Frequently Asked Questions
When/how will I receive my patterns? What do I do if I don’t receive my patterns?
Patterns are sent automatically upon payment and should land in your inbox within minutes! If you don’t see them in your inbox, it is possible they went to your spam/junk folder or that there was a spelling error in your email address. If the patterns aren’t received within 4 hours of payment and you’ve checked your junk folder, please fill out the form below and be sure to include: your full name, the email address you purchased the patterns from, and which pattern(s) you purchased. I strive to answer all emails within 48 business hours (Monday-Friday, excluding weekends and Canadian public holidays).
I don’t understand or need help with a pattern instruction.
No problem! Send me a line using the form below. Please be sure to include: which pattern you are working on, what size you are working on and the page number & specific instruction you are stuck on. (e.g. I’m working on the Danica pullover in size XL and am stuck on round 6 on page 5 of the pattern).
Are my stitches the right size? Should I use the same hook size as you?
Gauge is key in creating a crochet wearable that fits just right. Whichever hook size you need to obtain gauge using the correct weight of yarn is the right hook for you! Click here to see the Gauge Week Blog Series - it will tell you everything you need to know!
What yarn should I use?
Fibre choice is always up to you! Whatever you want against your skin - you don’t need to use what I used. That being said, be sure to use the correct yarn weight, or you may have trouble with fit, drape, and yardage. Check out my full blog post on choosing the right yarn for your projects here, or check out www.yarnsub.com for other yarn ideas!
Will you help me modify the pattern (e.g. change the neckline, shaping, etc)?
Short answer, no. You are welcome to make any and all modifications that you like to my patterns for your personal use and likes. However, I do not offer consultations on making alterations because I cannot guarantee the outcome and this would be very costly, time-wise. If the design does not fit your body correctly as it is written due to your body varying from the Craft Yarn Council standard sizes I use, I will absolutely help you tweak to fit to your body!
I can’t find the images referenced in the pattern or need more help with a specific skill.
For some of my more challenging patterns I have included links to additional resources on page 2 of the pattern. Sometimes these are links to helpful blog posts, links to photos, or links to spreadsheets etc. This helps to keep the patterns a manageable file size and some makers may not require the additional resources. Page 2 also contains a lot of notes & information to help you succeed in making the design!
