My own pattern in the catalog

Why I started this catalog

I wanted an easier way to find patterns. If you want to make something specific, like a doll, but don't know which designer has one, your options are Etsy, social media search or Google.

Etsy is now full of AI scammers. Social media search misses good patterns even when you know they exist. Google mostly turns up free patterns that aren't that well thought through, while the better ones, which are often paid, stay hard to find.

So I'm building one place where you can look for what you want to make and find real designers behind it.

Why list your pattern here

  • More people see your pattern. Crocheters browsing the catalog find it, with a link straight to you.
  • Listed in English and Russian. Your pattern appears in both languages at once, so crocheters who speak either can find it.
  • Another way to be found in search. I write pattern descriptions with Google and other search engines in mind. I can't promise rankings, but people will be able to find your pattern outside the catalog too.

How listing works

  1. You request a listing with a link to your pattern's post on Instagram, Facebook, Etsy, Ravelry or wherever it's published. I take the photo, materials and yarn colors from there.

  2. I check your profile by hand, the same way I check every designer. See how authors are verified

  3. I add your pattern to the catalog with a link to where it's published, along with your name and social links.

Questions designers ask me

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no exclusivity, and you can publish the pattern anywhere else too.

Can I remove it later?

Anytime. Email me at orly@knitka.org or message me on Instagram, Threads, or Reddit.

What do you get from it?

A catalog worth visiting: more good patterns bring more crocheters here, which makes the platform more useful for designers. The catalog will always be free to browse, and your pattern will always be visible to everyone. Later I may add premium features, such as smart search. Right now your feedback helps me most.
