Whiteowlcrochetco. Engine 9 Sweater

Choose What You Pay: I will be using a “Choose What You Pay” model for this pattern, allowing both financial accessibility and fair pricing. The buyer may pay what they are able while still valuing the hard work invested by myself, my testers, and other designers.

The price listed reflects what I believe is fair for the work put into this design. Use the codes below in order to pay the price listed after each. Choose whichever price works best for you!

WHITEOWL1 - $6.50CAD (32% off, Approx. $4.93USD)

WHITEOWL2 - $7.50CAD (21% off, Approx. $5.69USD)

NO CODE - $9.50CAD (Approx. $7.20USD)

NOTE: Due to tester incompletion, sizes 11 and 17 are untested as of July 2019. Should you wish to knit these sizes, I would be happy to refund the pattern amount for the first few knitters on a “tester” basis, or provide you with a coupon code for a free second pattern.

Additionally, outside v-neck/shoulder decreases were added post-test (to ensure sleeves actually begin on the shoulders, not halfway down the bicep as evident in some tester photos) for sizes 6-17 and are therefore also untested. The math for this was doubled checked by several testers, although they were not physically knit.

Engine 9 is a bottom-up v-neck sweater partially worked in the round and partially worked flat. This sweater is knit mostly seamless; a 3-needle bind-off (or Kitchener stitch if preferred) is used to seam the shoulders. Seventeen sizes are available. No ease is included. Size up for positive ease or down for negative ease.

In addition to a generous size range, this pattern also includes multiple customization features including:

• Hood: Hood or no hood
• Body : Cropped or full length
