Yarnpond
| Job type | Test knit |
| Description | A comfy and cute baby sweater, knit flat and mostly in garter stitch. The recommended yarn weight is worsted on 5mm needles, which makes for a fairly quick knit. In the original pattern, two colours are used but adventurous or more skilled test knitters are invited to experiment with more colours if they feel like it. I'm especially interested in beginner knitters or people who are more experienced knitters but have never made a pullover before. This pattern is meant for people with just a little experience in knitting and I'm curious to see how they will do with my pattern. When the test knit is done, there will be a step-by-step video tutorial published on YouTube. |
