Hello crafty friends!
I’m looking for testers to make newest crochet pattern, The Riverbed Shawl
This Mobius design can be worn in 3 different ways: around the shoulders, as a scarf, or as a balaclava. The pattern includes instructions for customizing the size or trim as well as pictures and a video tutorial.
There will also be a video showing the inspiration and the importance of protecting wetland environments. If you live near a river and would like to share more about it, please let me know!
For all your help, you will receive the final crochet pattern, a coupon for the shop, and have your account be featured on Poppysmicks platforms. The pattern is beginner friendly, and can be worked up quite quickly!
