Questions crocheters ask

Can I use a different yarn or hook? Yes. The pattern lists exactly what we used, and any yarn of a similar weight will work. A different yarn or hook size changes the finished measurements, so work a small swatch first if size matters. Our guide crochet gauge explained shows how.

Is the pattern written in UK terms? The PDF is written in US crochet terms, but a UK-terms version is free — choose English (UK terms) from the Pattern language list above and we will email it to you. If you would rather convert as you go, our US to UK conversion chart covers every stitch used here.

Can I get the pattern in my language? Yes, and it costs nothing. There are 20 languages in the Pattern language list above — pick yours before you add to cart. The English PDF downloads straight away; any other language we send by email, usually the same day.

What if I cannot read a pattern yet? Every round is written out in full, with stitch counts and step photos — there are no charts to decode. Our guide on how to read a crochet pattern covers the abbreviations if they are new to you.
