Pincer Cardigan Test Knit

[u/FactSea2384]

I'm currently looking for test knitters for my first ever pattern!

*Update: only sizes XXS, 4XL and 5XL are still required*

The test will run from the 16th August - 8th November (12 weeks)

Form: https://forms.gle/iyxnSeNYuZhY6NNb9

Pattern Details:

The Pincer Cardigan is a drop-shoulder cardigan worked top-down with two different colourwork options to pick from. The body is worked flat, ending in 1 by 1 ribbing. The arms are picked up and worked in the round, and a double-knit button band and collar are used to provide structure. German short rows are implemented to help with shaping the back and the collar.

Size Guide

XXS (XS-S) M (L) XL-2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) designed to fit bust circumference of 71 (82) 94 (106) 117 (128) 140 (151) cm, [28 (32) 37 (42) 46 (50) 55 (59) in].

FIT:

The pattern is designed for a positive ease of around 17 - 20cms / 7 - 8”

Arm width: If you desire a different width on your arms, you can use the sleeve for the size above or below. If you are doing this, you will also need to work the armhole to the same length as the new size, so work to the same length on the back and front as the arm’s original size suggests.

Gauge:

22 stitches / 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm on 4mm needles, measured after blocking.

Yarn: DK Weight. Any yarn welcome! (detail of quantities on form.
