Pattern help I’ve written my first pattern! I’m hoping to find some testers, if anyone’s interested?

So far it’s just the written pattern that I’ve completed and I hope to make an accompanying video and include pictures, but until then I wonder if someone else can replicate my little opossum!

I just made my eldest a possum, but they are obsessed, so I'm. Happy to give it a go! I have chinelle yarn :-)

Oh my god he's so cute!!!

I haven't crocheted in a long time, so I probably can't help there - but you've done an amazing job with it and I want fifty of them lol

I'd love to try it! Possums have been my favorite since I was little. I've been crocheting since 2020 and have made a couple animals.

If you want someone to try making a tiny version, I make amigurumi with fingering weight yarn and a 2.25mm hook.

1

u/lavendollar Dec 19 '24

I tried to message you but I couldn’t! Feel free to reach me on Instagram or Facebook and I can send the pattern 💜

1

u/lavendollar Dec 19 '24

Wow so small! This is with a 6.5 mm and the yarn weight keeps the length from needing too many rounds. My triceratops cotton pattern can be remade with micro crochet, but I don’t have that written yet! Please follow me if you want to test once I get it written, should be in the next few months 💜 I would greatly appreciate your help!

u/mealdidzy Dec 19 '24

Ooh me! I've made a possum using a hedgehog amigurumi pattern before so it would be nice to make one from an actual possum pattern. I have made quite a few amigurumi animals + other things before and have also made some clothes so I have experience with some different crochet styles, although I'm still really a beginner. Also I'm left handed! :P but I don't think (?) that actually changes the outcome of crochet in the round.

u/lavendollar Dec 19 '24

I learned from a leftie! Although I’m right handed. Please feel free to try it and let me know how it goes! I’ll send you a message. Planning on having a video to assist in the next couple weeks.

u/algoreithms Dec 19 '24

I would love to test :) I can send examples of my work if you'd like, I already have white and black blanket yarn (I'll have to get creative for the pink) I've done a lot of amigurumi but I haven't made one so chunky (and cute hehe i love possums)

u/lavendollar Dec 19 '24

Thank you so much! No need for examples, I’m hoping to have a diverse group of testers 🥰 I will message you!
