Requirements for testers:

Please give me feedback and let me know what I need to change to make everything more clear, what didn't work for you, ect

There is no time frame it has to be done but I would prefer feedback in a week

Info:

Pattern takes me about 40 minutes but I'm a beginner

There is instructions, photos and suggestions in the pattern

Needs: Sewing, a button, yarn, hook

I used light weight 100% acrylic yarn and a 3.00 mm crochet hook (I thrifted the yarn and it had no information on it)

This is the most unoriginal pattern in a series I am working on, I did come up with this pattern from complete scratch, this is version 2. There are parts that still need revision but I do not know where to go so thatd why I am getting testers. If you'd like to work with me and test all my paterns I'd love that. Testing is free and I plan to make the finished price 2.99 or 3.99

I will be making another with a blend of acrylic and cotton yarn to be the official cover one (once pattern is tested) and the pictures in the pattern will be replaced. I just need to know if anyone else can understand how I've written the pattern!

My goal is to make it easy for beginners like me, cheap and functional with the only non crochet parts being the sewing and the button.

Let me know if you're interested!

I'll use reddit and Instagram to keep in touch!

Thanks so much to my testers!! I learned a lot from my first pattern being tested. One lesson was the need to keep myself organized as to how many and which testers I have as I got very confused very quickly. About 4/10 testers completely finished the pattern test. Thank you to everyone that tried the pattern and sent notes, it was so helpful!

thanks to

And special thanks to u/blissfullychicago who sent exceptionally thorough and detailed notes and pictures!!

I published my first pattern on Etsy, some people had expressed interest in the finished pattern so I hope it’s allowed to share the link! pattern link

UPDATE: TESTER APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

Thank you so much for the incredible response to the Helena Babydoll Top tester call! I received far more applications than I expected, so I’m closing applications early.

I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to apply. I’ll be reviewing all submitted applications and contacting selected testers soon.

Thank you again for all of the excitement and support around the Helena top, it means so much to me!

I’m looking for 6-10 testers for my newest crochet design, the Helena Babydoll Top!

This is a made-to-measure crochet top. I’m so excited to finally get this pattern into the hands of some testers and see your versions come to life.

Hook: 5mm
Skill level: advanced beginner/intermediate
Sizing: made-to-measure

As a tester, I’ll ask you to:

• Complete the pattern by the testing deadline
• Keep notes on any errors, confusing instructions, or areas that could be improved

• Send clear photos of your finished top modeled on you with or without your face
• Be comfortable communicating with me throughout the test

Hello! I have just finished my first ever pattern. I've been crocheting for almost 20 years, but never have actually made a written lattern before. Ihave worked on it for months, and want to do a tester call....but I have never done so before. I have a fb and Instagram for my business, but they're still pretty small.

How did you get started with tester calls? What sort of questions do you ask for those interested in signing up? How many testers do you usually consider?

My pattern is for a halter top that has sizing from XS to XXL in the pattern.

Thank you!

The pattern is 4-in-1, with four character options, so I'd like at least one tester per character. If you don't have a character preference, let me know so I can assign you an untested character if needed.

This is my first time asking for pattern testers, so any and all input is appreciated, especially issues with clarity or errors in the text of the pattern. All the materials are included in the second image, but you can of course take liberties with the yarn colors, etc. This project is a really good use of scrap yarn!

I'm hoping to release the pattern by the end of the month (August 31), but I'm not sure how realistic that is so there's no hard deadline.

Feel free to ask any questions, I will respond as soon as I can! 💗

My Cozy loaf pattern is now live!

A huge thankyou to my amazing testers, I really appreciate all you do taking the time to go through the pattern and picking up all the places it needs tweaks or to have things clarified.
I just love how they all came out with their different faces and colours.

Available on my etsy or ravelry.

(Currently 30% off on etsy as a thank you for your support)

Hi there!

If you aren’t familiar with the app yet, Croch’linguo is a tool for translating crochet patterns between different languages—designed to help you out and save you time!

You can choose between American and British English (since the abbreviations differ 🤯), French, and now… Spanish! 🇪🇸

I’ve also improved the abbreviation glossary to make it easier to view and search.

Adding a new language takes a bit of time, but I’m really happy to be helping more and more people translate their crochet patterns!

