Burda 09-2010 #121 Turtleneck

I've been in love with this top since I saw Karen's versions of it. I used the Fabric.com Cotton Baby Jersey Knits in the rose color. It's not usually a color that I am drawn to but I really like it in this knit.

The pattern is a great basic. It's a cut-on turtleneck with sleeves. As with all Burda knit tops, I made a size 34. This pattern only goes down to a size 36 so I graded down one size. I will make this again but probably with a different knit. I love this one but it doesn't quite have enough stretch. It's really tight to get over the neck. And next time I make it, I'll make sure and down notch the back turtleneck facing because I'll be damned if I can figure out which is the front and back of this thing. I tried it on the other way and there were lots of wrinkles which is why I think this is the way it is supposed to be. I think the neck wrinkles on this top kind of go with the style.
