I need testers for my Horace the Hermit Crab - Crochet ePattern
Due Date: 28th November 2024
Additional Requirements:
I’m looking for a few testers to test Horace the hermit crab. I’ve made Horace using Aran/worsted weight yarn, but he looks good in dk weight too
The crab is pretty straightforward, though the eyes can be a little fiddley, the head and body is one piece, with the 4 legs, the large claws and the eyes sewn onto it. There is a little embroidering, for the smile.
The shell is made in two parts, the first is the main shell and the second is attaching and making a pouch for the crab to sit in.
Yarn:
Aran/worsted weight: you will need a 4mm hook and 9mm or 10mm safety eyes - around 35g of yarn for the crab and 40g for the shell, stuffing.
DK weight: you will need a 3.5mm hook and 6mm safety eyes - less than 35g/40g yarn for both the crab and shell, stuffing.
If you’d like to apply to test Horace, link below – and please put in the comments which yarn you would use.
Thank you
A hermit crab has been on my list of next patterns to make! This looks great and would love to test! I can do this in acrylic or plush (would eventually make in each).
Id love to test if i may! Its so cute, i love him! I can use worsted weight, im thinking a red hermit, and an off-white for the shell if i get picked! I will be using my 3.75mm hook,but can use a 4mm instead if thats a requirement
And if you want I can send you pics if things I’ve made before so you can make sure I’m qualified ! ( my other tests in my journals aren’t my best work so….)
