Terrazzo Sweater

Terrazzo Sweater is a nice thick sweater. It is knitted from top to bottom. first back and forth on the circular needle to form the neckline. and then around the circular needle. The support piece is constructed as follows. that shoulder increases are knitted first on the right and wrong sides. Next, sleeve openings are knitted. and finally knit a piece with raglan removals. The neck's large turtleneck is finally knitted from gathered stitches and the rib is knitted with turned stitches. The sleeves are knitted 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 knitting strength.

Size guide

The Terrazzo Sweater should have a range of motion ( positive ease) 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 given on the front of the pattern Note: These measurements only apply. if the knitting strength is observed. Measure yourself. before you start knitting. to assess which size. that will suit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body). should you knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an excess width of 103 cm and in the mentioned example will provide a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 13 cm.
