Belmullet Pullover: Tester Showcase
I had a wonderful group of knitters test knit the Belmullet Pullover! I am so grateful to every tester for their valuable feedback that helped me improve the pattern.
Check out the details about each of their projects below. This is a great opportunity to see the pattern worked in a wide range of yarns and modeled on folks of different shapes and sizes.
This pattern is graded with two fit types, with Fit I based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II based on a traditional men’s sizing chart. Be sure to scroll through all the Fit I versions to get to the Fit II versions!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Based on tester feedback, the neck circumference was decreased for Sizes E-J for both fit types and the collar pick up rate was altered to get a better fit for all sizes. The tester versions do not include this change.
WE’RE HAVING A KNIT-A-LONG!
Make a Belmullet Pullover of your own along with other knitters, and have the chance to win fun prizes! You can find out more here.
