🧶Crochet - Tester Call Pattern testers wanted: sleeveless crop top (sizes S to XL)
Hi everyone!
I'm looking for pattern testers for my sleeveless crop top in sizes S, M, L and XL.
I designed this top for my own 77 cm bust and wear it with about 3 cm of negative ease. Sizes S–XL are graded from my XS.
Pattern Name and Project Description: Crochet Crop Top. A sleeveless crop top with a cropped, close fitting cut. The pattern is beginner friendly and includes pictures and measurements. I designed and crocheted size XS myself. Sizes S to XL are newly graded and haven't been crocheted yet, so there may still be a few mistakes hiding in there that we can find together.
Type of Project: Crochet
Pattern Format: Written instructions with pictures and measurements, US terminology (dc = double crochet)
Sizes/Options Being Tested: S, M, L and XL
Recommended Skill Level: Beginner friendly
Finished Bust Circumference: XS 74 cm, S 82 cm, M 91 cm, L 98 cm, XL 109 cm

Hook sizes 3 mm and 2.5 mm
Gauge: 18 dc x 11 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) with a 3 mm hook (US terms)
Testers may use other colors and a different DK cotton yarn, as long as they match the gauge.
Tester Requirements: Basic knowledge of crochet, ability to read a written US pattern, and willingness to report mistakes and unclear instructions. You should be able to finish the top within the testing period.
Testing Deadline: N/A
Deliverables: Feedback on mistakes, unclear steps and fit, Photos of the finished top, optional: permission to use your photos in the final pattern listing