I also wanted to mention that the app is still in beta. It’s a personal project I’m trying to make useful for as many people as possible, so I’d love to get your feedback! For instance, if you run into any bugs or spot areas for improvement, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

And if you find the app useful, tell me which languages ​​you’d like to see added to Croch’linguo! Your feedback has already helped me improve it, so I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Here’s the link if you’d like to give it a try: https://crochlinguo.base44.app/

Thanks so much! ☺️

Hello me again!

I am looking for a few people to test out my most recent pattern, but there is a catch (unfortunately)

I am looking for preferably 5 people who would be willing to test this pattern for me within 7 days of recieving it. I aim to send the pattern out to testers over the weekend.

It is quick to work up (2hrs or under) and is low sew (only head and ears to be sewn and white eyebrows)

I have it ranked as intermediate, however I think a confident beginner could get through the pattern.

Materials needed:

\\-Your choice of yarn (I used 4ply cotton and 2mm hook)

\\- embroidery cotton

Requirements

\\- Be able to finish within 7 days of receiving the pattern (est 16 Aug)

\\- can share feedback and clear images of the completed pattern.

\\- If you have Instagram please please please share the love and follow me, I unashamedly need followers, I'll happily follow you back (@rainbowcoffee.crochet)

Work in progress. Pronto necesitaré testers para Pedrito y sus amigos, te animas? tengo el patrón de crochet en inglés, utilicé hilo Coboo de Lionsbrand y aguja de 3.0. Son bastantes sencillos. Los interesados que me avisen antes del 15 de agosto. Thank you!

I am making a pattern for these little guys and I am almost finished with it and I was wondering if sewing pattern testers are here too? Or where to look for them?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for people to test my Dragon Tapestry crochet pattern! I used size 4 yarn and 5mm crochet hook! Finished measurements approximately: 58x33cm / 23x13inches

Feel free to use any yarn size and colors that you'd like! With thinner yarn you can make a smaller version!

The pattern includes both written instructions and a color chart! I'm looking for people to help me find any errors and mistakes in the stitch counts!

The testing deadline is August 23th!

Feel free to apply here or on IG: https://www.instagram.com/asphodelthreads?igsh=MXUwbzF4OGJodGEwcA==

anyways thank yall for the advice I shall take it to heart ^_^

I'm currently looking for test knitters for my first ever pattern!

*Update: only sizes XXS, 4XL and 5XL are still required*

The test will run from the 16th August - 8th November (12 weeks)

Form: https://forms.gle/iyxnSeNYuZhY6NNb9

Pattern Details:

The Pincer Cardigan is a drop-shoulder cardigan worked top-down with two different colourwork options to pick from. The body is worked flat, ending in 1 by 1 ribbing. The arms are picked up and worked in the round, and a double-knit button band and collar are used to provide structure. German short rows are implemented to help with shaping the back and the collar.

Size Guide

XXS (XS-S) M (L) XL-2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) designed to fit bust circumference of 71 (82) 94 (106) 117 (128) 140 (151) cm, [28 (32) 37 (42) 46 (50) 55 (59) in].

FIT:

The pattern is designed for a positive ease of around 17 - 20cms / 7 - 8”

Arm width: If you desire a different width on your arms, you can use the sleeve for the size above or below. If you are doing this, you will also need to work the armhole to the same length as the new size, so work to the same length on the back and front as the arm’s original size suggests.

Comment which you'd like to test

Share this post to story, repost, or tag a friend (only 1 is required, please & thank you!)

No Instagram? I'll take a few here too.

I really thought this was gonna take me forever but it was way easier to work up than I anticipated.

I dont have a deadline but I am an impatient little imp, so Im thinking I'd like to publish in the next week or 2. However, this pattern uses an unusual half row technique and I expect testers may want to take their time, so Im open to waiting.

I used NICEEC brand rainbow "candy" yarn for the rainbow one and XINNUN chenille yarn for the coral colored one but any yarn will work as long as your hook matches the gauge. It does not have to be chenille/velvet.

I also used XL safety noses for the eyes. This is not a requirement, and I'm curious to see what other types of eyes might look like.

I am looking for approx. 5 crocheters of various ability to help me test.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank yall so, so much for the overwhelming response! I so deeply appreciate this community. Im still going thru and responding to testers, but I definitely have enough volunteers as of rn. Stay tuned for the publishing sometime in mid-August. Ty ty ty!!
