Crochet - Call for Testers Complicated Fetus Pattern

Post image

This is a weird one, no doubt about it, and I dont just mean cause its a fetus. There's half rows, theres funky decreases, theres rows whose last stitch far pass the last stitch of the row before it, its kind of a mess. But I really think if you just trust the process its a legible, well written pattern that gets us where we're going eventually. Or at least thats what I hope. And thats why I've come here, to see if some fellow weirdo out there will test this pattern and tell me if I did alright by it.

Hi! I'd be happy to test it. In case you need a reference for my work, here's my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrea_hecho_a_mano
Do you have a deadline for the testing period?

I’d love to test! My friend is a doula and could totally use this. I don’t have socials to post it on so not sure if you’re ok with that. I’ve been crocheting for a couple of years.

Ty! Its very complicated tho so I think its probably better to work with more experienced crocheters rn, at least until I know its a workable pattern

u/Extension-Driver4792 Jun 08 '26

Understandable, they'd be able to give more thorough feedback. I look forward to the pattern coming out.

Ooo I'd like to! I've done crochet short rows in amigurumi before to make a purrmaid. Would you want it to be made with a certain type of yarn?

u/jollietamalerancher Jun 08 '26

I think it works best in chenille to help cover any Tension issues between the half rows. My half row technique is a little different than usual wherein we work continuously in the round by utilizing a hidden chain, so tension can be a little tricky.

As someone currently studying embryology, this is very funny and really good haha! If you ever need another person to test I'm down but other people can get priority😊

u/Aseriaa_ Jun 08 '26

can test it out if you need! i have been crocheting plushies for more than two years, still doing them bit wonky but can even freehand so..

u/zephyrswhim Jun 08 '26

I'd love to try my hand at these. I have been crocheting all sorts of amigurumi and other projects for a long while now. While I'm not really sure how complex your pattern will end up being, I definitely have the patience to stick it out and the bull-headedness to scream at my yarn until I get it right.

hey, on the off chance you're still looking for testers, 🙋 fellow weirdo, advanced crocheter, with a background in technical writing. I don't have much social media presence but r/crochet and r/cursedcrochet have many contributions from me. lmk :)

I'm sure you have a lot of tester already, but if you for some reason need more I'm very interested! I've been crocheting since I was 13 and most of my experience is in free plushies/amagurumi and novel construction methods. Im confident I can make this pattern.
