What types of patterns to test?
For my latest Space Set, I need a couple of pattern testers to help me with it! There are 6 parts in total, so I may need that number or more to help me. Do note, I will be using US terminology and each pattern tester will only be testing one section, not the full set - so it should work up pretty fast.
What is involved in pattern testing?
It involves crocheters having access to my patterns (without paying) to test if the pattern makes sense and is easy to follow, and in the process, proof-read for mistakes so that when it is launched, everyone can participate in it with minimal difficulty! I really appreciate it when testers put in time and effort to work up my patterns!
Is there a deadline?
Unfortunately, yes I do have one, preferably within 3 weeks of me sending the pattern, because I do have a timeline for the release and I would ideally bring everyone’s feedback on board to make it better. So for this set, it is by the 3rd week of April.
How can I help?
Please make recommendations to me for easier understanding of the pattern, as well as proof read for mistakes (I’m only human!).
Also, to take photos of final pieces under natural lighting and allow me to use them, of course with relevant credit back to the tester, including links back if requested!
Not forgetting, be willing to share back on your own social media platforms whichever platform it may be.
Can I test this pattern if I am a beginner?
This set of patterns are easily done by beginners but if you have difficulty with finishing it on time, because you have to figure out crocheting and reading amigurumi patterns, then this test might not be suitable for you. You might want to consider trying out this free doll crocheting challenge to get an idea of my base dolls or check out this blog post on amigurumi pattern reading first before you sign up for any pattern tests.
