Crochet charts
Crochet charts are easier to read than written instructions once you learn how to read them.
You don’t need to be a designer to create charts for patterns. Even as a regular crocheter you can benefit from drawing charts for yourself.
As a designer, it helps your customers to have a chart for your crochet patterns, so here are the articles I wrote to help you decide which software to use to draw your charts.
- Using Stitch Fiddle to create crochet charts
- Is it worth using Crochet Charts for your patterns?
- Should you use Inkscape to draw crochet charts?
- What’s great about using Adobe Illustrator for crochet charts
I also offer charting services for designers if you don’t want to draw them yourself.
Shaping and measurements
These resources are aimed at people who want to design and/or make garments that fit comfortably. They are technical, but very useful if you want to make garments. They also appear in the list of Tunisian crochet resources.

Yarn reviews
If you’re wondering whether to buy a particular yarn, see if there’s a review written about it. I might add more to this once I get some more commonly found yarn, as I currently mostly work with yarn that is available here in Europe.
