Terrazzo Sweater - Paper

The Terrazzo Sweater is worked top down, first back and forth on circular needles to form the neckline, then in the round on circular needles. The yoke is constructed so that shoulder increases are first worked on the RS and WS, then sleeve increases are worked, and finally a section of raglan increases is worked. The large polo collar of the neck is finally worked from open sts, and rib is worked with twisted sts. The sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique.

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

Size guide

Terrazzo Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 14 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL 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 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are stated on the front of the pattern. Note: 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. If you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A sweater in size S has an upper width of 103 cm and in the above example will give a positive ease of movement of 13 cm.
