OpenCrochet is a curated crochet pattern directory with a dedicated tools workspace to help you preview, plan, and publish your next crochet project. Explore a large collection of free, curated patterns and browse with filters designed for quick discovery.

For creators who sell or share their work, OpenCrochet also focuses on listing-ready visuals and pattern workflow. Generate image mockups with consistent styling, draft patterns with AI-assisted prompts, and use tools like a gauge calculator and US ↔ UK term conversion to reduce guesswork.

Additional helpers include a stitch identifier (upload a photo for help identifying stitches and techniques), pattern grading to scale patterns across sizes, and a “Projects” area to keep versions and iterations organized. The toolset is built for indie pattern designers, Etsy sellers, and makers who want a faster, more consistent publishing process.
