I’m looking for knitters to help test my first sock pattern!

-S: 7 inches
-M: 8 inches
-L: 9 inches
-XL: 10 inches

Testing Deadline: August 31st (up for discussion on this. I’m not sure the average time for knitting a pair of socks)

What I’ll need from testers:
🧶 Knit the pattern and provide feedback on clarity, errors, and fit
📏 Let me know how much yarn you used (roughly)
📸 Send a few clear photos of your finished socks that you don’t mind me using

This is so pretty!! I’m not good enough at knitting (extremely beginner) to test, but I will keep an eye out for when the pattern comes out ☺️

Aww I appreciate that so much!

it’s out now :D

u/LittlePubertAddams Jul 21 '26

Pretty, do you have an estimated yardage

u/Ordinary_Payment_339 Jul 21 '26

I don’t :(, that’s one thing I need help with.The sock weighs 30 grams (60 for the pair) if that’s any help!
I’m knit a medium and used a 437 yard skein that has plenty of yarn left on it 🤍

u/yoeind Jul 21 '26

What's the remaining weight of the skein?

u/Ordinary_Payment_339 Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

My scales are way off, which is why I haven’t said for sure. I will work it out later at work with decent scales :] thank you 🤍
Edit:Post has been updated :D

I would love to partake. Socks are my favorite thing to knit. I could do a size medium if you are still looking for testers :))

u/Ordinary_Payment_339 Jul 21 '26

Hi that would be great! Thank you

u/Purple_Owl_9 Jul 21 '26

I'd like to sign up! I would knit a small size.

Just commenting to say I love this and hope you post the pattern when it’s ready so I can make these when I’m a better knitter 😊
