How To Make Money With Patterns

Coming up with new crochet designs may be your passion, but understanding and implementing business models and strategies is what will get you, and your work, noticed.

Learn different ways crochet patterns can generate revenue: write for books and magazines, sell patterns individually, or offer content online for free.

This crochet design course outlines how the yarn industry actually earns money from the patterns they publish, helping you to choose the best ways to publish your work based on your own goals.

“My heart lies in the designing…

and to have it clearly stated by someone who has been successful in this industry for a long time that there *are* other ways to be successful in this field is so refreshing.”

Crochet Pattern Templates

Writing patterns that a universal audience can read, understand, and follow with next to zero questions should be your goal, and templates will help!

This Crochet Design Course includes pattern templates, and shows you how to key in your own pattern details so that you can write your own unique crochet patterns like a pro!

You’ll also learn how to work through the entire process of hand-testing and tech-editing crochet patterns before you publish them.

“All of the homework / action steps were exceptional!

Thank you Salena!”

Learn To Write Any Pattern

Learn the universal language, terms, standards, acronyms, and math involved in writing any design you can crochet, in any skill level you can imagine!

You may already know how to crochet like a pro, but being able to write instructions in a way that anyone can read and follow is a completely different skill. Don’t reinvent what is already created, defined, and universally recognized; your “personal style” will shine through in your unique design, and not the pattern format or instructions you create.

“Great Course…

Clear information on pattern writing!”

“I just want to say that Salena Baca is a genius!!

I’m already seeing improvements in my biz by implementing these steps.”

Courtney W.

Crochet Pattern Writing Student

The ACA is made and managed by Salena Baca, a crochet professional, just for people who love crochet.

My goal is to assure universal crochet standards, guidelines, and practices are accessible, so that crochet will be passed through the generations in better hands than we found it. I created the Crochet Design Course to share everything I learned after publishing 400+ individual patterns, writing over 100 patterns for crochet books and magazines, authoring 8 crochet books (and counting), and starting 2 online crochet magazines.

You can view most of my crochet publishing resume on Ravelry, right here.

“Wonderful to hear that I don’t need to pay $30/hour to a tech editor (which I have unfortunately done for a 12 line square) for every pattern, because I am educated by the ACA and I should have the confidence to tech edit myself, because I know industry standard practices and terms.”

Pam E.

I have been dabbling in the traffic generation/free pattern route and it is exhausting.

This course has given me so much clarity about my next steps. Thank you so much!
