You read that right. I need test knitters for my first ever sock pattern! If you didn’t know I do also knit. I have a few knit patterns & after years of knitting socks I have came up with my own design.

f you are not comfortable using any of the techniques you can feel free to use any other technique. I am really concerned with the stitch count, pattern stitches, typos, etc of the entire pattern.

A few things about testing this pattern:

I will NOT pay you to test this pattern. You are doing it for free. You will receive NO COMPENSATION in ANY form.
You may or may not receive this pattern for free as a gift once it is published and added to Ravelry. This is one reason I ask for your Ravelry user name below.

If you still want to test this pattern please continue to read on to find out the stitches, techniques, etc of what is needed.

The sock was designed using the Magic Loop method of knitting. However I have added a note about what stitches are for the ‘top’ of the sock & the ‘bottom’ of the sock.

What You Will Need To Do To During The Test:

There are a few things you need to do for me while testing. You will also have a certain date to finish by and provide notes & pictures.

February 28, 2019 is the date the testing ends. This means I need all your notes, photos, corrections, etc if you have any.
You will need to be able to take pictures. This is for issues you may have. Seeing where you are stuck will help me greatly. I also want to see how your finished pair of socks look.
You must have a Ravelry user name and use Ravelry. This is so I can see if you active and if I choose to send the finished pattern to you once it is published & listed on Ravelry. By Active I mean at least in the last 2-3 weeks you have updated one of your projects. I don’t want you to have too much to do as that is just bad for your creativity on your other projects.
You must have a valid email address. I will use this to send you the pattern and correspond with you. it will NEVER be used for spam. I may also contact you for future tests if I have any (as my crochet testers can attest to that I do this).
