Unfortunately we cannot provide every pattern in every size. Each new size requires a considerable amount of labor in order to modify and test the design, and certain patterns will not translate well to larger or smaller sizes. Going forward, you can generally expect adult items to be available in sizes ranging from XS to 2X, but we cannot remake older patterns that do not conform to this sizing guideline.
Can I change the needle size (or hook size) and make a pattern larger or smaller?
In order to be sure the project is the size you intend, you must work to the gauge of the pattern. Changing the needle or hook size is inaccurate and the results may or may not be satisfactory.
How do I convert a crochet pattern to knit (or vice versa)
Knitting and crochet use stitches that are different sizes and shapes.
You can't "convert" a pattern from one to the other. Each pattern must be totally redesigned and even then, it's not always possible.
How do I know if a pattern is too difficult for me (pattern skill ratings)?
For your convenience, all our patterns now indicate skill level.
Level 1 - Beginner: Basic stitches including increasing, decreasing and finishing skills.
Level 2 - Easy (Beginner+): Simple stitch patterns and/or shaping.
Level 3 - Intermediate: More complicated stitch patterns and charts.
Lever 4 - Intermediate+: More than one stitch pattern within one pattern and more involved shaping
Level 5 - Experienced: Intricate stitch and color patterns and/or involved shaping and finishing techniques.
