Terrazzo Neck. Petite Knit. Knitting Pattern

This is a beautifully printed knitting pattern 
__________

The Terrazzo Neck is perfect for adding an extra layer of snuggly warmth under winter coats and blazers, but without the bulk!

The Terrazzo neck is knitted holding two strands of yarn together - one 8ply-10ply yarn and one 2ply/lace weight mohair silk.  It

is worked from the back, up and over the shoulder, and down the front. An opening is worked for the head, along the edge of which the stitches for the turtleneck collar are picked up and knitted. The Terrazzo Neck is shaped as a square on the back and as a trapezoid in the front.

In the pattern, the Italian cast-on and Italian bind-off techniques are used.

A great match for Nordica superfine merino yarn. or Prosper Ānene held together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze or Prosper Mint
