The Pattern Design Series is geared towards crocheters who want to learn how to write, publish, and sell their own crochet patterns. In this series you will learn everything you need to be a successful crochet pattern designer.

Ok so by now you know writing crochet patterns is technical writing.  You know what to include in your crochet patterns and you have created a killer stylesheet. Now what?

Now it is time to publish your crochet pattern!

Some of these sites are places for you to publish your crochet pattern free of charge.  Others are selling platforms only.  Deciding between free or selling is a topic for a different day.

One thing to remember is you do not have to choose just one site.  You can and should use multiple sites to attract a wider audience.

The queen of all marketplaces to sell anything handmade.  Etsy is well known and pretty easy to get started selling your patterns, however it has also gotten huge!  As of 2017, there were 1.93 million Etsy sellers!

This past year (2018), Etsy increased their fees. The biggest one was increasing the transaction fee from 3.5% to 5%.  It might not seem like a lot, but the increase over time adds up.

One of the downsides to Etsy is, although it millions of buyers, it also means you need to figure out how to get yourself seen.  Hint: Etsy is all about SEO.

I recommend listing your pattern on several sites, but if you want to just dip your toe in, then start with Ravelry.  You can connect with other designers, people in your area, and it also has its own sub-Reddit.

You can choose to list your pattern for free or sell it.  Ravelry charges a service fee if you sell more than $30/month.  It again changes when you hit the $1500 threshold.

Resource: Ravelry Shopkeepers 

Where Etsy is a marketplace, Shopify is e-commerce.  Meaning Shopify allows you to sell from Facebook or your own website.  You have more control over what your shop looks like and it is your own shop.  If you have a lot of traffic to your site already then Shopify might work for you.  They have different monthly plans and different fees.

Resource: Shopify can range from $9/month for Shopify Lite to $299/month for Advanced Shopify

As the site says this is a spot for free crochet patterns.   If you have a free pattern you would like to share, then this is a fantastic resource for you.   They have a lot of tutorials and downloads.  Plus they will occasionally round up the most popular pattern of a specific category and make them available in a downloadable book.

This free crochet Easter Egg pattern is absolutely addictive!

Get ready for a really fun and fast crochet project! These crochet Easter eggs can be made in any size or color. String five or six together for a festive garland. Sew onto a blanket or table cloth. Use as clothing or backpack patches, really the possibilities are endless.

Have fun with different yarn colors, weights, and crochet hooks. I tried to show how using different yarns and hooks can give any size you need.

Try your hand at embroidery to add a special touch to these eggs. I’m not very good at embroidery, but I won’t stop trying.

Here is a good tutorial for simple embroidery flowers: How to embroider flowers – 16 simple stitches

This tutorial is written using US crochet terminology in the following abbreviations:

CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet

SC2TOG = Single crochet 2 stitches together = Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop. You will have 2 loops on your hook. Then insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

Hook Size

Use a hook size to get the size you need.

The CH1 at the end of each row does not count as a stitch.

The last stitch in each row should be made in the turning chain. This gives a nice, even edge.

Crochet over your ends and weave them in as you go to reduce the amount of finishing at the end.

Count your stitches, especially those SC rows. It is easy to miss a stitch in the beginning of the rows.

Chain 9
Row 1: SC in each stitch, CH 1, turn 1 = 8 SC
Row 2: Make 2 SC in 1st/turning stitch, SC in the next 6 stitches, 2 SC in last stitch, CH1, turn = 10 SC
Row 3: Make 2 SC in 1st/turning stitch, SC in the next 6 stitches, 2 SC in last stitch, CH1, turn = 12 SC
Rows 4-8: SC in each stitch, CH1, turn = 12 SC
Row 9: SC2TOG, SC in the next 8 stitches, SC2TOG, CH1, turn = 10 SC
Row 10: SC in each stitch, CH1, turn = 10 SC
Row 11: SC2TOG, SC in the next 6 stitches, SC2TOG, CH1, turn = 8 SC
Row 12: SC in each stitch, CH1, turn = 8 SC
Row 13: SC2TOG, SC in the next 4 stitches, SC2TOG, CH1, turn = 6 SC
Row 14: SC in each stitch, CH1, turn = 6 SC
Row 15: SC2TOG, SC in the next 2 stitches, SC2TOG, CH1, turn = 4 SC
Row 16: SC in each stitch, CH1, turn = 4 SC

Break off yarn and weave in all ends.

Use same yarn or switch to a different color.

Row 1: SC in each stitch and row around, join with a slip stitch to beginning stitch.

Break off yarn and weave in all ends.

Recently I was at Michaels, doing some much needed retail therapy, when their Caron Cotton Cakes display caught my eye. 

I’ll be honest, I’m not a 100% fan of some of the earlier Caron Cakes. They felt weird to me, but I have since come around especially their Cotton Cakes. I can’t tell you how much I love the Cotton Cakes

This is NOT a sponsored review.  I purchased this yarn all on my own.

I picked them up, squeezed them, petted them, compared all the colors, put one of each in my basket, put them all back, wandered around the yarn aisles several times before coming back and putting three of the Garden Path cakes in my basket.

Caron Cotten Cakes is the latest in a long of line of multi-color, self-striping yarns that have been filling up Instagram and Pinterest since 2016.  The allure of these cakes is they are made up of 4-6 colors in complimentary colors.  If you have ever had trouble figuring out what colors go best for a project and you find the color wheel confusing (like I do), then these cakes are your best friend.

