I’m looking for up to 10 advanced crocheters to test my Boney & Bright Stocking pattern! This spooky-meets-festive stocking is a fun project with some more advanced stitches and techniques that beginner crocheters may not be familiar with, so I’m specifically looking for testers who are confident reading and following crochet patterns and are comfortable working through a bit of a challenge.
The stocking is made using medium (4) weight yarn in black and white. I prefer acrylic yarn, but the choice of yarn brand and fibre is completely up to you! You’ll need 5.5 mm, 4 mm, and 3.5 mm crochet hooks, along with your usual crochet supplies such as scissors, a tapestry needle, stitch markers, etc.
A little warning before you apply: there are LOTS of ends to weave in! 😂 If weaving in ends is your least favourite part of crochet, you’ve officially been warned!
The pattern will be sent to selected testers on September 5th, and the completed test, including your feedback and photos, will be due by September 23rd. I’m looking for testers who can commit to completing the project within this timeframe. You’ll also need to submit a minimum of 2 clear photos of your finished stocking along with your feedback by the deadline.
By applying, you understand that testers are expected to follow the pattern as written, complete the project within the agreed testing period, communicate any issues or confusing areas they encounter, and provide honest and constructive feedback. I want to know what worked, what didn’t, and anything that could be improved or clarified before the pattern is released to make the pattern as easy to understand as possible!
Testers must have a public Instagram account. Testers will also be asked to make at least one Instagram post featuring the Boney & Bright Stocking either during testing, upon completion, or when the pattern is officially released. I’ll be sharing tester posts on my social media as well, so you’ll get a little extra exposure for your work! 🖤
Testers will be chosen on September 4th. Everyone who is selected will be notified by email. Those chosen will then be added to an Instagram group chat where we’ll communicate throughout the testing process.
As a thank-you for your time and help, all selected testers will receive a free copy of the completed pattern once testing is finished. Testers will also be credited inside the final pattern, including your name, Instagram username, and photos of your finished stocking with a little blurb about the work you did on this test.
If you’re an experienced crocheter who loves a a little challenge, spooky vibes, and would love to help me make sure this pattern is the best it can be, I’d love to have you apply!
