The Lodge Sweater - Testing

The Lodge Sweater is now ready for testing! A great textured stitch highlights a simple, modern silhouette. With thick bands of ribbing at the neck, cuff and hem, this casual sweater will remind you of a favorite sweater you stole from the ex-boyfriend. 

Tons of warmth come from the waffle stitch pattern. This is a thick and cozy sweater perfect for the coldest of days. Or for running around on a brisk day with no jacket! 

Worked from the top-down, the sweater is a simple pattern that showcases that great waffle stitch. The waffle stitch takes a little extra time to get used to, but once you master it the knitting will go quickly. Plus, just look at that texture - totally worth a little extra time!

If you would like to help pattern test this sweater, head on over to Ravelry and join up with the Free Pattern Testers group. Then you can sign up for the test on my thread - here. I'd love to have you! :) 

Deadline for the test to be done is March 1, 2016... so keep an eye out for the pattern to be released shortly after!

Please consider adding an optional section to your pattern for those of us who love your pattern but prefer a higher neckline--less possibility of straps showing or slipping on one's shoulders. I thought I was in the minority on this issue but yesterday this issue came up in my LYS social knitting group and there was consensus that boatnecks look good but don't function well. Thanks!

Thanks for the input Doreen! I am always happy to hear suggestions such as yours. I will look into it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it on this pattern, but will definitely keep it in mind for the future! ;) Thanks again - so good to hear from you!
