Bloodroot Tee: Tester Showcase
Thank you so much to all of the lovely testers who participated in the Bloodroot Tee test knit!!!
You can find detailed info about each of their projects below. This is a great opportunity to see the pattern worked in a wide range of yarns and modeled on folks of different shapes and sizes :)
FIT & SIZING DETAILS
This gender inclusive & size inclusive pattern is graded to 2 fit types with 10 sizes each.
Fit I is graded based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II is graded based on a traditional men’s sizing chart.
This tee is designed to be worn with 2-3” (5 - 7.5 cm) of negative ease at the bust/chest, which means the circumference of the garment is smaller than the body’s bust/chest measurement.
The pattern includes two body lengths, “cropped” & “standard” as well as two sleeve lengths, “cap sleeve” & “quarter-length.”
Testers were encouraged to choose whichever size would give them their preferred fit and modify the body & sleeves to their preferred lengths.
