This is by far the best "design a pattern" guide I have seen yet. Everyone else I've seen says, "Come up with an idea, sketch it out, crochet and revise..." etc. The fact that you walked us through an example was HUGE. I felt like I actually understood for the first time. Thank you! Loving your content.
This is a good tutorial if someone wants to design. I have several decades of crocheting behind me and I appreciate your language used in the pattern. It's written the same way as it always has. (Not everyone is doing this now) My only suggestions are R is for Row and Rnd is for round. I do wish as an influencer, you would have a disclaimer that if you are a beginner you should master the craft prior to writing/selling patterns or teaching. There has been an onslaught of "tutorials" (not on your channel) where stitches etc are being taught incorrectly. Well done on your part.
“It’s very similar but the exact opposite” finally someone said this sentence apart from me and it actually makes sense lol I love your channel so much ❤❤❤
Genna, could you do a video on like all the materials/ supplies you use for you Etsy shop(EVERYTHING like also packages, stickers, etc.) I just started my own Etsy shop and I am a bit stuck on what I need and where I could get it. I love your videos❤️
This was the most perfectly detailed explanation of pattern design ever!! I've been interested in making my own patterns but had absolutely no idea how to go about it. I feel like I could design anything now, and it's super exciting! Thank you so so much! I will definitely be referencing back to this video regularly.
Thank you Genna for this video, you give such great information for me who is finding it harder and harder as I grow older to listen and understand these things. I've always written out patterns for my own remembering for those times you put something down and don't get back to it for years, so I find this very interesting
Hi Genna. I do not watch your channel, but my 11yo daughter is a big fan of your work. She even bought some of your patterns from Etsy. So thanks for everything you do! Is there reason some of your videos are age-restricted, but others are not? Your content seems to me completely safe.
Seriously, this is a very well done tutorial. I have not come across any video yet that talks about the function of different stitches, what they do and how to consider using them. You won the game with this video. Thank you
Hi Genna! You probably won’t see my comment, but I’m currently watching your video and I’m feeling confident already and better about my ability to create patterns so thank you so much I appreciate you I recently subscribed and my experience on your channel has been the best tysm 😊❤🥰
This is VERY helpful and i am 10 years old are started crocheting a year ago this month and used this video to make my own patterns and so fare i have made a Jellyfish pattern and now I am working on a strawberry pattern! PS love your videos and shorts
Thank you so much for this video! Understanding what the stitches do is what I needed to know. I would love to design my own patterns. I love making Amigurumi's. 😊
Hi Genna , my name is Kupa and I love your channel. I’ll be starting my business very soon sometime this year and I’m only 12. But you have inspired me so much.So thank you for all you do.🤗
Wow perfect timing Genna! I was thinking about suggesting a "how to write crochet patterns" video a few days ago and here it is! so thank you, It was super helpful!
Finally a guide where it is not all talk and really shows the procedure including the actual writing of the pattern! (Most of the ones I saw don't show how to write the pattern) I haven't watched this fully yet but I save this to watch later! Thank you so much ❤
Genna, thank you so much for this! I watched a video yesterday, and she was talking about why she doesn't publish her patterns so she is exclusive with her creations. She also doesn't share prices, market breakdown results, etc. Just not her thing. I liked her, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you and a few others you have shouted out are so generous with sharing how to get started and what works for you all., and your tutorials are priceless. I am 59, and new to amigarumi. I don't see markets in my future, but I love learning new crochet things. Keep up the great work! ❤
Genna!!! I've been crocheting for almost 8 years by patterns only, but lately I've been feeling kinda imprisoned by seeing things i like but can't make without a pattern. I love this so much! Thank you ❤
Oh my gosh thank you soo much. I’ve been crocheting for I think about a year now and I’ve been wanting to get into making patterns, but no other video actually explains everything like this! Especially what stitches to use when, what they do, etc. Thank you so much ❤
This is so spooky and hopefully meant to be! I can crochet things well now I've been doing it 2 years and just thought yesterday to give a go at creating a pattern and I had no idea you were doing this video next ! 😁
Genna!!!! Thank you so much!!!! You inspired me to start my own etsy shop!!! I havent yet :( but cuz im a student i prob wont have enough time to make physical items for my shop, so im going to start a shop for patterns!!! Thank you for being an amazing person and i love you sm!!!
