I need three pattern testers for my newest pattern which is a hip scarf. I need intermediate crocheters who know their way around patterns. This is NOT for someone that isn't sure how to read a pattern or doesn't read carefully. It's text-heavy and you'll need to be on your A game for this one but it's a beauty when done! Looks great over a swimsuit.

Please only apply if you're serious about finishing this garment. I need feedback on fit and ease of crochet.

This is made with a 6mm hook and you can use yarns like Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, Paintbox Cotton DK, Premier Cotton Fair, YarnArt Jeans, or Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8.

Testing window will be to the end of the month. I require a finished photo--can be a flat lay--and I need that photo to be listed in Ravelry as a project AFTER the pattern goes live.

Size	Finished Width
S/M	38" (96.5 cm)
L/XL	44" (112 cm)
2X/3X	50" (127 cm)

I need testers who will turn this one around quickly as it's a freebie I'm setting to launch on the 4th over on my blog. You DO NOT have to make it in these colors. You can make it all in one color or whatever your favorite colors might be.

Required:

Cotton yarn
5 mm crochet hook
Ability to provide feedback and a finished photo BEFORE the 3rd of July as this is set to publish on the 4th.
