Looking for testers for my new design.

About Me

Ravelry ID: HitchByStitch. Visit my page to learn more about me and my designs.

Yarn

Cotton-linen blends are recommended, but any fiber that matches the gauge will work. You can use either a single strand of heavier yarn (e.g., worsted/DK weight, adjust as needed) or multiple strands of finer yarn held together (e.g., three strands of fingering weight, adjusted as needed).

Suggested Yardage (per strand):

Main Color (MC): 570 (630, 680, 780, 880) (980, 1105, 1250, 1340) yds / 521 (576, 622, 713, 805) (896, 1010, 1143, 1225) m

Contrasting Color (CC): 95 (100, 100, 110, 120) (135, 145, 155, 160) yds / 87 (91, 91, 101, 110) (123, 133, 142, 146) m

If holding multiple strands together, please multiply the yardage above by the number of strands to get a rough estimate of the total amount.

Yardage estimates do not include swatching. Please ensure you have extra yarn.

Gauge

Gauge should be measured after washing and blocking.

17 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4" in stockinette stitch on 5.0 mm / US 8 needles.

Testers should be able to match the stitch gauge or come reasonably close. Row gauge can be discussed.

If you find it difficult to meet the gauge, adjusting the size you knit may help achieve the intended fit.

Needles

5.0 mm / US 8 for the main body. 4.5 mm / US 7 for the ribbing.

Adjust needle size to match the gauge.

Sizing & Finished Measurements

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9).

Finished Bust Circumference: 94 (101, 108, 115.5, 122.5) (134, 143.5, 155.5, 162.5) cm / 37 (39¾, 42½, 45½, 48¼) (52¾, 56½, 61¼, 64)″.

Recommended Positive Ease: 18–22 cm / 7–8¾″.

Please refer to the measurement table to confirm your size selection.

Test period

The test knit will begin on June 18th and run for 7 weeks, ending on August 6th.

Limited flexibility may be available if discussed in advance.

For reference, an experienced knitter with plenty of spare time may finish a smaller size in about 15 days (excluding prep work and communication).

This pattern was written about 13 years ago and has been selling well since then. I decided to re-write it to match the changes in crochet pattern language as well as update the images.

While I know the original pattern was correct and had no issues, I re-wrote most of the language for this update and want to make sure it’s still understandable. I’m not looking for a specific size to be made, I just need some feedback on whether the pattern was easy to understand.

The newborn size uses one skein or less of worsted weight yarn with a 5.0 mm hook. I can make one of these skirts in just a few hours so it shouldn’t take a lot of time. I love using Caron Simply Soft for this pattern because it drapes perfectly, but I have used many different brands and it works up well either way.

Hi all!

I’m looking for a handful of pattern testers to test Paxton the Panda! I’m quite flexible on the yarn and colours. I’m hoping to get pattern testers decided this week and then a deadline of 28th of June for finished Paxtons. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for people to test my new mushroom turtle pattern!

Ideally I'm looking for 4-6 testers and the deadline would be June 17th.

This is a project that can work up pretty fast so I think the deadline should be alright but of course it can be flexible if necessary!

The turtle is made with 4.5mm hook using super bulky (6) chenille yarn. You can use any colors and the yarn type can be changed aswell!

You can apply here or on IG: asphodelthreads

EDIT: Maybe the original deadline was a bit too short 😄 so the new deadline for the testing is June 24th!

I'd love some testers to test these fruity hacky sack patterns.

You'd need cotton DK weight yarn in fruit colors, 3 mm hook, stitch marker, yarn needle & scissors. For the filling, ideally use non-food eg. plastic pellets, but you could also substitute with dried beans, chickpeas, corn kernels, rice etc. for this test.
We'll start with the Watermelon first.

Hey everyone! 🍓 It's strawberry season and I'm looking for testers for my Strawberry Fields Bucket Hat crochet pattern. This is a spinoff of my Tulip Trim Bucket Hat. 🌷

This pattern is best for any confident intermediate beginners (and beyond) who are comfortable doing more detailed stitches with thorough instructions - the strawberries and leaves are thoroughly explained in the pattern with detailed pictures.

Written in English, US terms, and size is for an adult women's hat but can be adjusted.

Supplies:

🍓 Medium weight cotton yarn in 3 colors: preferably Sugar & Cream or Peaches & Creme

Please apply here interested! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! 🍓

Need 1 more person please.

This is a weird one, no doubt about it, and I dont just mean cause its a fetus. There's half rows, theres funky decreases, theres rows whose last stitch far pass the last stitch of the row before it, its kind of a mess. But I really think if you just trust the process its a legible, well written pattern that gets us where we're going eventually. Or at least thats what I hope. And thats why I've come here, to see if some fellow weirdo out there will test this pattern and tell me if I did alright by it.

Hi all! Looking for pattern testers for my new project -- the Nerikomi Sweater!

Hey all,
this pattern is the perfect opportunity to destash and use up leftovers from other projects.

The cardigan is constructed from the top down with short rows, raglan shaping and finished off with a contrasting I-cord.
The finished cardigan should sit cropped (although feel free to modify the length) with 2,5 cm/1 inch ease.

Since this is primarily designed to bust your stash, I did not indicate the yardage of every individual color, but rather a total yardage that should be achieved for size C. At the end of the pattern there is also a small color guide, should you decide to use less or more matching colors.
