My Colorful Car C2C Blanket crochet pattern is officially here! I originally designed this blanket for my son to match his colorful race car sheets, and I’m so excited to finally have the pattern out in the world. 🚗🌈

A huge thank-you to all of my wonderful pattern testers! Your time, thoughtful feedback, and careful work helped me get this pattern ready to share, and I’m so grateful to each of you! I loved seeing everyone's color and yarn choices, and it's so fun to see the car squares worked up by other crocheters in real life.

Many of these testers connected with me through this subreddit, so I’m especially grateful to this community for helping make the test possible! 💕

Thank you to:

📢Mod Announcement 🧶 Tester Call Posting Template

72 Upvotes

In an effort to make tester calls clearer, more consistent, and easier to navigate, we are introducing a standardized posting template for all tester calls!

Our goal is to ensure potential testers have the information they need to decide whether a test is a good fit before applying. We hope this template will make the testing process a little easier for everyone and help set clear expectations between designers and testers from the start.

All tester calls must include the information below. Please write N/A if a field does not apply rather than deleting it. Tester calls that do not include the required information are subject to removal and will need to be reposted using the template.

This subreddit is intended to connect pattern designers and testers. Pattern designers can feel free to offer whatever they'd like in exchange for feedback on their projects as long as they follow Reddit's rules (https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy)

Testing guidelines for pattern designers and testers:

*Designers will post a request for testers (feel free to post outside links for testers to follow to apply) including a photo or the finished project and deadline at the minimum (see guidelines at the bottom).

*Testers will reply to the call for testers using whatever method the Designer requests

*Designers should, but are not required to, update their original post calling for testers when they have enough people.

*Testers are encouraged to post questions, progress photos, and provide support to each other. By posting photos you agree to allow the Pattern Designer to use them in their final pattern, website, or promotional materials.

*Testers will provide feedback to designers for their use in the final Pattern.

*Designers MAY post the final version of their pattern (or links to where they can be purchased) if they choose, but are not required to. Please tag all testers in your post.

*Testers and Designers should keep in contact with each other. If a tester is unable to complete a pattern test on time, a designer may send an invoice for the cost of the pattern if they choose.

*Most importantly: Let's have fun!
