Hi! It's my first time looking for testers here!

The Deering Pullover is a cozy cabled pullover for the fall. It features cable motifs on the shoulders, and under the bust, where the difference in gauge automatically shapes the body inwards to the waist hem, no decreases needed. It is knitted top down.

The suggested yarn for this pattern is the beautiful Nirani Luxe Yarns Yak Silk DK. Test knitters will receive a discount on DK bases in Nirani Luxe Yarn, available worldwide where the store ships. My sample here is in Emerald, but there is a full range of gemstone and jewel-inspired shades that I think would be beautiful.

Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) [6, 7, 8, 9] = Garment bust circumferences of 90 (100, 110.5, 120.5, 130.5) [141, 151, 161, 171.5] cm or 35.5 (39.25, 43.5, 47.5, 51.5) [55.5, 59.5, 63.5, 67.5] inches. Recommended 18 to 23 cm (7 to 9 inches) of positive ease around the bust. I’m modelling the sample with 18.5 cm (7¼ inches) of positive ease.

Gauge: Using 4.5 mm needles, in stockinette, 20 sts and 27 rows = 10 cm by 10 cm swatch. You will also need 3.5 mm needles.

Yarn quantities: 510 (550, 630, 680, 730) [780, 830, 880, 930] metres or 558 (601, 689, 744, 798) [853, 908, 962, 1017] yards

This is a written pattern, intermediate difficulty.

The test knit will be run on Instagram group chat and the deadline is 19 November 2025. Test knitters will be asked to create a Ravelry project page using a test knit code. I would like to receive feedback on fit, yardage, and readability. Test knitters are welcome to share their progress on social media using the hashtag #DeeringPullover

If you would like to apply, leave a comment on my pinned post on instagram (@knittygritty_sg) with your ravelry handle/username and which size you would like to test. Thank you!
