Pine Warbler: Tester Showcase
I am so grateful to each and every Pine Warbler tester for joining me in my first sweater test knit! Feedback from testers helped improve the pattern and my test knitting process.
Check out their versions below to see the sweater on different body shapes & sizes and in a variety of yarns.
Note: This was my first sweater test knit, and once I received the first few feedback forms I decided to update the questions to include ease at bust/chest & bicep, so this is why this information is omitted for some testers.
Check out the full pattern details on the Pine Warbler pattern page, including a full schematic!
