Tester call for Crochet: Grandma's Cat Throw Blanket - CLOSED

[corbeavv]

I need testers for my upcoming paid ‘Grandma’s Cat Throw Blanket’ - Crochet ePattern!

Please read the full post before applying!

I’m looking for a few dedicated crafters to test out my first Ribblr crochet design. As this is a really big project with an estimated completion time of 60-80~ hours, I’m looking for crafters who can commit to a deadline, don’t mind working with single crochets, and are willing to tackle tapestry crochet!

I will choose 6 testers on Friday evening, January 2nd, 2026 if there is enough interest in the pattern.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Skills required:

• Understanding of basic crochet stitches ( sc, ch, dc, slst, etc… )
• Can do the mattress stitch
• Understanding of tapestry crochet techniques (or at least, willing to learn them)
• Knows how to read crochet graph charts

This pattern will be sold for $6.99 CAD when released on March 1st, 2026, and all testers will be gifted the patten when they have completed their test.

Due Date: Feb 14th, 2026 - extendable to Feb 25th, 2026.
Additional Requirements:

• Make and keep a journal as you work, with at least one good picture.
• Good and bad feedback. Constructive criticism is encouraged!
• Communication. No ghosting, and please be patient! I do not have constant wifi access, so I will try to reply to messages as soon as I can!
• Three colours ( 7 oz / 198 g skeins) are needed: 6 in a main colour, 5 in a secondary colour, and 2 in a third colour. Recommended hook size is 5.5 to match the gauge.

I would love to test with petrol blue and a little bit white for one cat and brown for the other. I’m not really a cat person, but my dog ​​is the same size and also likes to eat fish I would make the blanket for my girlfriend.

Hooray! It’s here! I’m such a cat person that it’s been a key part of my personality for over 30 years. I’d have to think on the colors, but barring all else, I’d be happy to default to what you’ve used. If possible, I might do some different colors for the cats - certainly one black, but also one calico (I have a colorway in orange, white, and gray that would probably end up looking tortoiseshell) and maybe a gray or orange? Maybe I could try playing with the chart to get a tabby look? And for the background, perhaps something softer, like a light mossy green.
