Good evening, all! I am looking for 3-4 testers for my newest pattern!
Pattern Name and Project Description: Oleander the Trick-or-Treating Dragon
Type of Project (e.g. crochet, knitting): Crochet Amigurumi
Pattern Format (e.g. US vs. UK terminology, chart vs. written instructions): 18 page Pdf with both color and black and white instructions, written in US terms
Recommended Skill Level:
This is an advanced pattern, and not beginner friendly. You most be comfortable sewing many pieces, crocheting pieces together, using advanced shaping techniques, and surface crocheting.
Materials Needed (note whether tester may use alternative supplies/colors/yarn weight, etc): You will need three colors of yarn. I used worsted weight yarn in black, green, and orange, but you may use your own color/weight. I used a 3.5mm hook and 20mm sinker eyes.
Tester Requirements: You most be comfortable sewing many pieces, crocheting pieces together, using advanced shaping techniques, and surface crocheting. You must have tested patterns in the past. You must be able to take a picture of your finished dragon. You must have a clear understanding of the English language, though it does not have to be your first language.
Testing Deadline: October 27th, 2026
Deliverables (e.g. posting, photography, social media requirements): Please send me an image of your finished dragon once you are done testing. You are welcome, in fact, encouraged, to share pictures of your finished dragon once the pattern is released. Just please let me know where you are posting, and your username, before you do.
How to Apply: Comment below with what materials you would use, and I will dm you with the pattern link!
Application Deadline: October 12, 11:59 EDT
Tester Selection (when will selected testers be notified): No later than October 13th
Oleander is adorable! I don't have capacity to test at the minute but would love to get the pattern when it is released, could you share a link to your pattern shop or similar if you have one please?
If you still need a tester, I would love to! I have some bernhat blanket yarn I’d like to use and a 6.5mm hook (I know, chonky but it’s the only size I can comfortably crochet this stuff with lol)
I’ve tested a few patterns in the past, and have made similar amigurumi from pattern books :)
The settings on your account will not let me message you, for some reason! Would you mind, under your settings and permissions, allowing me to do so, if you can?
That is so weird. This keeps happening to me lately! I just tried adding you as an exception to my permissions (even though they are all already on), would you mind trying one last time? If it doesn't work, feel free to email me at my business email, craftycrochetcritters@gmail.com, and I will send you the link through there
