Chalice Cowl* Test Knitting Specs

The Chalice Cowl* is a sport-weight, beginner-friendly colorwork cowl. It uses 3 colors but only 2 colors are used at a time for stranded colorwork.

This test knit is a secret test, meaning photos and discussion may be shared within the testing group but not on social media or any other public forums.

TEST DATES:

July 11, 2022 - August 14, 2022

This test knit will be hosted on Slack.

Applications will be considered based on your responses, portfolio, and level of experience for this given project.

The test will begin on Monday, July 11, 2022, when a fully tech-edited pattern will be sent to testers who have completed a gauge swatch.

Testers will be selected by Tuesday, July 5, 2022 and invited to join the Slack channel. They will then have a week to purchase yarn, swatch, and otherwise prepare to begin test knitting!
