Terrazzo Sweater Junior

The Terrazzo Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down, first back and forth on the circular needles to shape the neckline, and then in the round on the circular needles. The yoke is constructed by first knitting shoulder increases on the knit and purl sides. Then sleeve increases are knitted, and finally a section with raglan increases is knitted. The large polo collar is knitted last from the picked-up stitches, and twisted ribbing is knitted. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. 

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

Size Guide

The Terrazzo Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 15 cm relative to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years correspond to a bust measurement of around 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). If the child, for example, measures 59 cm around the chest, you should knit size 5-6 years. A sweater in size 5-6 years has a width of 74 cm and will give a positive ease of 15 cm in the above example. If the measured bust measurement deviates from the age guide, you should be mindful to adjust the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
