Official call for testers for the Ivy Wrap! 🧚
Timeframe: 16 weeks, ideally running from the last week of May to the first week of September for an Autumn release
Overview:
The Ivy Wrap is a raglan worked flat, from the top down, with yarn-over increases and a slight belle sleeve. It features a double-knitted colorwork vine motif bordering the garment, and a fern lace motif/crochet picot edge bordering the sleeves. First, the yoke is knit, and then the work is divided for the sleeves. The strap is also knit to length, either before or after the body, then attached at the bottom hem to live stitches. The remaining length of the strap is knit, then stitches are picked up around the entire neckband and the double-knitted vine motif is worked again. The beginning and end of the button band are then sewn to the bottom, and the sleeves are knit.
