Crochet Design Course
Want to write and publish your own crochet patterns? Here are 4 great reasons you should use our crochet pattern template and start the Crochet Design Course today:
Publishing Guidelines
Learn more about copyrights and plagiarism when writing and publishing designs and instructions, especially in the crochet world. Review ethical and legal discussions from industry-leading professionals who actually work, write, and publish in the crochet world. Get decades of combined guidance and knowledge in this crochet design course that you won’t find anywhere else.
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.
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.
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.
BONUS… $129 Value
When you join now, you’ll also get the Pattern Launch Formula, a $129 value, as a bonus! The Pattern Launch Formula is the perfect compliment to the Crochet Design Course because it outlines a brilliant strategy to help you design, create, and sell patterns people love and want to buy.
Filled with hours of video and audio, handouts, recorded Q&A sessions, templates and checklists, this course includes:
- How to create irresistible crochet patterns (by solving problems)
- How to start a community (and build your brand)
- The creative process of pattern design (from sketch to sale)
- A complete guide to creating, testing, and releasing patterns (don’t miss a step)
- Templates and checklists for success (easy to use guides)
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.
