BetaForty hours into a sweater, and it fits the model but not you. The pattern stops at size L, and every change you make breaks the counts after it.
Start from your own measurements or a standard size from XS to 5X, with your yarn and gauge. You see every piece drawn to scale before you buy yarn, and the counts are worked out and proofread for every size.
Pick a garment and change the size, fit, yarn and stitch. The pieces redraw as you go, so you can see the fit before you crochet a single row.
Twelve garments, from a scarf or beanie to a raglan, cardigan or A-line dress. Pick standard sizes (women’s XS–5X, men’s S–5X) or type in your own bust, cross back and lengths.
Choose the yarn weight and stitch, then enter the stitches and rows from your own swatch. Every number in the pattern is worked out from that gauge, not from the designer’s.
The schematic shows every piece at its finished size with the seams marked. Your first full pattern for every size is free with an account, ready to copy, download or print.
Every pattern covers women’s XS to 5X and men’s S to 5X, from the Craft Yarn Council charts, or exactly your own measurements.
Each number is computed for every size you choose and written side by side, like “Ch 82 (90, 98)”, with your size highlighted.
Longer body, shorter sleeves, a different neckline: change the option and every count after it is recomputed, not patched.
Counts are checked as the pattern is written, then an independent proofreader re-reads the text and recounts every row, for every size.
The to-scale schematic and the sleeve-cap check show a short body or a tight sleeve before you buy yarn.
The materials list counts the yarn in the pattern’s stitches for each size, in yards, meters and skeins. For blankets, use the crochet yarn calculator.
It fits the measurements and gauge you give it. Use custom sizing with your own measurements, pick the ease you like, and swatch so your gauge matches. The schematic shows the finished size of every piece so you can compare it with a garment you own.
They are checked twice: once as the pattern is written, and again by an independent proofreader that re-reads the finished text and recounts every row for every size.
It is written the way crochet patterns are: US terms, foundation chains, turning chains that don’t count as stitches, shaping spread evenly across rows, and a numbered assembly. Short sample: “Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across — 82 (90, 98) sts.”
Switch on “Use my own gauge” and enter your stitches and rows per 4 inches (10 cm). Every count in the pattern is recomputed from it.
The designer, the to-scale schematic, the seams and assembly diagram, and a preview of the pattern are free. A free account gets your first full pattern free; after that it’s $5.99 a pattern, 5 for $20, or Craft Unlimited ($9.99/month or $99.99/year) for unlimited patterns in every craft.
