Tywardreath

Job type Test knit
Description

Tywardreath is a tee worked from the bottom up in the round to the armholes, featuring a lace panel on the front. The garment is narrower at the waist and increases as you reach the bust. The work is then split and worked in rows on the front and back. Note that the pattern is slightly different here across the size range so the intended cross back is reached and the cap sleeves should (hopefully) reach the same part on the arm for all sizes. The shoulders have a long shaping slope to give a relaxed look and are seamed with mattress stitch.

Testers can use whatever DK yarn fits gauge - I've given below the sample yarn if that's helpful to sub.

Please note - this pattern was published in a magazine last year and because of this I'm happy for you to post on socials etc but you don't need to say it's a test. After getting my rights back from the magazine I have made some changes to the pattern and have put it into my own template, so I need to make sure it reads nicely and is easy to follow, the sizes come out as intended and have some projects (with hopefully positive notes!) up on Ravelry for when I self publish it in April.
