Crochet, without the guesswork

Never buy the wrong amount of yarn again.

Crochets is the crochet app that does your pattern math (chains, rows and the exact yarn), shows you a preview of your finished piece before you start, and teaches every stitch in the hand you crochet with.

The crochet app that does your pattern math, previews your finished piece and teaches stitches left- or right-handed.

Sound familiar?

Six things crocheters say again and again in forums and app reviews. Each one became a rule for how Crochets works.

The complaint

Running out of yarn a few rows from the end. Or buying three balls too many, just in case.

What we do: Every design tells you how much yarn to buy before you start, with a little spare built in.
The complaint

Stitch counts that don't add up. Steps missing, rows that end one stitch short, and no one to ask.

What we do: Your pattern is worked out from your own chart by fixed rules, with a stitch count at the end of every row.
The complaint

Losing your place and ripping it all out. One phone call and you no longer know which row you were on.

What we do: Paste any pattern you're following, from a book, a PDF or a blog, and tap each row as you finish it. Your place saves itself.
The complaint

Everything is filmed right-handed. Left-handers get told to "just reverse it in your head".

What we do: Lessons come with left-handed videos, and charts and patterns follow your working direction.
The complaint

US or UK terms? Nobody says. The same word means two different stitches, and you find out ten rows in.

What we do: Choose US or UK once. Every pattern, lesson and abbreviation follows it.
The complaint

A lovely photo on a pattern that can't be made. More and more patterns are machine-written and never worked by a person.

What we do: Patterns here come from your own chart by fixed rules, lessons are by real teachers credited by name, and any computer-generated picture is labelled as one.

Step 1

Say what you're making

Pick a project and a size, in cm or inches. Crochets calculates the foundation chain, stitches per row, rows, turning chains and the exact yarn to buy. Your own gauge swatch makes it millimetre-accurate.

Step 2

Paint the stitches

Tap stitches onto the grid. The written pattern comes straight from your squares, row by row, in US or UK terms and in your working direction, with a stitch count at the end of every row.

Step 3

See it, then keep the pattern

One tap generates a preview of your finished piece: texture, stitch heights, drape. It's computer-generated from your own chart, and always labelled that way. Then download it as a pattern PDF with a stitch diagram in standard crochet symbols, buy exactly the yarn it worked out, and follow it row by row with the built-in counter.

New · works with the patterns you already have

Stuck on someone else's pattern? Paste it in.

Copy the rows from any pattern and paste them into Crochets. It turns them into a list you work through one row at a time, and explains any row that doesn't make sense.

Susi, the left-handed crocheter Crochets is built in memory of
Why this exists

My mum, Susi, was left-handed. I watched how hard it was for her to learn crochet from videos and patterns made for right-handers. She has passed away, and Crochets is how I remember her. This is her legacy: a place where no left-hander has to translate anything in their head.

I've never held a crochet hook. Is this for me?

Especially you. Onboarding asks your level and dream first make, then starts you at a 2-minute slip knot lesson. Every abbreviation is tap-to-explain.

Can I use it with patterns I already have?

Yes. Paste the rows from any pattern (a book, a PDF, a blog post) into the Pattern Reader. You tick off each row as you finish it, your place is saved, and any row you're unsure about is explained in plain words with a stitch diagram. One pasted pattern is free; Plus lets you keep as many as you like.

I'm left-handed. Will I actually be able to follow along?

Yes. It's one of the reasons Crochets exists. Lessons come with left-handed videos, and charts and written patterns mirror for left-handers. One toggle, set once.

Are the patterns AI-generated?

No. The patterns you design are compiled by fixed rules from the squares you paint, so every row and stitch count adds up. Lessons use videos by real crochet teachers, each credited by name. AI is only used for the finished-piece preview picture and for reading photos in the free Stitch Identifier, where anything it drafts is labelled “AI draft”.

Will I waste money on yarn for something that won't look right?

That's what the preview is for: paint your chart, see a computer-generated preview of the finished piece, and only then buy yarn, with the exact amount worked out for you.

I learned UK terms / I think in inches. Problem?

None. Pick US or UK terms and cm or inches once during onboarding. Every pattern, lesson and calculator follows your choice everywhere.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep your account, projects and the free tier forever. We email you before any renewal. No silent charges. Cancelling takes two clicks, and there are no trial traps to begin with.

How do I delete my account?

Email hello@crochets.app from the address you signed up with and ask us to delete it. We delete your account, saved patterns, projects and progress within 30 days and reply to confirm. If you pay for a plan, cancel it first (Plans, then Manage subscription) so it does not renew.
