Knitting simple stranded colorwork in the round - no need to trap floats. Maxiumum two colors per round.

K2, P2 ribbing

M1L increases

Wrap and turn short rows

Color dominance is important in this pattern. C2 should be dominant, meaning it should be carried underneath the other yarn on the wrong side of the work. For an excellent explanation of color dominance, see https://ysolda.com/blogs/journal/colour-dominance.

US 4/3.5 mm needles for knitting main body in the round, or size needed to obtain gauge

US 3/3.25 mm needles for ribbing

US 5/3.75 mm needles for colorwork

1 stitch marker

Stitch holder or scrap yarn to hold sleeves

Tapestry needle

    Scissors

KNITTING AND MODIFICATIONS: Please follow the pattern as written. If you think there is a mistake, please post in the Yarnpond chat thread immediately. If you would like to modify this pattern, you must ask permission via the Yarnpond chat thread. (I will usually say yes, but I need to make sure that the change will not affect the data I need from the test. Thanks!)

PROGRESS UPDATES: Please post in the Yarnpond chat tab for this test at least once per week, even if you have made little progress. I check Yarnpond at least once a day, usually in the morning before I go to work (Eastern time) and will try to answer any questions ASAP.

FEEDBACK: This test has a feedback form - you must complete it to be considered done with the test. The feedback will ask about yardage for each color - please weigh your skein(s) before and after the test, as yarn labels are usually inaccurate.

PHOTOGRAPHS: Please take good photos of your finished and blocked item, modeled on a human. Photo quality is important! Natural light is best.

SOCIAL MEDIA: If you are a member of Ravelry and are able to use it at this time, please create a Ravelry page during the test and put test code TEST-KK-3T3WKS in the pattern name. Pattern is scheduled for release in June 2022. It is okay to post pictures of and talk about this test on social media. Please use the hashtags #KinoKnits and #MegalithsTee and tag @kinoknits.

RATINGS: You may have seen that testers can earn star ratings on Yarnpond. When I am rating testers, I give 5-star ratings testers who complete the test on time, follow testing instructions (particularly about modifications), fill out the feedback form in full (including exact yardage used), and create a Ravelry project and link their test as instructed. If there is a reason you cannot meet these standards (for example, you don’t use Ravelry), please let me know before the end of the test; otherwise, I cannot give a 5-star rating. Thanks! 

Thanks! I can't wait to work with you!

The designer is offering discounted or free pattern(s) to testers

Testers who meet all the testing requirements above by the stated deadline will receive the final pattern in their Ravelry libraries or as a .pdf emailed to them, their preference. Testers may also choose another Kino Knits self-published pattern for delivery in the same way. Testers will be asked which pattern they want on the required feedback form.

The designer has created the following milestones, in order to keep track of progress during the test knit. By marking off each milestone as you complete it, you can easily keep the designer up to date with your progress.
