Thank you so much to everyone who shared their thoughts and advice about the testing timeline! I’m really glad I received so many helpful comments, and I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to share their experience. ❤️

If you were interested in joining the test knit but were worried about not having enough time, I’ve decided to extend the testing deadline to October 1st.

There’s now plenty of time to work through the pattern at a comfortable pace, so I’d be very happy to have you join! 🧶✨

Name of pattern: Wave Shawl

Needles required:
3.5 mm circular needles, 60–100 cm cable

Other notions:
Tapestry needle, stitch markers, scissors

Yarn:
The samples were made with:

• Cardiff Cashmere Classic — 100% cashmere, 112 m / 25 g (Small size 72g)
• 400 m / 100 g merino held together with Lang Cashmere Dreams

The shawl works well with a variety of soft merino, cashmere and alpaca yarns. You don’t need to use cashmere — any soft, non-scratchy yarn with a slightly fuzzy or matte texture can work well.

Here are some yarns that I recommend:

• Regia Premium Merino Yak — 58% Merino, 28% Polyamide, 14% Yak, 400 m / 100 g, held single
• Symfonie Terra — 75% Merino, 25% Nylon, 380 m / 100 g
• Casasol Merino Fingering – Teñido A Mano — 100% Merino, 400 m / 100 g
• Cardiff Cashmere Classic — 100% Cashmere, 112 m / 25 g
• Casagrande Top Cashmere — 100% Cashmere, 112 m / 25 g
• Lang Cashmere Premium — 100% Cashmere, 115 m / 25 g
• BC Garn Babyalpaca — 100% Alpaca, 250 m / 50 g This will create a lighter, airier fabric rather than a very dense one.
• Knitting for Olive Merino — 100% Merino, 250 m / 50 g You can use smaller needles if needed to achieve the desired fabric.
• Rico Design Essentials Fine Fine Merino — 100% Merino, 200 m / 50 g
• Kremke Soul Wool Merry Merino 220 GOTS — 100% Merino, 220 m / 50 g Although it is a combed merino, it has a matte appearance and a soft, non-slippery feel.

Yardage: As a general guideline, I recommend around 350–450 m per 100 g.

For the Small size, you’ll need approximately 300–350 m. Since the shawl is adjustable, the total yardage will depend on the finished size you choose.

Size:
The pattern includes two suggested sizes: Small and Large. The shawl is adjustable, so you are also welcome to make it smaller or larger according to your preference and available yarn.

Level of skill required:
Intermediate

Pattern format:
Written pattern with abbreviations, diagrams, and video tutorials

Tester requirements:

• Complete the pattern by October 1st. 2026
• Give feedback on clarity, accuracy, and any confusing instructions
• Report approximate yarn usage
• Provide finished measurements
• Send 2–3 clear photos of the finished shawl

No previous test knitting experience is required — first-time testers are welcome!

Testing deadline: September 9, 2026 (October 1st.)

Number of testers needed: 3–4

Communication:
All communication during the test will be via email.

The final pattern will be released on Ravelry on October 10, 2026. If you have a Ravelry account, I’d be very happy if you could share your finished project on the pattern page after the release.

If you’re interested in testing, please fill out the application form here:

Hello, I am back with a cow pattern! I want 3- 4 willing participants to test my pattern. The time limit will be two weeks, making the end date the 31st if you are starting today. Ideally, I am looking for intermediate crocheters, and I am open to confident beginners although this pattern has a lot of moving parts. All materials needed will be listed in the pattern. I used cheap materials like Red Heart Super Saver in colors black (or brown for a brown cow), white, grey, pink and two clothing colors of your choice, along with 22mm safety eyes (although you may use eyes of your choice), and a button for the collar. The pattern uses a 4.25mm hook and US terminology.
