What is a pattern tester?
When I write a pattern, mistakes are inevitable. Whether it’s a small math mistake or a step that I didn’t explain as well as I could have, having a second pair of eyes is invaluable to me.
Pattern testers are volunteers who agree to follow a rough draft of my pattern and proof read it for me, creating a finished project along the way. Usually, there will be a time frame within which this process needs to be finished, and I expect constructive criticism about errors in my pattern or clarifications I could make.
Expectations:
- Finish following the pattern within the given timeframe (usually one to two weeks).
- I allow a one day grace period because I know that life gets in the way—but please do your best to finish on time!
- Along the way, check to make sure the stitch counts are correct by performing basic calculations.
- Make note of any points where you were confused or you feel that a beginner may be confused. If you find areas like these, let me know whether they should be clarified with a different wording or with pictures.
- Communicate with me throughout the process either through Instagram DM or through email.
- You are free to change the weight and color of yarn as you wish
- This is on a voluntary basis only with no compensation, but you do have my sincere thanks!
