Number of testers needed: XS and L to 4XL are still available.

Hi! So I designed my first sweater and recently finished knitting up my size (M-100cm bust), and I've been wanting to start working on a pattern for sizes XS to at least 5XL (about 80 to 150cm bust range).

​

I'd be looking for test knitters around mid July, with a beginning of October deadline, and my priority is making the pattern as inclusive as I can so I'd appreciate feedback especially on that!

​

I'm in the process of taking pictures of the sweater when worn (just waiting for a sunny day!) but you can find a sneak peek here 🫣

​

Don't hesitate to DM me if you're interested!
