Knitting and crochet pattern tutorials with stitch schemes, texture ideas, motifs, and practical project examples.
BeginnerFreeA step-by-step frog hat tutorial: materials, taking measurements, crocheting the crown top-down, calculating the crown size by wedge or gauge, the plain lower section without increases, eyes, pupils, assembling the face, and a separate knitting pattern for the frog headband.
IntermediateFreeStep-by-step instructions for a girl's sweater for ages 4 to 12 (three sizes): the amount of Viking Bjork Yarn you'll need, a gauge of 25 stitches per 10 cm, knitting the back-and-front piece and the sleeves in the round in 1x1 ribbing and stockinette stitch, joining the pieces into a yoke, and working the yoke decreases from the chart.
BeginnerFreeLearn mosaic crochet: how to read the chart, work it in rows, crochet it in the round, and expand it from the center — all without long floats on the wrong side.
IntermediateFreeTwo ways to knit a neat sock toe: the ribbon method, with decreases worked every other round and then every round, and the spiral method, with the decrease shifted over by one stitch each time. The source shows an example for 16 stitches per needle and binding off the last 4 stitches.
Beginner1 hr 30 minFreeA step-by-step tutorial for crocheting a market bag: work a round base in single crochet, move on to a mesh body in a simple chain-stitch pattern, work in rounds to the desired height, and finish the handles — sturdy crocheted ones, thin flat ones, or leather ones on carabiners.
IntermediateFreeDetailed instructions and charts for crocheting an oval base three ways: a dense base in single crochet for bags and baskets that need a narrow base that holds its shape well, a base in double crochet for airier, lacier bags with a wider, smoother curve, and an openwork base with a dense center and airy edges.
BeginnerFreeA step-by-step tutorial for crocheting a bucket bag from T-shirt yarn: a sturdy base reinforced with cord, single crochet walls, an 80 cm strap, and assembling the strap closure.
Beginner4 hrFreeA tutorial for knitting a kids' owl hat: cast on and knit the brim in stockinette stitch, divide the stitches with markers into front and back halves, work the owl from a chart on the middle section of the front, continue in garter stitch or 2x2 ribbing depending on the version, then close the crown with a seamless technique on the needles. There are two versions — a girl's version in stockinette with garter stitch, and a boy's version in 2x2 ribbing — plus charts for a large and a small owl and sizing tips for preschoolers.
BeginnerFreeTwo ways to knit a women’s neck warmer: stockinette with raglan increases and 2 x 2 ribbing with a rounded lower edge, including stitch calculations, photos, and a video.
BeginnerFreeCrochet cup pattern for a top, sundress, or swimsuit: sizes XS-XL, starting chain length, number of rows, shaping the top point, and fitting the cup.
BeginnerFreeIrish lace is assembled from flower and foliage motifs joined with a fine mesh. This tutorial shows two crocheted leaves: the detailed textured motif begins with a chain of 17 stitches and has picots along the edge, while the simplified version begins with a chain of 15 stitches.
BeginnerFreeThe source presents a textured, reversible pleated pattern for a knitted skirt or dress. The fabric is worked in knit and purl stitches, with the pleats formed in garter stitch. It gives the Sahara yarn composition, a cast-on rule for 2.5 cm-wide pleats, and a written sequence for the first three rows; however, the pattern repeat notation needs to be checked on a swatch.
BeginnerFreeSmall amounts of colorful leftover yarn can be crocheted into individual diamond motifs for a blanket. Begin with a central cross, enlarge the diamond with a new yarn color, and join the motifs as you crochet the final row.
BeginnerFreeThe source explains a summer raglan top with Japanese lace, worked top-down from the neckline. The central pattern combines leaves and a lace zigzag; its repeat is 31 stitches and 12 rows when worked in the round. The instructions are for Russian size 48 but give conflicting cast-on counts: 144 in the text, 141 later, and 140 plus 1 in the chart. The author confirms a typo in a comment, so check the calculation against a swatch and the chart before starting.
BeginnerFreeThis olive and white beanie is worked sideways in short rows. The source gives an example for a 56 cm head circumference and a 26 cm hat height, at a gauge of 2.5 single crochet stitches per centimeter, using a wedge that begins with 65 chain stitches. It rounds 56 ÷ 6 to 9 wedges; check the count against your swatch and desired fit.
