New Tester Call! Crazy Hexi Cool Top

I’m looking for a lovely group of crochet pattern testers to help test my new Crazy Hexi Cool Top pattern! If you enjoy making hexagon garments but fancy something a little different, this could be the perfect project for you. The design uses elongated hexagons and a combination of solid stitches and granny stitch to create a beautifully textured fabric with plenty of drape. It’s a no-sew pattern with a customisable neckline, making it both enjoyable to crochet and easy to wear.

The pattern includes 5 inclusive sizes and 11 length options, allowing testers to create anything from a shorter summer top to a longer tunic-style version. It has been written with plenty of support throughout, including detailed instructions, a stitch chart, step-by-step photos, construction images and sizing guidance. The sample shown was made in Lion Brand Coboo, but the design also lends itself well to yarn substitutions, so I’d love to see how it looks in different fibres and colours.

As always, I would be incredibly grateful for your help. Pattern testing plays such an important role in making sure my patterns are as clear, accurate and inclusive as possible before release. If you’d like to be involved, please complete the form below, letting me know your preferred size, yarn choice (if known), and whether you’d be happy to provide feedback and photos of your finished top. Thank you so much for considering testing for me, I truly appreciate the time, effort and support of every tester.

If you would like to test for me take a look at my blog post- https://melucrochet.com/2026/07/28/new-tester-call-crazy-hexi-cool-top-by-melu-crochet/

Or leave me a comment and I’ll send you the link- feel free to tag your friends - thanks very much 😁🧶💗

My next blanket to go up on Wool Warehouse! 🌈

Meet the Granny Bobblina Rainbow Blanket – a fun, colorful, and textured crochet pattern that’s full of joy! I’ve been loving rainbows lately, and this design brings together granny clusters and bobble stitches to create a gorgeous, curvy rainbow effect.

This pattern has been thoroughly tested to make sure it’s easy to follow. It’s ideal for intermediate crocheters, but if you’re a confident beginner and keep an eye on your stitch counts, you’ll be just fine!

I’ve included a color recipe and yarn amounts for both aran and DK yarn, so you can choose the perfect option for your project. There’s also a step-by-step photo tutorial to help with the bobble stitch, which is crocheted right into the blanket- so no worries about them falling off!

I used the gorgeous Stylecraft special aran for this one, in these lovely colours:

💙 Midnight
🩵 Storm Blue
💛 Mustard
🩷 Raspberry
💗 Pale Rose
💚 Sage
🩶 Silver
🤍 Cream

I hope you have as much fun making this blanket as I did designing it! Happy crocheting! 🌈💕

Thanks for having me Wool Warehouse 😍

The next blanket up on is my Ziggy Pop Blanket 😍

I am banging on about this as I think it’s important for people to be able to buy patterns in a place they can trust- with so much AI crap out there I think this is such a reassuring option for customers- what do you think? 🧶🌈🤗

A standout feature of this design is the use of multicoloured, colour-changing yarn for the bobbles. There’s no need to constantly switch colours or purchase multiple skeins, which saves time, money, and effort. These shorter gradient yarns can be tricky to match with patterns, but here they truly shine, bursting through against a solid background. You get a vibrant, eye-catching effect with none of the usual hassle.

I used the gorgeous Kiddies Supersoft aran in Sea Ice (477)
And Cygnet Colour Rush DK in Fibrebrick (656) love this colour combo as an easy alternative to rainbow 🌈
