Dear Crochet & Knit Designers… PLEASE STOP!!!

#crochetdesigner #knitdesign #crochet

Are you a crochet or knit pattern designer? I say this with love… some things need to STOP. ❤️🧶 In this video, I'm speaking fully as a maker (but also as a designer!) to share 10 pattern-writing habits that frustrate the community and make crafting harder than it needs to be.

My goal isn’t to drag anyone—it's to help make our crochet and knitting world more organized, more accessible, and way more enjoyable for everyone. If you’re a designer, a maker, or somewhere in between, this video is for you!

✨ In this video, we cover:
-Mislabeling advanced patterns as beginner-friendly
-Leaving errors uncorrected
-Accusing others of copying common designs...and MUCH more!

Whether you agree, disagree, or have your own pet peeves—drop them in the comments so we can discuss respectfully. We’re here to help each other grow. 🧵💬
