with twisted stitches is knitted. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size guide

The Terrazzo Sweater should have a positive ease of about 14 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Note: these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size suits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a chest circumference of 104 cm and will in the mentioned example give a positive ease of 14 cm.
