Everyday Tank Top: Open call for testknitters

Calling all knitters! Are you ready to try your hand at a fun and beginner-friendly pattern? We’re looking for enthusiastic test knitters to help perfect the Dancing Dices Shawl—a simple yet elegant project perfect for all skill levels.

This symmetrical triangle shawl features regular increases along both edges and the center, with a charming checkered texture created using only knits and purls. The versatile design works beautifully with a wide range of yarns, from cozy blends like wool, alpaca, or baby yak to lightweight options like cotton—so you can truly make it your own.

The finished model measures 220 x 85 cm (87 x 33”), but don’t worry if you like to mix things up! You can easily customize the size by adjusting the length of the pattern blocks to suit your style.

If you’d like to be part of this creative journey and provide feedback on the pattern, we’d love to have you on board! Ready to join the fun? Get in touch to apply as a test knitter today!
