A good pattern is only the beginning.

Measure a swatch worked with the same yarn, hook and technique as your project. Enter both stitches and rows over a measured length; they rarely have the same count.

A few things before you start

Is the pattern maker free?+

Yes. Creating, editing and exporting PNG, PDF and project files are free. No account is needed.

Do my photos leave my device?+

No. Image conversion happens in your browser. Images, chart cells and typed text are not sent to an image service.

Will a photo look exactly the same in crochet?+

No. A limited stitch count and palette lose detail. Start with bold shapes, check your measured gauge and make a small swatch before a large project.

Which way do I read a chart?+

Row 1 is at the bottom. With the first row on the right side (RS), right-handed flat work starts right to left and left-handed work starts left to right. Starting on the wrong side (WS) reverses those directions. Flat rows alternate; unturned rounds keep one direction. Match the settings to your technique.

Can I recover a project on another device?+

Download the editable JSON project and import it on the other device. Browser drafts are local; clearing browser storage can remove them.

Are these complete bag or garment patterns?+

No. The tools create colorwork charts and counted rows. Construction, shaping, seams, turning chains and finishing are not included.
