Terrazzo Neck - Paper
Terrazzo Neck is knitted from the back piece up towards the shoulders and down over the front piece. An opening is knitted for the head, where stitches are picked up for the polo collar. Terrazzo Neck is shaped like a square at the back and like a trapezoid at the front.
The pattern uses the Italian cast-on and Italian bind-off techniques.
