Terrazzo Slipover - Paper
The Terrazzo Slipover is knitted from the top down. First the back piece is knitted, then the shoulders, which are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The back and front piece are gathered under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles and divided by a split at each side at the bottom. Finally, rib edges are knitted along the armhole, and the polo collar is knitted from open stitches along the neck opening. The stitches in the rib are worked twisted, so that they appear with a distinct stitch definition.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. Wash the swatch before measuring the gauge. If you knit in the recommended yarn, you should be aware that this will shrink slightly in the wash – so it is important that you wash the swatch before measuring the gauge.
Size guide
Terrazzo Slipover should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 13 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement measured 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 vest are stated on the front of the pattern. Please note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is adhered to. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A vest in size S has an upper width of 103 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 13 cm.
