Terrazzo

My Terrazzo sweater is finished just in time for the fall season.

This is a worsted weight top down knit sweater designed by Petite Knit.

The yarn I used is mYak in Baby Yak Medium.

mYak is an ethically sourced fiber born in Tibet and crafted in Italy.

Baby Yak is a worsted-spun yarn that is lightweight and feels luxurious knit up.

I love the naturally dyed heathered tones they offer – in particular, mustard, which is the colorway I chose for my sweater.

The sweater is designed to include approximately 5.5″ positive ease. I knit mine in XS and had plenty of yarn left over to make a matching hat. I’m still not very good at gauging how much yardage I actually need for my size. I don’t mind having the extra skein though – I’d rather that than have anxiety playing yarn chicken!

Here it is!

The turtleneck, hem and cuffs are knit in twisted rib.

The pattern called for a particular bind off that I’m not familiar with and was too impatient to learn.

Can’t remember if I went with just a regular bind off or JSSBO but either way, very happy with the results!

My favorite design element has to be the shoulder shaping!
