Pattern Testers Wanted
I designed a skully version of the Spring Blossom Slouchy and I’m looking for a few people to test it! The pattern includes instructions for a regular skully (blue) and an extra long version (yellow). If you’re interested, please read on. :)
About the pattern
This is an intermediate level pattern that uses basic crochet stitches and techniques + a couple special stitches (clusters & puffs) which are explained in the patterns. You’ll need 4 colors of worsted weight yarn & a size I crochet hook.
What is pattern testing?
Testing involves trying out the pattern and letting me know if you run into any typos or have any problems. I’m looking for someone who can be really critical! This is important. In the past I’ve had too many people tell me a pattern was perfect and then had other people testing the same pattern find obvious errors, etc. Please only apply if you’re really interested in offering constructive criticism.
How to apply
Please leave a comment on this post including the following:
1. Have you ever made the Spring Blossom Slouchy Hat?
2. Link me to your Ravelry or somewhere that I can see a few things you’ve made?
3. Do you have Word or a program that lets you edit .DOC files?
4. I’d like to have testing completed by Tuesday the 19th. Is that doable for you?
I’ll contact you within 48 hours, by email if I choose you as a tester.
Please don’t email me about this! Just comment on this post. Thank you! :)
Thank you so much, everyone who offered to test for me! I have already emailed those of you that I’d like to have test this time. There should be another pattern ready for testing very soon! If you’d like to know how to test for me in the future, check out this post! :)

Hiya !!
I’ve not worked on this particular hat but I tested the pinecone hat recently.
Can easily complete by the 19th :) and I can be critical since I also find the opposite sort of tester unfun.
You can find me on Ravelry as accrochet and in facebook as facebook.com/accrochet
Hope to get to test again for you!
Julie :)
I cant do this project because I’m so booked with orders, but maybe next time! I love all of your pattern! :)

I would love to test. thank you so much for letting me know through facebook that you were needing testers. you can check out through steel koi on facebook several of the items I have made.
