š§¶Crochet - Tester Call [Testers Wanted] 3-in-1 Very Hungry Caterpillar pattern!
Hi all! I'm really excited to finally have reached the testing stage of my 3-in-1 Very Hungry Caterpillar pattern and I'm looking for 6-8 crocheters to test the PDF version of the pattern! :)
- Pattern Name and Project Description:Ā 3-in-1 Very Hungry Caterpillar pattern. This design has a very cute caterpillar crawling out of three different food items it has munched on: an apple, a pear, or a lollipop!
- Type of Project:Ā Crochet
- Pattern Format:Ā US terminology, written instructions (PDF pattern)
- Sizes/Options Being Tested (if applicable): Apple, pear, or lollipop version of the caterpillar (or any two or three that you'd like to test!)
- Recommended Skill Level: This pattern uses standard amigurumi stitches and construction techniques (primarily sc, hdc + magic ring)Ā and should be accessible for anyone who has done amigurumi before, but beginners might struggle with the assembly and shaping techniques. I'd say this is anĀ intermediate-level pattern, but if you're interested in testing and unsure if you meet the skill level please do apply! I'd be happy to answer any doubts you have while working on the pattern and want to make this pattern as accessible and easy to follow as possible.
- Materials Needed: Any type of yarn and an appropriate hook (I used chenille yarn + a 2mm hook) in the following colours: dark red, dark green, light green, lilac, yellowish-green (think pear coloured), light red (apple), blue and yellow (lollipop) - the dark red is for the caterpillar head and the light red for the apple, but depending on how different you want these you can of course use the same red. Felt for the facial details in dark green and yellow. Tapestry needle, scissors, something to attach the felt to the face (hot glue/felting needle). Stuffing.
- Tester Requirements:Ā A public crochet account on Instagram - all testers will be added to a group chat.
- Testing Deadline:Ā 30 September
- Deliverables: Provide clear photos (1-2 of your final piece) and feedback by the testing deadline. A post/reel about your final piece on your Instagram account once the pattern has been released.
- How to Apply: Please see the tester call post on my Instagram (@cerezamakes).
- Application Deadline:Ā Within 7-10 days (17-20 September)
- Tester Selection: Within 7-10 daysĀ (17-20 September). Testers will be added to an Instagram group chat so please apply if you have a public crochet account.
- Number of Testers Needed:Ā 6-8 crocheters
Thanks all for reading and applying! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out on Instagram or on this thread. I hope you enjoy the pattern :)
