This pattern has 20 sizes from 3 months to a 70” finished chest circumference. I am only looking for test knitters for the adult sizes (size 32 and up) on this platform. The baby/child sizes already have enough testers.

Beautifully simple Woodsmoke is the basic round-yoke sweater of all our dreams. It is a well-fitting wardrobe staple and the perfect canvas for a gorgeous yarn. Woodsmoke is knit seamlessly from the top-down in the round. The circular yoke includes short rows in the larger child and adult sizes to lift the back neck. A cleanly fitted sleeve tapers to a fitted cuff. A wonderfully relaxing knit for a more experienced knitter, and the perfect choice for a first sweater for the beginner. This pattern is written at a gauge perfect for sport weight yarn or the very popular fingering weight held with silk weight mohair combination.
This sweater uses fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of silk mohair or a single strand of sport weight yarn. Testers can use whatever yarn they prefer. Using the same yarn used in the sample is not required.
