| Job type | Test crochet |
| Description | This cardigan is worked top down with raglan shaping. There is only seaming for the sleeves. It's worked entirely in single crochet, at a loose gauge of 12 sc over 4 inches, so it works up really fast. There is waist shaping for a flattering fit, and the sleeves are 3/4 length. There is a range of sizes to fit between 32' and 68' chest circumference. The smaller sizes were tech edited in a previous publication, but the larger sizes have just been added, so these sizes have not yet been tech edited. |

| Requirements from the maker |
I ask that testers please be communicative about anything confusing that comes up during the making of the sweater, so I can revise the pattern if needed. Please give weekly updates on the status of your project, even if it's only gathering supplies, or a few stitches worked, I want to know you haven't forgotten about it and are still intending to work on it as time allows. Please create a Ravelry page and link it to the already existing Blissful Bookworm Cardigan pattern page, and share about your pattern test on social media while working on it, and once the test is complete using the hashtag #BlissfulBookwormCardigan Please keep track of how much yarn is used and let me know how many yards or grams (preferably both) of yarn you used to complete your sweater. |
