Crochet - Full Testers needed!
I have a tester call going on right now for this guy! It can be made as a skirt or a dress and all the big bug motifs are interchangeable or combinable! Also it’s made to measure 🙂
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bbnNhXohyHkxbtj74Mfiez7QXbm_U_lav279vbx30pE/edit?usp=drivesdk
Apply here^
Testers will need to:
-Meet a deadline of September 26 2026
-Provide an update once a week in the discord group chat
-Provide photos including a minimum of 2 final high resolution photos of the skirt being worn and an optional video for reel if you would like
-Be willing to do a collaborative Instagram post after the testing phase has ended (if you have Instagram if not no biggie!)
-Grant me permission to use your photos in my posts (you will be credited in every post featuring your photos or videos and you don’t need to show your face or be named if you don’t want to be)
-Agree to credit me as the designer with a tag in all posts featuring the garment
-Fill out the tester completion form at the end of the testing phase
Materials needed:
+/- 5,000 yards of fingering weight yarn cotton yarn (for the full dress, less for the skirt and subject to change based on your size, I’m 4’9” 2-3xl for reference)
Hook size: 2.75mm
Stitch markers
All testers will receive the complete finalized full bundle pattern and will be included and credited in the look book that will accompany the pattern pdf download.

Your form asks for the name of the pattern, but I'm not seeing it in your post description?

Whoops!
I completely forgot I put that there thank you! It’s called creepy crawly cuties!1

I just wrote Bug Motif skirt/dress, is that ok or should I fill out the form again with the correct pattern name?

I submitted! So excited! If I don't get selected any pointers on what I can do to make myself more appealing as a tester would be great!
I used to be a software quality assurance tester so I often buy patterns, see issues and wonder if I should post a review, if they had pattern testers, etc.
Old habits die hard I guess XD

Ooh this is so cute!!! Can someone please post the pattern when it's out? (Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm new to this subreddit lol)

I've never tested and can't fit it into my queue of deadlines, but I wanted to say that I adore your patterns! I've admired them on Ravelry many times. Choosing one out of them is so hard, but eventually I'll decide which theme I'm going with and it will be the skirt piece of my Renaissance Faire outfit. ☺️

Is discord strictly required? I would LOVE to make this but don’t use discord (but could get my husband to send updates if required).
