I have noticed when people say things like, "I am interested in becoming a crochet designer, how would I do that?" the common response is, "Just write it down as you go." Well, that leaves people feeling frustrated because it's not a real answer. It doesn't give you any clear direction where to start, or what the next step is after that.
Becoming a crochet designer can take years if you don't have any clear guidance. Things that inspire you to be creative just go un-designed because you don't know how to gather your inspiration into one place and create something out of it. The other thing you don't have is a support system that can help you through the "that didn't work, now what?" questions.
I know exactly how this feels. I floundered around for years "just writing it down" and putting it out there. I wasted a lot of time having to correct mistakes. It wasn't until I had been designing patterns for more than 10 years that I finally had my support system in place to help me create a better pattern. I want to help you skip those ten years and get right to the successful designer part.
I have developed a course that is geared specifically to help you harness your inspiration into one place, and turn it into a written pattern. By the time you complete this course you should have the confidence to not only design, but to write your pattern, get it tested, and put it up for sale. Whether you crochet as a hobby, or you want to create a business out of it, let me help you go to the next level with your art.
Hi, I’m Biz!
I have been crocheting for 40+ years and designing patterns of all kinds for over 15 of them. My experience ranges from amigurumi to accessories to blankets.
I have more than 100 patterns I have personally published, I have been published by Lion Brand and Happily Hooked Magazine, and I am the host of an annual Christmas Crochet Along on Facebook. My very first sampler afghan pattern called "Faeries" is my most popular pattern to date with more than 51k individual downloads.
I am the designer of the Ugly Christmas Sweater Sampler Blanket from 2018, and I have designed many inspiration sampler blankets based on popular movies and literature, like Nightmare Before Christmas, Little Mermaid, and Grimm's Fairy Tales, just to name a few. I have included some pictures below.
