Tester call for Crochet: Mug Rug | 3 Versions

I need testers for my Mug Rug | 3 Versions - Crochet ePattern

Helloooo wonderful crocheters! This pattern will be free once published, it’s part of a workshop I’m hosting at a creative event later this month, so it will always remain free. (The creative event is called Visionaries btw, if you are in or near the DMV area and love art and music I highly recommend attending!)

The stitch techniques used are thermal, alpine, and front loop dropped. Instructions for each are provided in the pattern. Crocheters of any skill level should be able to work this bc the techniques are just single, double, and treble crochets worked.. uhh.. differently haha idk how to explain it. Actually.. I’ll just post the stitch instructions at the bottom of this post. Let me know if you have any questions! Thank youuuu!!!

Due Date: 10/25/2026

I’m requesting a quick turn around on this bc i need to print out the PDF version in time for a crochet workshop I’m hosting soon after this deadline.

Additional Requirements:

  • Please test all 3 variations
  • Post picture of finished mug rug in our chat

Thermal stitch (ts): Work a single crochet in the back loop of stitch in current row and front loop of stitch in previous row: Insert hook into back loop of stitch in current row and front loop of stitch in previous row, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.

Alpine stitch (as): Work a front post double crochet around the double crochet 2 rows below: Yarn over, insert hook from back to front around post of double crochet, yarn over and pull up a long loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops twice.

Front loop dropped double/treble (fldd/fldt): Work a double/treble crochet in the front loop of stitch a number of rows below: Yarn over once/twice, insert hook in front loop of stitch n rows below, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops twice/thrice.

Hi,

I’ve approved some testers for this testing call and when i try sending the group message from Shop Manager>Testing I get this error message: “Msg failed: Sorry, you cannot send a personal message to that user”

I’ve looked at all the profiles of everyone who has applied and noticed one user does not have Message, Chat, or Follow buttons available. I manually created a group chat and added everyone except that user and was able to successfully start the chat, but I am unable to get in contact with the tester who has messages turned off. Is there a way i can ensure they are able to participate in testing? I don’t want them to miss out bc they have account privacy enabled. I really appreciate your time and assistance on this! :folded_hands: Thank you!!
