Crochet - Full Testers needed

The Astromancer crochet skirt is ready for testing! I’m looking for 3-5 testers per zodiac constellation.

It’s mix and match, made to measure and requires intermediate level crocheting skills. The pattern includes written instructions, charts and traditional filet graphs.

Link to apply
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bbnNhXohyHkxbtj74Mfiez7QXbm_U_lav279vbx30pE/edit?usp=drivesdk

Testers will need to:

-Meet a deadline of October 31 2026
-Provide an update once a week in the discord group chat
-Provide photos including a minimum of 2 final high resolution photos of the skirt being worn and an optional video for reel if you would like
-Be willing to do a collaborative Instagram post after the testing phase has ended (if you don’t have Instagram that’s fine this is not a dealbreaker)
- at least one of the photos must be showcasing the zodiac constellation chosen in your application form.
-Grant me permission to use your photos in my posts (you will be credited in every post featuring your photos or videos)
You do NOT have to show your face if you prefer not to.
-Agree to credit me as the designer with a tag in all posts featuring the garment
-Fill out the tester completion form at the end of the testing phase

Materials needed:

+/- 2,500 yards of fingering or lace weight yarn cotton yarn (subject to change based on your size and yarn choice, I’m 4’9” and ~40” waist for reference)
Hook size: any size from 2mm to 3mm
Stitch markers

All testers will receive the complete finalized full bundle pattern with all constellation options and will be included and credited in the look book that will accompany the pattern pdf download.

This is beautiful and I'd definitely be interested. However, what sizes does the pattern come in? I'm usually too big for most patterns, so I figured I should check before applying.

u/Subject_Respond_5838 4d ago

This is absolutely beautiful and I would love to test but I couldn't get the yarn. Going to try and save all your info and post though so maybe I can come back when it is released to try and get to maybe eventually make it.
