In a world where so much is monetized, you might wonder why I choose to offer my crochet patterns for free instead of selling them on sites like Etsy. The simple answer? Crochet is more than just a craft—it’s a community, and I believe it should be shared, not locked behind a paywall.
A Craft That Should Be Accessible to All
When I first started crocheting, finding patterns was a struggle. There were so many beautiful designs, but many of them came with a price tag. As a beginner, I wasn’t sure if my projects would even turn out well, and I didn’t want to spend money on patterns when I wasn’t confident in my skills yet. That experience stuck with me, and now that I create my own patterns, I want to make sure others don’t have to face the same challenge.
Community Over Capitalism
Crafting has always been a way for people to connect, pass down skills, and express creativity. But in recent years, there has been a growing trend of turning every hobby into a business. While I respect and support artists who sell their work and patterns, I personally believe that creativity should come first. By sharing my patterns freely, I hope to encourage more people to pick up a hook and experience the joy of making something with their own hands—without worrying about the cost.
Crafting Should Bring People Together
Crochet isn’t just about the end product; it’s about the process, the learning, and the connections made along the way. I love seeing people use my patterns, modify them, and make them their own. When crafting is shared freely, it strengthens the community, allowing more people to join in, learn, and grow together.
