Terrazzo Slipover

This pattern is in Danish.

The Terrazzo Slipover is knitted from the top down. First, the back is knitted, then the shoulders, where the front is picked up to form the front piece. The back and front piece are joined under the armholes to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles and divided at the bottom with a slit on each side. Finally, ribbing is knitted along the armholes, and the roll-neck is knitted out from the picked-up stitches along the neckline. The stitches in the ribbing are knitted in reverse so that they appear with a distinct stitch definition.

Knit a gauge swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. Wash the gauge swatch before measuring the gauge. If you are knitting with the recommended yarn, you should be aware that it grows a little in the wash? Therefore, it is important that you wash the gauge swatch before measuring the gauge.

Size Guide

The Terrazzo Slipover should have a movement allowance (positive ease) of approx. 13 cm compared to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL 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 slipover are indicated on the front of the pattern. Note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is followed. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A slipover in size S has a chest width of 103 cm and will in the stated example give a movement allowance (positive ease) of 13 cm.
