• Swatch and ensure you knit the pattern precisely at the correct gauge.
• Testers are welcome to modify the yoke depth, body length and sleeve length at the points specified in the pattern. 
• Create a Ravelry project and add at least one modelled photo by the deadline.
• For the deadline, I am happy for testers (especially for larger sizes) to finish the body and one sleeve to check the fit if this makes a difference to you managing the deadline.
