Minuit Cowl

Job type	Test knit
Description	Please only apply for this test, if you agree to all the requirements. MINUIT is the French word for midnight. When I designed MINUIT, I wanted to make a cowl that accentuates the beautiful and dark hand-dyed yarn that I got on a yarn festival once. The lace texture of MINUIT really brings out all the lovely colors of indie dyed yarn. The yarn I used is a 100% merino wool, which is very comfortable to wear since it is super soft and light. I love to wear my MINUIT on late evenings in the end of summer when it slowly gets cold, but still is way to nice to go inside.

Requirements from the maker	Please only apply if you agree to these terms: You can meet the given deadline. It is okay to use other yarn than the one used in the pattern, as long as get gauge. For this pattern I highly recommend a hand-dyed yarn similar to the one I used, because this cowl will really accentuate the varigated colors. Do not make changes to the pattern without contacting me first. Please create a Ravelry project page for your test knit and link it to the pattern using the given Ravelry pre-release code. To do that, the code must be entered in the projects "pattern name" field. Add at least two photos of your finished object to your project page. The photos should be taken outside during daylight and show the worn finished object. Pictures of the item on a hanger or such and photos taken inside do not meet the requirements, but can of course be added as additonal photos. That also applies for progress pictures, which I always like to see in Ravelry projects. I would very much appreciate if you gave me feedback on my pattern. Was there anything that you found hard to understand? Did you find any errors or spelling mistakes? Was there any information missing that you would have found helpful?
Rewards from the designer	When this test is done every tester will get the updated version of the pattern.
