Galax: Tester Showcase
A wonderful group of test knitters helped me bring the Galax pattern to life! 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.
Galax is a sweet little summery tank featuring a simple yet striking lace motif.
You can check out the full pattern details, including a full schematic, on the pattern pages linked below.
