Sparkler Bag: Pattern Testers Needed!
It’s finally time!! The Sparkler bag pattern is ready for testing!! Would you like to help?
What is pattern testing?
Testing involves trying out the pattern and letting me know if you run into any typos, errors, or have any problems. I’m looking for someone who can be really critical! This is important. Please only apply if you’re really interested in offering constructive criticism and have time to dedicate to focus on this.
About the pattern
This is an advanced level pattern that uses only basic crochet stitches and techniques. The assembly however, is a bit tricky, which is why I’m calling it advanced. You’ll need approximately 340 yards of worsted weight yarn & a size H crochet hook. You will need 1 yard of fabric & basic sewing supplies to line the bag (required because I need that part of the pattern tested as well).
How to apply
Please leave a comment on this post including the following:
1. Have you ever made the Sparkler Slouchy Hat?
2. Link me to your Ravelry or somewhere that I can see a few things you’ve made?
3. Are you able to sew well enough to line the bag?
4. Do you have Word or a program that lets you edit .DOC files?
5. I’d like to have testing completed by Saturday the 29th. Is that doable for you?
If I choose you as a tester, the pattern will be sent out to you by email no later than Friday the 21st.
Please don’t email me about this! Just comment on this post. Thank you! :)

Hi Stephanie! I just sent you an email. Please let me know if you don’t get it for some reason. The pattern file is kinda huge so it might go to your spam folder or something.
Thanks Julie! I got it and am going to start working on it now. I am going to try it in a different worsted yarn, Is that ok? It will be worsted weight just not cotton. I can do it in lily’s if you need me to though. Just let me know.
Glad to hear that you got it! Thanks for letting me know! You can use whatever yarn you like as long as it’s worsted. I don’t wanna make you go buy anything just for this! Whatever you have is fine :)
Lol I wouldn’t have to buy much. I stock up on yarn when it goes on sale. I have both just wanted to make it in this new fall color I got. I may make it in both and see how they turn out.
