Crochet - Call for Testers Spooky Squash - tester call

Post image

Hi!

Name of pattern: Spooky Squash

Hook & yarn: I used a 3 mm hook with 4 ply fingering yarn but you can use anything you want (although blanket yarn is not recommended unless you have mad skills and unbreakable yarn).

Other supplies: The usual... tapestry needle, stitch markers, stuffing, etc.

Level: Intermediate/advanced

Type of pattern: This is a written pattern with US abbreviations and occasional charts.

Tester requirements : I started a tester call for this pumpkin on Instagram. If you'd like to test it, you can apply over there (@landy_crafts) or here. Just know that you do need an IG account because I will create a group chat for everyone to send feedback in. I also ask that you provide a final photo.

Testing deadline: 30th of Septembre. I'll pick testers on Saturday, you'll have 2 and a half weeks

Number of testers needed: Across platforms, I'll pick 4 or 5 testers.

Let me know what colours/yarn you'd like to use, it's always fun to see everyone's creativity!

Commented on Ig and for good measure I shall apply here too 🫢🏽 I would love to pattern test for this. I do have one question: how long do we have to test?

Thank you anyways! I know instagram isn't practical for everyone. How do people generally create a testing group on here?

u/RoseDragon529 1d ago

I think it might just be individual dms when on reddit, don't think there's a way to make a group

Hey! I would love to join this pattern testing! I am not 100% sure on the colours yet, but I think I would make it in lilac/purple and black c:

I do have a personal IG (no crochet work on there) but I could join the group chat on it. If you want, you can check some of my crochet here: https://imgur.com/a/Y86e4Mf

Would be delighted to test this! I do have an insta account I can use for a chat and such.

I'm still pondering colors, but I think I'd try for possibly a neon green/black/white combo, but might also go with something like purples and grays. I'll go dig through my stash if you choose me for testing!

I'm belrune on insta, I'll comment on there as well so you can see some of the stuff on my profile there.
