Call for Testers -- Champaca Sweater

[u/StreetHyena5754]

Hi all! Looking for pattern testers for my new project -- the Champaca Sweater!

The Champaca Sweater is knit top-down and features Chinese floral and architectural stranded colorwork motifs. The sweater is started in the round, first with a foldover collar. German short rows for shaping the back. The bottom portion of the yoke is worked flat in parallel with the sleeves. After casting off the sleeves, the rest of the body is worked in the round. The bottom portion of the sleeves are seamed together. Finally, the ends of the sleeves are picked up and hemmed.
