Jasmine Sweater

Job type Test knit
Description

The Jasmine Sweater is worked bottom up in two panels for the body. The sleeves and neck are worked in the round.
It uses chunky yarn, so it knits up fairly quickly.

Size S has already been tested and feedback has been collected, but I'm still looking for testers for the remaining sizes.