Caron Cotton Cakes in Nested Blues

Caron Cotton Cakes come in a beautiful, variety of pastel colors, so perfect for any spring or summer project.

Despite the name, Caron Cotton Cakes are not 100% cotton.  They are 60% cotton and 40% acrylic.  I didn’t realize this until after I got them home.  Talk about disappointing!  I still would have bought them, but I couldn’t help feeling mildly annoyed when I realized they were a blend.

Each cake is 3.5 oz/100g and 211 yards/ 193 meters.  It is machine washable and dryable. The recommended crochet hook size is 5mm whereas the knitting needle recommended size is 4.5mm.

When I bought the Caron Cotton Cakes, I already had  the Reverie Shawl in mind.  Sometimes, though, you can start out with a project in mind but once you start working with a yarn that project can change.  Thankfully that did not happen with this yarn.

As I got halfway through the first skein, the colors started to unfold even more beautifully, than I could have imagined.  For me the highlight of Garden Path is the greyish/brownish color.  That dark color gives the shawl depth.

Caron Cotton Cakes in Garden Oasis

The yarn felt silky, yet sturdy.  It glided though my fingers easily.  It did slip off my crochet hook a few times, but the majority of the time stayed in place. 

I think my favorite aspect of the yarn was it did not snag. I had to frog a couple of rows and it came apart easily.  Also it did not snag on my very dry, cracked hands.  I know that sounds weird but if you’ve ever worked with yarn with extremely dry, cracked hands then know what I’m talking about.

Even though the recommended crochet hook size is 5mm, I felt it actually needed a smaller.  For The Reverie Shawl, I used a 4mm crochet hook.

The Reverie Shawl in progress. These colors are absolutely gorgeous! Even better in real life.

It is not 100% cotton, so it cannot be used for potholders, towels, dishcloth, or anything other kitchen needs.  It is for fashion or home decor projects only.

I also hope they make more cakes beyond the pastel colors.  I think the pastel colors are beautiful, I would just love to see more jewel tones in this yarn blend.

Recommended Projects

Considering, 2 months ago, I didn’t even know Caron Cotton Cakes even existed, I’ve made up for lost time by falling completely in love with them.

It sells out very quickly, so if you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend it.  I found the yarn very easy to work with and easy to care for, in fact I enjoyed it so much I bought more!

When I made the first purchase I bought 3 cakes thinking it would be enough.  Silly me!  The Reverie Shawl and a hat took 4.5 cakes.  When I ordered 3 more from Michaels to finish the shawl, I decided to buy some additional colors, not enough to qualify for free shipping, but enough to keep me busy for a while

This yarn calculator will help you estimate the total yarn needed for a crochet or knit a project.

When I was organizing my yarn stash, I came across a plastic bag of all the smaller balls of yarn. I knew what brand they were, but I had no idea how much yarn I actually had. So I set off to figure out exactly what I had.

It turns out there is, it involves a bit of math, a little converting, more math and converting back.  Doable, but hardly simple or quick.  My crochet journal was starting to look more like an 8th grade math homework book.

The yarn calculator was created out of my desire to not have to scribble math formulas all over my crochet journal anymore and also know how much yarn I have.

This yarn calculator has been my go-to resource not just to figure out how much yarn I have left to use, but also when I write new patterns. Rather than estimating via skeins, my patterns now contain a more accurate amount of yarn needed.

Taylor Kitchen Scale from Amazon

The yarn calculator is based on weight and will help you figure out exactly how much yarn you’ve used or have left, in yards and meters.

To use the yarn calculator is pretty simple.  You need 3 things:

1. The original yarn label or Google if you know the brand but no longer have the label
2. A scale.  I use this simple kitchen scale (affiliate link) from Amazon
3. The yarn you want to use.

I really hope the yarn calculator helps you figuring out how much yarn you have and saves your crochet journal from math scribbles.

Out of all the crochet hearts I have made, this version is by far the absolute easiest. Each crochet heart takes less than 5 minutes and less about 1 yard of yarn each! That’s it!

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS,
VIEW MY DISCLOSURE POLICY HERE FOR DETAILS.

This Easy Crochet Heart, is the perfect stash buster. I have used this pattern to make loads of hearts, all different sizes. Sometimes I will use a light yarn if I need a delicate applique for a baby hat. I’ve also used bulky yarns to make larger ones.

My kids love to play with these hearts, so more often than not, I will find them mixed with their toys.

I never worry about having too many crochet hearts because I know the will be used eventually. Some will become adornments for hats, blankets, or scarfs. Some will be put into the kid’s art boxes to for future creations, while others might just be photos props!

I’m saving a few so the kids can make their Dad a Valentine’s Day card.

If you look a the picture below, you can see I made several different sizes using bulky yarn, wool yarn, worsted weight, and light yarn. Each was made using this same tutorial but with 4 different crochet hook sizes.

You don’t have to use only yarn either. I wanted to make a couple out of jute but I only had a small 8 inch piece. You could also use ribbon, rope, or any other yarn-like material you have.

I started working on it while sitting in my mom’s hospital room.  If you have ever had to sit in a hospital room of a loved one, you know there isn’t much to do except worry.  So that is what I did.  I poured all my worry, frustration, and  love into this shawl. I cannot tell you how many times I had to to start over, because my tension was all over the place.

When I started working on this, I knew it was going to be for my mom.  I mean, being there with was was the whole reason I started it.  I wanted it to be light and breathable.   My parents live in Texas, so lightweight is beyond necessary.  Caron Cotton Cakes was an obvious choice, especially since that was the only yarn I had on me!
