About Pattern Testing Services
How I Approach Pattern Testing
I’m Bhairavi, fibre artist and pattern tester. Working with other designers is honestly the highlight of my crochet journey. Pattern testing isn’t just about following instructions - I treat every project like a genuine collaboration. I get your pattern before anyone else, work through it from start to finish, and help you smooth out the details that make it shine.
What You Can Expect
- I’ll source my own yarn and crochet your design exactly as written.
- Throughout, I note what’s working and what’s confusing. Expect direct, honest feedback - I don’t sugarcoat!
- I look at everything: stitch count accuracy, whether the sizing feels right (especially for made-to-measure patterns), and if the instructions actually make sense.
- I’ll check your supporting photos, charts, and guides for clarity.
- Once it’s done, I’ll style and model the final piece, sending you photos and videos you can use.
My Experience
I’ve tested 49+ patterns for designers worldwide, from simple bandanas to complex tops, sweaters, and dresses. I love working with projects that need a “body snatched fit” or anything with detailed construction. Not every pattern is perfect on the first try, and that’s totally normal - my feedback is all about helping you get there.
Why Work With Me?
Crochet pattern testing is real work, and I’m here for all the nitty-gritty. If you want your pattern launch to be smooth, clear, and confidence-boosting, I’d love to help.

My Story
Hey, I’m Bhairavi - the hands behind Crochet of India. Yarn and me, we go way back, like old friends from storybooks. I’m all about finding peace and a bit of fun in every stitch. Sometimes pattern testing throws me a curveball (that first amigurumi mushroom nearly had me!), but I love learning as I go. I’m just starting out, so it’s a bit messy, a bit magical. Everything here is handmade, with plenty of heart.

Personalized Amigurumi & Flower Bouquets - Cute crochet toys (like my mushroom!) and bouquets, all tailored to your style.

Handmade With Love - Every piece is handmade by me, with lots of yarn love in every stitch.
