I’m working on writing a pattern but this is my first foray into documenting my design process. Looking for someone with experience to help with formatting and clarity!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for pattern testers for my pattern for a candy cane lip balm holder!

I used Ricorumi yarn, 25g in red and white and a UK 4mm hook. You will also require a tapestry needle.

The patten includes working in the round as well as stitches such as treble crochet (UK terms).

This is one of my first patterns so please be kind. It's a fairly quick project so would love any feedback as soon as possible.

I should be able to get the pattern across tomorrow at the latest!

Thanks :)
