Sharing my mistakes in crochet and knitting pattern designing, so you don’t have to make them.

I have been a passionate knitter and crochet for over 10 years now and started designing and publishing my own patterns around two years ago, in 2022. 

This blog post is for new, beginner, and wannabe knit and crochet designers. As someone who is still very much like an amateur myself, I’m going to share with you all the lessons I’ve learnt (and mistakes I’ve made).

This blog post is for new, beginner, and wannabe knit and crochet designers. As someone who is still very much like an amateur myself, I’m going to share with you the resources (and by resources I mean people, websites and tools etc.) that I have found really helpful in my learning journey. I’ll start with useful resources for the designing process, before moving on to tech editing, right through to promoting your new pattern.

A video and written instructions on how to crochet the mesh hearts pattern that is featured in my summer pattern release, the Nelson top. Perhaps it'll inspire you to design something using this stitch pattern too
