Quilted Sweater Testknit

Testknit closed

Hi everyone!

I am looking for testers for all sizes for a circular yoke pattern with quilted lattice stitch. I have developed with pattern with yarn by mYak.

Test starts beginning of november and finishes end of January (for Vogue Knitting Live New York). All communication about the testknit will take place on my Ravelry Forum Page.

If you would like to participate in this testknit send me an email to juliawilkensdesigns[at]gmail.com

Quilted is a circular yoke sweater knit from top down. The quilted lattice stitch is a fun and easy slip stitch which creates a beautiful net-like layer on top of the main color fabric. While working the yoke the number of slipped stitches is gradually increased. These slipped stitches are bundled into groups with each one yarnover. This way the contrast color strand is gradually elongated to reach over a growing number of knitted rows and “net” widens as the length of the yoke increases. The strand of contrasting color is held double throughout the yoke to accentuate the quilted lattice stitch.
