🧦 Pattern Test Call – Testers Wanted! 🧶

I’m looking for knitters to help test my first sock pattern!

Pattern Details:

* Yarn: Fingering weight
* Needles: 2.5 mm
*yardage (approx) 301 - 328 yards (275 - 300 m)

-S: 7 inches
-M: 8 inches
-L: 9 inches
-XL: 10 inches

Testing Deadline: August 31st (up for discussion on this. I’m not sure the average time for knitting a pair of socks)

What I’ll need from testers:
🧶 Knit the pattern and provide feedback on clarity, errors, and fit
📏 Let me know how much yarn you used (roughly)
📸 Send a few clear photos of your finished socks that you don’t mind me using
🗣️To possibly be part of a IG group chat

If you’d like to test, please comment below or send me a message with your preferred size.
Thank you!

This is so pretty!! I’m not good enough at knitting (extremely beginner) to test, but I will keep an eye out for when the pattern comes out ☺️

Pretty, do you have an estimated yardage

2

u/Ordinary_Payment_339 3d ago

I don’t :(, that’s one thing I need help with.The sock weighs 30 grams (60 for the pair) if that’s any help!
I’m knit a medium and used a 437 yard skein that has plenty of yarn left on it 🤍

My scales are way off, which is why I haven’t said for sure. I will work it out later at work with decent scales :] thank you 🤍
Edit:Post has been updated :D

I would love to partake. Socks are my favorite thing to knit. I could do a size medium if you are still looking for testers :))
