(CLOSED) Tester call for Crochet: Alchemy messenger bag

Hi! I need testers for my Alchemy messenger bag.
It would be nice if you had a crochet Instagram, where you would post about it, but it’s not required (if you have one, leave your ig handle in the comment). Please read the rules before applying.

Rules:

  • Reply to my messages in the Ribblr group chat within 3 days, if you don’t do that you will be removed from testing
  • Make a journal, it can be just a photo of the finished product. Do not include instructions from the pattern in the journal and problems with the pattern if I fixed them
  • Finish by the deadline, if you notice three days before the deadline that you can’t make it tell me about it.

Not following the rules after being selected for the tester will ban you from participating in my future pattern tests and you don’t want to miss out on them!

Deadline: 31st of January

This pattern uses a 5 mm hook and aran weight cotton yarn (150 m/100g). I double-stranded my yarn so you can just use a thicker yarn (remember to check the gauge!).

The color work on the front uses a lot of colors, so it can be a bit challenging. The color work instructions are in form of the graph.

if you read everything leave :test_tube: in the comments

If you are intimidated by color work you can always try simplifying it and then adding the details using embroidery

Don’t worry, there is only embroidery left, so I am putting it off, because it involves too much thinking. I will add it to my to do list
