Hey y’all,

I know this isn’t exactly what this sub is meant for, but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. Please let me know if this post breaks any rules.

I’m currently free handing an amigurumi dog (as I couldn’t find a non AI pattern I like) and I’m writing all the steps down so I can make another one down the line. Since I couldn’t find a good pattern, others probably can’t either, so I figured that maybe when I’m done writing it I could get it tested and upload it to etsy and/or ravelry.

Do any pattern writers have any tips/tricks to writing a good, easy to understand pattern? Do any pattern testers have things they’d like to see included/excluded more?

Hi all,

I am looking for a tester for my ‘Miffy with accessories’ written crochet pattern.

'Miffy with accessories' crochet pattern

If you would be happy to help me out, I would be happy to provide you with the fully edited pattern once it is ready to go.

You will need:
White chenille DK (double knitting). I used Yarnsmiths chenille DK in ‘White’
Black yarn for mouth detail - I used a cotton yarn
DK yarn (not chenille) in colours of your choice for the bow, flower and hat
4mm (G) Hook
Toy stuffing
2 safety eyes - 8mm diameter
Yarn needle
Stitch marker
Scissors

It is a fairly simple pattern containing SC, HDC, inc, dec, HDCdec and BLO SC.

I would like you to carefully follow the pattern, checking that each round and row is correct, and provide any constructive feedback that you have along the way. Also, a photo of your finished work would be gratefully appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from you if you can help.
Thank you.

Enjoy the middle of the summer with this pattern drop!

I wanted to create a pattern with the combination of typical summer vibes! I hope you guys will enjoy it!

Thank you so much to everyone who tested it! Make sure to check out their work!

Hi everyone! This pattern drop is for all the fellow DnD fans!

I wanted to create something cute and cuddly so of course I had to create my take on the owlbear! 😄🥰 If you followed my work so far you know that I love combinations anyway so an owlbear is just the perfect fit!

A big thank you to all the people who helped me test the pattern to make sure it's as good as it can be!

Hi everyone! My next pattern is for the fellow bookworms!

I'm looking for people to test my pattern and help find any errors and mistakes! Feel free to use any colors that you like and to add any of your personal touches and details to the blank pages if you'd like! I considered adding some details on it but I felt like it might be a good idea to leave it blank for people to personalise it, maybe based on their own favorite books!

Please be able to provide 1-2 clear photos of your finished pillow that I can use in my tester appreciation posts when the pattern is released!

The testing deadline is July 29th!

Planned pattern release is July 30th!

I’m designing a colorful C2C (corner-to-corner) car blanket made from individual squares for my son’s bed, and I’m looking for a few crocheters to help test the pattern! 🚗 🌈

• Four colors of medium (#4) worsted-weight yarn
• 5.5 mm hook recommended
• Yarn brands, colors, fibers, and hook sizes may be substituted

I set a goal for myself to create 2 doll base patterns this year - one fully articulated, the other only partially articulated. This is my progress so far on the partial doll, there are a few small things I'd like to change (like a smaller thigh gap, and bigger feet) but I am so excited with this progress overall! I welcome any suggestions while I keep working on her😊
