Frequently Asked Questions
What is a test knit?
In a test knit or test crochet, a new design is knitted or crocheted by several craft enthusiasts before its release. This allows the fit, sizing, pattern steps, and potential errors to be checked in practice before the design is published.
Do I have to buy the yarn?
Yes, you order the required yarn yourself from the shop – as a thank you for your participation, you will receive a 15% discount on it via a code that you will receive at Knitplace.
How much time do I need?
That depends on the project. The exact deadline and estimated timeframe for each open test knit are listed at the top of this page.
