Crochet Pattern Writing
Whether you’re new to crochet designing or an experienced designer, I can help turn your dream into a well written pattern!
What’s included in Pattern Writing Services:
Chart and Design Writing
I can take your crochet chart design or your handwritten notes and turn them into a well written crochet pattern with detailed instructions. Pattern will include all the information needed for makers to work your pattern up perfectly!
Style Sheet
As a designer, the best way for others to become familiar with your style and patterns is to have a style sheet. I can help you set up a personalized style sheet that will give you an idea of your own template, format, and layout, and style when writing patterns.
Basic Pattern Grading
I offer basic pattern grading for crochet blanket designs only

How do I get started?
All you have to do to get started is email me! We can discuss details in email or over the phone. I offer one 40 min. video conference at no cost.
How would I get my graph or notes to you?
You can scan them or take photos and email me. I will then get started to put your pattern in your chosen format (Word document, PDF, Google Doc, or Canva {extra charge for Canva})
What forms of payment do you take?
I accept PayPal and most major credit cards. I will also accept checks but won’t be able to get started writing or testing your pattern until the check clears!
How much does it cost?
I charge $15 an hour with a 30 min minimum for pattern writing and $12 an hour for pattern testing. After the minimum I charge in 6-minute increments. For sample making services please email me at sweetbirdcrochet@gmail.com for more information.

Depending on my workload and complexity of your design, it could take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I do my best to work as efficiently as possible because I know how excited you’ll be to have your pattern written out.
What if I'm new to pattern writing and just need some help to get started?
