Requirements from the maker	Here is what I’m looking for: 1. Complete the test knit and send any notes by January 28th :) 2. If you have Instagram, post a progress photo and one finished photo on Instagram on or before the release date in order to help me promote the pattern, which is so appreciated. 3. Tag me in the photo @knitsbykeyknits and please use #keyknits and #flutterbytop in your posts so I can share and see them! 4. Finally, upload a project to Ravelry. The feedback I’m hoping you can provide: 1. Were there any grammatical errors? 2. Were there any mathematical errors? 3. What needle size did you use to meet gauge? 4. How many yards of yarn did you use? Yards are preferred rather than ounces or grams. Here’s a tutorial to help https://hearthookhome.com/calculate-yarn-yardage-weight/ 5. Was there anything that could be explained better?
Rewards from the designer	The designer is offering discounted or free pattern(s) to testers As a thanks for all your help and hardwork, when you complete the pattern on or before the deadline you will receive a thank you pattern from my collection of your choosing.
