A lot of this is great advice thank you. It’s very similar to how to got into crochet. I would rather learn more then scramble later. I knew absolutely nothing about crochet. Dove in with granny squares (non traditional and did it by magic circle AND ring. Jumped in deep end and crocheted squares as I continued to learn. Now I keep a journey journal, and immerse myself in it all. I’m happy I stumbled upon your video 🧡
This video is amazing! This is how I make patterns but in my head I always feel like I suck at it since I have to make so many prototypes. I just assumed that everyone else was naturally good at it and I was the only one who had to make so many before I liked it.
Thank you so much for sharing this video it was really helpful as I’m trying to mix and match some patterns to create my own rabbit pattern for the first time ever and I’m really nervous too as to how is it going to turn out though.
This is good information. My only issue is that there has been an onslaught of patterns on etsy that are written so incorrectly. I have had to research the shop to see how long the seller has actually been crocheting and writing patterns. I wish people would actually learn how to read the pattern prior to writing a pattern. Patterns should be reviewed by a certified crochet teacher prior to any publication. Yes, it costs money, but you are selling to consumers and don't accept refunds in pdfs.
I can't yarn under to save my life but I can bauble stitch lol. My tension is too tight yarn over so yarn under I cannot seem to get in to the stitches
Thank you for all the helpful tips! I've been thinking about trying to create my own patterns for a while. One question though: since as you mentioned, so many base structures are very similar, how do you avoid unintentionally copying someone else's pattern? Like I know you can differentiate it with the details (such as the pajamas) but aren't there probably a lot of similar base structures for a lot of different patterns? And it's probably impossible to check every single one. Would another pattern creator be upset if you somehow ended up with the exact same structure, even if the final look was different? Idk, I might be over thinking it...
Hello! So as it is true that base structures can be made the same way, it’s still very possible to have a unique pattern. That’s why the inspiration and research phase is so important! So when I research, I look and see what kind of bear patterns are out there. Are they standing, sitting, cartoon-y, realistic? The answer to these help you build a unique pattern. For me, I didn’t really see any baby bears, and if I did, they weren’t as big as I was going, they didn’t use velvet yarn, and they weren’t standing. So when I went to do my project, I included all of those. I haven’t been able to find a baby bear pattern yet that looks like mine, (is the same size, material, concept), and that is how you make an original pattern☺️
I actually was forced into making a pattern some time before because there was no existing pattern for what I needed. Ended up being fine, I just making a sphere body and really simple accessories
Hi, I have a question about the pattern testing. I'm not sure how I can tell my testers whether they have been chosen to test or not. Also I'm not sure how I should send them the pattern. Thank you so much for this video it helped a lot!
