I appreciate your interest in the Sweet Escape pattern and the test knit process!
Sweet Escape is meant to be a sweater you can settle into and enjoy knitting at a comfortable pace. The relaxed shape includes a gentle A-line body with plenty of hip ease and modified drop shoulders, giving the finished piece an easy, natural drape. The stitch pattern is simple to follow and easy to remember, with frequent resting rows that keep the knitting calm and steady.
Worked flat from the bottom up and seamed, the construction adds just enough structure while keeping the fabric soft and flexible. With 11 sizes included, Sweet Escape is designed to fit comfortably across a wide range of bodies and become a sweater you will reach for often.
The Sweet Escape has been fully tech-edited.

The test knit will take place on Discord, a cloud-based messaging platform. Once you're accepted, I'll email you an invitation to join the Discord group, where you can download the PDF directly.
