Please find the information below regarding the Cynthia sweater Test Knit.
A versatile cardigan, effortless to match with almost anything. Fitted shoulders, classic fit, minimal round neck, and crochet buttons that are integrated into the design using the same yarn are the main features of this design.
The cardigan is worked top down. First, the back yoke is worked flat, shaped with increases. The fronts are done separately before picking up and knitting the sleeve stitches along the shoulders. At this point, the yoke and sleeves are shaped using the contiguous method. The sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round.
The button band and neck is worked by picking up the stitches. And the buttons are crochet made.
About the Test Knit
The test knitting and final project must be featured on your Instagram, for this, it’s necessary to have a public Instagram with knitting related photos.
The test knitting is run in Google Docs so having a gmail is necessary.
When signing up for the test, it essential to have a good communication and feedback.
Please follow as closely to the pattern instructions as possible. The cardigan must be finished by the deadline date, along with the final form ( I create a survey, so you don’t have to send me your notes). If you cannot meet the deadline, let me know asap. If you don't finish your test on time it affects the whole team behind the production of this pattern and it involves intense re-scheduling.
All comments, suggestions, and questions will take place in Google Docs.
Chosen test knitters will be contacted in the upcoming days. Also, I will put a message on my stories to let you all know.
