Pattern Testing Call! (Closed!)

Pattern Testing Call!

I am breaking my hiatus to release this crochet pattern!

I've named her the Defrosting Skelly Shrug as I worked them up during the coldest days of a Florida winter lol.

I will be releasing this pattern in phases as to not overwhelm myself since this is my very first time writing a pattern 😅

This is currently being pattern tested amongst some of my friends and as they're wrapping up, I will be choosing people to fill in for the sizes that haven't been tested.

Additionally, towards the end of this month, I will have a YouTube tutorial and pictures of the gauge swatch available. I want to make sure that the V-stitch chain stitch is accessible to those who just want to learn the stitch or are making a shrug for themselves. Crochet 'n' Create already has a great written tutorial on their blog if you're eager to get started 🖤
