[CLOSED]Tester call for Crochet: Sorin the Bundled Birdy

rhimdrake · January 19, 2026, 4:22pm

I need testers for my Sorin the Bundled Birdy - Crochet ePattern
Due Date: 2026-01-30T07:00:00Z

Hello again, everyone!
I’m looking for 6-8 pattern testers to ensure that Sorin is ready for his big debut! There are 3 versions of this bundled birdy that I need tested:

All worsted-weight yarn (birdy & accessories)
Plush birdy (weight 5 yarn) and worsted-weight accessories
All plush yarn, any size (birdy & accessories)

If you’d like apply, here’s what I’m looking for:

Create a project journal with at least one finished photo (natural lighting is always appreciated!). I am planning on sharing these photos on my socials once the pattern is released, so finished photos will also need to be shared in the chat.
Share your thoughts and feedback in the group chat—things like typos, unclear wording, or anything that could make the pattern easier to follow.
Stay active in our group chat and reply as quickly as you can, as I check in through the testing process. I will try to do the same.
Send a quick response to the welcome message within 2 days to confirm you’re still on board. If I don’t hear back, I’ll assume life got busy and open the spot to someone else.

Testing Info:

Skill level: Confident Beginner/ Intermediate

Specific Skills: There is some sewing in this pattern, so having a bit of experience with that will help! Accessory pieces can also be modified to adjust sizing, so being comfortable measuring as you go and making adjustments is a big plus.

Yarn, hook, & colors: As mentioned at the beginning of this post, there are 3 versions of Sorin that I’d like tested: All worsted, plush birdy & worsted accessories, and all plush (in any size). This will help to make decisions about sizing instructions throughout the pattern.

Largest Stitch Counts: 26 around for the body

Original Pattern Materials:

Low-Pil (weight 4) in 5-6 colors

3.5 mm hook

6 mm safety eyes

Stuffing, stitch markers, scissors

If you’ve read all the info, go ahead and comment what version of Sorin you’d like to test, Instagram handle (if you have one), and a bird emoji so I know you’ve read and understand the requirements! If you don’t complete this step, your application won’t be considered for testing.

I’ll be choosing testers this Wednesday (2026-01-21T07:00:00Z)

I’m so grateful for your interest and excitement!
If you don’t have any makes on Ribblr yet, no worries at all—just send me a quick message, drop a few photos in the comments, or share your social media where I can peek at your lovely work.

I’m really excited to share this precious little guy with you all!!

This is so cute!

I can do an all worsted-weight birdie with a 4.0mm hook!
I could do one in bulky size 6 plush yarn instead if needed.

*I don’t have Instagram

glwt!!! this is so adorable I wish I had time to test!!!

Adlovesyarn · January 19, 2026, 4:58pm

hii i love how cute this is! i could do any of the 3 whatever has the least amount of testers! for worsted weight i would use various acrylics with a 4mm hook, for the plush with worsted weight accesories i would use a hobby lobby weight 5 chenille and probably these tiny mini skeins of worsted weight with whatever hook i see fit when i start working on it, and then for the all chenille i would use a hobby lobby chenille for all of it with a 4.5mm hook for all of this i would use the colors white, brown, and yellow for accesories! thanks for considering! oh and i dont have instagram!

katz2katz2 · January 19, 2026, 5:07pm

I would LOVE to test for you! I can do the plush Birdy with a 4.0 hook! I have acrylic yarn that’s very similar to worsted yarn if you would like me to do that too! My mom would love this lol.

I don’t have an insta btw

here’s a pic!

Sorin is so so cute! I want to apply, but I am currently in the middle of some projects that could really use my attention I hope everything goes smoothly in testing!

kauliflower · January 19, 2026, 5:16pm

I’m pretty new to Ribblr, but this is really cute and I’d love to test it out! I would have to do the worsted weight as I haven’t gotten any plush yarns yet (fairly new to crochet as well if you want a semi-beginner to test). I don’t have an insta.

Thanks!

I would love to test! I would use acrylic yarn with a 3mm hook, or I could make it in cozy cub with a 4mm hook. And for colors I’m not quite sure cuz I’m not home rn but they would definitely be earthy tones

MamaKStitchCraft · January 19, 2026, 6:24pm

I would love to test a plushy Sorin with worsted weight acc essories. I’d use bulky chenille yarn and a 4 or 4.25mm hook for Sorin and petite purl yarn with a 3.5mm for Sorin’s accessories . I can do the other versions of Sorin if needed

Hey! This pattern is so cute, but I’m sadly not able to test. I was wondering if this pattern will be free or paid once released!

Henriksen · January 19, 2026, 7:29pm

Version 3, no instagram, and

vieguna · January 19, 2026, 7:53pm

I could make Sorin in worsted weight yarn with 3.5 mm hook in any color.

Don’t have Insta.

rhimdrake · January 19, 2026, 8:01pm

It will be free for a while after release before it’s listed as a paid pattern. I can tag you in the relase, if you’d like!

remingtonThe3rd · January 19, 2026, 8:03pm

I would be honored to help test!

I would use a white and brown for the body and some kind of muted colour?? for the clothes,

I would use the apropreit hook for the yarn as I can do any, what ever spots are still open.

(plush is my fav)

I love this pattern gl!!

(idk if that emoji counts but I didnt have the blue bird)

remingtonThe3rd · January 19, 2026, 8:07pm

EDIT - I forgot to post pick srry!

kind of random but the first thing I found

FrogOnWeels · January 19, 2026, 8:07pm

I would love that, thank you so much!

Crochet268322 · January 19, 2026, 8:29pm

He is adorable and I would love to test ! I would use an acrylic yarn which is the closest one I got to worsted with a 3.5mm hook. And I could do any colors but probably would use a white and brown for body and a green for accessories and any of his styles are fine! Also I don’t have a instagram account but here is some projects . I free handed the purple guy and used a pattern for the bag!
