Pattern Testers Wanted for the Bluebell Bunny Amigurumi Doll!
Update: The Bluebell Bunny pattern is now available! Check out the free version (carrot bag) on my blog here.
Dear fellow crocheters,
I'm on the lookout for a couple pattern testers who can help me out with testing my newest design, the Bluebell Bunny!
If you're interested, please read the information below for the requirements of this test, and how to apply. (Don't delay, the sign-up form will be sent out to my mailing list on 11/10!)
What is pattern testing?
Pattern testing is big favor that I'm asking of interested crocheters to help me with, to make sure my pattern is well-written and clear before it gets published!I'm a beginner. Can I test?
While I love beginners, this project's level of difficulty is more suited for intermediate and advanced crocheters. I also have a tight deadline to meet, so I will require experienced testers for this. If you are a beginner, I recommend taking your time and starting with beginner-friendly patterns without having that time constraint. (Feel free to check out my free pattern page, which contains patterns that are mostly beginner-friendly!)Which materials are needed for this test?
- Medium weight (4) yarn
- 3.25mm crochet hook (or suitable hook for the weight of yarn you are using to avoid gaps in your amigurumi)
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Plastic safety eyes (I used 12mm eyes)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
What are you looking for in a tester?
Interested and experienced crocheters are encouraged to sign up! As a tester, you will be expected to do the following:- Finish crocheting this project in half a month. (Tester will be selected on 11/13 and the test deadline will be on 11/30.)
- Read and understand written patterns in US Terminology
- Proofread the written pattern for errors and typos
- Provide feedback about the pattern, such as recommendations for improvement
- Take clear photos of the finished product under natural lighting
- Allow me to share photos of your finished product on my blog and social media sites (I will credit you as the crocheter, of course!)
- Be willing to share the photos on your own social media (Facebook, Instagram), a crochet or amigurumi doll group page, and/or Ravelry
How do I sign up?
If you're ready to sign up to be a tester, sign up for Sweet Softies' mailing list (where I send out pattern testing opportunities and freebies) and watch out for an email coming your way on Wednesday, 11/9!
Thank you so much for your offer to help me, and I look forward to selecting a tester soon!
Best wishes,
