Test Crochet Details

This pattern is a special project for me, as it is my first time creating a full size range (6 sizes) and preparing an English version of my crochet pattern.
To create a pattern that is clear and enjoyable to follow, I am looking for crocheters who would be willing to help test the pattern and share their feedback.

Yarn to Use

Isager Merilin or a similar yarn
