Looking for adventurous beginners to test knit my luna twist top. It is a chunky 6 st cable knit top that has a small side slit and ties together at the shoulders with i-cord bows. It has intricate contrast trims made with alpaca silk and wool yarn - making a speedy project where you will learn a lot!

Test pattern will be sent via message as it is a PDF file.

Additional Requirements:

  • Communicate your progress with me once a week.
  • Create a journal with time stamps, including feedback on my pattern, message me with any questions so I can resolve problems as you test if needed :).
  • Upload at least 2 finished photos of your final luna twist top! Will not be posted anywhere without your consent.

Needles + Other Tools:

I used Hayfield Baby Blossom Chunky (100g/ 155m - 100% Acrylic) but you can use any yarn that meets gauge.

14st x 17 rows (10x10cm)

This is beginner friendly but adventurous! The skills you will need is cable knitting, but that’s easily learnable , increasing and decreasing as well as picking up stitches, there are also tutorials showing you how to do those things :) lmk if you change your mind! I will make some beginner patterns soon! xx
