I haven’t set up my insta account yet, but as far as tester calls go, I’d look at what others are doing and take notes before you post one of your own.
Some helpful things to include are:
Materials required/needed (For instance, wearables are often size-specific to the yarn you used.) You’ll want to include what yarn color, weight and hook size you used and if those details are required by your testers.
The due date.
When you will close tester applications.
How to reach you if they need help or have questions (And IF they can reach out to you)
The difficulty level of your pattern.
~
I also like to include whether the pattern will be paid/free and the price, and you might want to mention if your testers will recieve the pattern. (This one may be ribblr specific.)
I have a template I used modified from one provided by @HugglesNHooks

~This should be a quick/slow pattern and took me roughly X hours to make, coming to a final size of Y in Z yarn.
~You dont have to use the same colours.
~I recommend X weight yarn, but will accept tests and input for other types.

~Any mistakes and advice can be put in the group chat once it’s made
I will be choosing X testers in Y hours.
Non-yarn materials needed include:

Feel free to use the template if you want, and modify to personal preference. ^-^ Templates make things faster and easier, so even if you don’t use this one, I’d suggest making one of your own and saving it somewhere.
