Pattern difficulty levels explained

Before choosing a pattern, make sure you’re comfortable with the basic crochet stitches:

slip stitch • single crochet • half double crochet • double crochet • treble crochet

You’ll often find motifs such as the moss stitch or granny stitch in my designs because these drape beautifully and still look great even if your gauge isn’t exact.

Each pattern description specifies:

“You need to be able to [specific stitches/techniques] to use this pattern.

Notes from the designer

These difficulty levels are meant to help you understand what to expect from my patterns, not to limit you. You might find some “hard” techniques easy and others more challenging, and that’s completely normal.

  • My crochet patterns are designed to be intuitive, functional, and printable, suitable for crafting on the go.
  • If you take the time to make a gauge (tension) swatch and block your finished piece, you’ll almost always achieve beautiful results.🌞
