Here at Hookfully, I’m always looking for new people to become crochet pattern testers. I always make sure all my crochet patterns are tested before being released.
This helps to smooth out any errors, get feedback from crocheters, and make sure people can clearly follow my instructions. I always find the process quite fun too; I have even made some great like-minded friends from around the world.
What is a crochet pattern tester?
In a nutshell, a crochet pattern tester is someone who receives a free, unreleased crochet pattern from the designer in return for feedback.
Testers will be asked to complete the crochet pattern and report back with photos, errors, and feedback.
Testers may spot things I have missed, such as a typo, a punctuation error, or even instruction wording that is not clear enough.
Additionally, your photos will help me see if you made the item correctly and if it looks as it should after following my pattern.
Why become a pattern tester?
There are many benefits to becoming a crochet pattern tester, including:
- Receiving free premium crochet patterns
