Skill Levels
As creatives, I believe we never stop learning! It's important to begin every project with an open mind, ready to expand our skills. No matter our skill level, we will learn something from every pattern we use.
This is how I rate my patterns:
-
Beginner: Uses only basic stitches, simple shapes, techniques, and sewing
-
Easy: Uses 3-4 stitch types, introduces shaping, simple no-sew techniques, and color changes; use front and back loops
-
Intermediate: Uses 4+ stitch types, more intricate shaping, uses different parts/loops of stitches (3rd loop, posts, linking, etc.), no-sew techniques, surface crochet
-
Advanced: Requires extra concentration, intricate color work and/or shaping
