tester call for crochet: blossom the sakura dragon

i’m so excited to share my blossom the sakura dragon pattern with you all, but first… it needs testing! :cherry_blossom::dragon:

i’m looking for 6–10 testers for blossom, and shes a part of the monthly dragon collab by @CrochetCritters04
this might be a paid pattern, but we’ll see!
english is not my first language [though im pretty good at it], so apologies in advance for any mistakes!

if you want me to tag you when the pattern releases, just let me know and i’ll try my best not to forget :pink_heart:

please read everything carefully before applying!

— for those who want to apply —

requirements:

due date: may 25 (more than a month! no extensions as it must release in may)

choosing testers in 24-48 hours

share your thoughts and feedback in the group chat (not the journal) on:

  • mistakes in the pattern

  • grammar/spelling/etc (there will probably be some :sob:)

  • unclear instructions

  • inconsistency in the pattern

  • anything else that might need fixing!

share at least one good photo (natural lighting preferred) in the group chat for tester appreciation
post a journal with a clear photo
be active in the group chat and respond in a reasonable time (i’ll do the same!)
respond to the welcome message within a few days or your spot may be given to someone else
use the 2 blossom elements included (if you freehand details, mention it in your journal!)
please please PLEASE no ghosting :folded_hands:

— pattern information —

this is a confident intermediate/advanced pattern
this pattern requires wire for structure (body/tail), so YOU MUST HAVE WIRE
there is a fair amount of sewing, especially for the details
this is a larger project, so testers will have about a month to complete it

— materials i used —

medium/worsted weight yarn
3.5 mm hook
safety eyes
stuffing
18 gauge floral wire [i used 5 16in pieces]
basic crochet tools
sewing pins
tape

— additional notes —

if life gets busy during testing, just let me know!

and please, please, please use blossom colors/ similar colors
you’re welcome to sell finished items, just credit me as the designer!
if you have questions, feel free to ask in the comments
if you don’t have makes yet, you can PM me your work or comment photos!

if you’ve read everything and can meet the requirements, comment what yarn + hook size you’ll likely use (doesn’t have to be worsted!), a photo of a project by that yarn, a flower emoji :cherry_blossom:, also let me know if you’ll use joined or continuous rounds as i wrote the pattern in joined, and click this photo :down_arrow:

I hope to make the whole series by the time the year is over! I normally do continuous rounds for Amigurumi but I’m happy to do joined if that’s what the pattern calls for. I can test continuous if you want to see what it looks like. I’ll use a solid color cotton for the body and a variegated recycled silk for the accents. Probably using a 3.5 or 3.75mm hook and the yarn is a thin worsted to DK weight.

A DRAGONNNNN

IT LOOKS SOOOOO GOOD!

Would LOVE to test this using 3.5 mm hook and worsted weight yarn :cherry_blossom::cherry_blossom::cherry_blossom::cherry_blossom::cherry_blossom:

I have a lot of shades of pink, cream and purple, so making it blossom themed will be no problem

Something I made using that yarn:

It looks absolutely adorable! I’d love to test for you with mercerized cotton yarn and a 2,5mm hook. Most of my makes are done with the same yarn and hook. :cherry_blossom: I think I will do continuous rounds, I prefer the way it looks.

I made these foxes with the same yarn and hook:
