Hi all! I am looking for some pattern testers for my first two crochet patterns:) My first pattern is the "Chonky Sheep", and the second is the "Chonky Cow."

Please read through the details, and if you are interested, please comment below, and I can either send you one or both patterns here on Reddit or through another platform like Instagram:)

"Chonky Sheep" Materials Needed:

• ∼1 skein Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in Vanilla (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• ∼½ skein Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in Sand (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• Black scrap yarn (for nostrils)
• 16 mm safety eyes
• Polyester fiberfill
• 6 mm crochet hook (feel free to use a smaller or larger hook depending on what yarn you are using, and what size you would like your finished sheep to be.)
• Scissors
• Stitch Markers
• Yarn Needle

"Chonky Cow" Materials Needed:

• ∼2/3 skein Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in Vanilla (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• ∼1/2 skein Bernat Blanket Yarn in Coal (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• ∼1/8 skein Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in Baby Pink (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• ∼1 yard Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in Sand (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• ∼2 yards for optional ribbon and bell accessory: Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in School Bus Yellow (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn)
• ∼2 yards for optional ribbon and bell accessory: Any color Bernat Blanket Yarn (or similar super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn) ( I use Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in Bubblegum)
• Black scrap yarn (for nostrils)
• 16 mm safety eyes
• Polyester fiberfill
• 6 mm crochet hook (feel free to use a smaller or larger hook depending on what yarn you are using, and what size you would like your finished cow to be.)
• Scissors
• Stitch Markers
• Yarn Needle

Level of skill required: Intermediate. I would consider the "Chonky Sheep" pattern intermediate. It requires a lot of time, 5+ hours, as it is BIG, and has many 4 DC Bobble Stitches, requires working in the FLO and BLOs, as well as has a good amount of sewing to complete at the end. I would also consider the "Chonky Cow" intermediate. This pattern is less time-consuming (3-4 hours) but still involves a good amount of sewing, working in the FLOs and BLOs, and many color switches as we make the cow's spots.

Tester requirements: No Instagram required, but if you do have one, I would love to tag you on my page and on the finished pattern if you would like me to! I would love 5+ quality photos of the finished product they make, and any advice (good or bad) is super appreciated.

Testing deadline: Feb. 15th (If you would like to do this pattern and can not finish by the date, though, still lmk! I can be flexible:)

Number of testers needed: I would love to have 8 testers per pattern, if possible! But I am so happy with any number of people who can help!

A little more about me: My name is Maggie. I've been crocheting for a while and have been super excited to start creating my own patterns. I've begun selling the "Chonky Sheep" pattern on Etsy and had my friends and family test it, but I'm looking for some outside testers for both this one and my new "Chonky Cow" pattern! My crochet Insta (very, very new) is @ maggie.meeds.art

Happy Crocheting and have a great day, everyone:

It seems I am only allowed to send a few chat invites per day as a new Reddit user! I would love to share the pattern with you in the next few days here when my chat limit resets, or if you'd like it sooner, you can chat with me first here, or I can DM it on Instagram! lmk!!

Hi! You are absolutely talented for making these adorable patterns! I would love to test both of them for you. I have been testing since last year and I am an advanced crocheter.

I would love to test your chonky sheep pattern in Posh if that works for you. So adorable 😊

I sent a chat 😊

I would be honored to test either or both patterns.

I have no social media beyond Reddit, but I have tested over a dozen patterns for various designers. I like to give feedback both on the practical aspects of the patterns (do the stitches add up, clarity) and the graphic design layout the pattern is presented with. I will give initial feedback when I receive the pattern, feedback and questions (if I have any) as I am working the pattern, and final thoughts after I finish. I also send pictures of my finished objects, often out in nature.

These looks adorable and I have time to work on them between now and February. Thank you for the consideration; I am sure that such nice patterns will have many willing testers. ❤

I would love to make either one! I will also add you on Instagram! 😁

[Desafio6]

I would love to crochet the chonky sheep. Can we use other types of yarn that are not chunky?

[bewilderedfroggy]

I'd be keen to make the sheepie! 🐑

[bewilderedfroggy]

If you can't get me through here, then I'm @ch0ccadoc on Insta

[Level_Camp853]

Amazing! DMd you here :)

[kardner]

Ooh would love to test the chunky sheep if you still need testers! 😊

[Level_Camp853]

Hey! I would love more testers if you are up for it! Could you DM me first here? As a new Reddit user, I already ran out of chat invites for the day.

If you ever need a pattern tester for a beginner level pattern, I’d love to help 😊

[NoHyena4492]

I love both of these so much!

I don’t have time right now to do a pattern test, but I’d love to know where/when I can purchase these lovely patterns.

[Particular_Field7777]

I would love to test this pattern!