I was just watching your moving vlog while designing a pattern for a frog. 🐸 (Love watching you while working. Could watch your videos all day long.) Once the video ended, this video came on. I did watch it before, but of course, who would mind rewatching. Especially while designing along. I am doing so many things the same way. 😂 I just grab a hook and start to crochet too. Well, and then I frog, crochet, frog, crochet, frog, scribble, and on and on it goes. 🤭 Sadly my costume maker brain wants to sew, sew, sew... 😩 Does anyone like to sew parts? I do... Somehow I feel like I might be alone in that. 😅 Can't wait to finish this design and eventually take the plunge to upload. Just came on to say that it's a lot of fun to design alongside. ❤ Get settled into your new house.
Hey Genna, I opened my Etsy shop a few days ago, and I don't know how to get people to know that my shop is there? How can I direct people to my shop? I'd really like to know. Thanks so much!
This video was super helpful thank you! One of the things that I think is the hardest part of pattern designing is knowing how to make different shapes. And what stitch patterns will make different shapes. So could you make a video teaching how to crochet basic shapes? I think that would be super helpful. ❤❤
OMG Genna! This video is amazing 🤩!!! It is incredible that you made this video! I'm so excited to follow these steps and make my first ever pattern! I also think you should finish the purple nessie/dragon that is up on your shelf (I cant remember which it is 😅)
Great ideas. My suggestion for body is do Dec to the 18sc, & do another row of 18sc. Then do the Dec to 12sc, & do a 2nd row of 12sc. That should give a better shape to the chest area of a bear. As for the ears, sew around the 8sc or sc across to close then sew onto head in a curved shape? Which would look better? Thank you for you ideas. Love you😘💖btw, did you get moved to Fresno yet?
I am writing a pattern because I want to sell them and I could not find a tutorial on the internet or you tube. there are some but they are just talking, not explaining like you are. soTHANK YOU!.
Hi Genna, would you consider doing another video with more advanced techniques for pattern writing (i.e.in video you said it's basics/beginner so you aren't going into tons of details, but would you consider doing this for all of us seasoned crocheters who are terrified of writing their own patterns but also really want to?) Thnx, love your videos!
Im new to crocheting and I tried to learn before but lost so much confidence and motivation that after watching your videos I want to try again. I want to be able to make plushies and clothes to hopefully sell on my upcoming shop. I really want to buy the human sized turtle pattern and make my own pattern someday as well. Thank you for lighting the fire within me to start making things. I just need to buy better yarn first lol
Hi Genna! Great video! So I was wondering if there's a difference between starting an increasing row with a SC or starting with an INC. I have seen a couple patterns do the INC first, making me wonder if it makes a difference. It throws me off sometimes because most patterns seem to use SC lol. I hope that made sense 😅
If you used white yarn instead and crocheted a scarf, it would look like a bear snowman that I think is a cute idea that could totally be sold as part of like a seasonal Christmas catalogue or release on someone’s shop
Thank you so much for the video I didn't know how to create a PDF it's a cute snowman bear. Bears have fat bellies. Just and arms and feet. Perfect bear ❤
If your testers find a lot of mistakes in your pattern, do you ask them to test it again once you fixed them or do you fix it then find new testers? Do you have to pay testers or do they just get to keep the pattern?
How is it different between this 2 A - 1st round magic ring(6) , 2nd round increase (12) , 3rd round sc, inc (18) . And B- 1st round magic ring (6) , 2nd round sc , inc (12) , 3rd round 2sc , inc(18)? Like how does it make any difference to the shape or whatever im trying to make . Sorry im very beginner i dont get how things are different and how it works . I even crocheted both but yet i cant tell the difference!
I have a question, there’s this character I wanna crochet and I have pictures of him on my phone instead of drawing him can I just use that instead? Also where do you get your yarn from like the 5mm ones that fuzzy

Hi. I really like your videos so I'm hoping you can help me. I have a shoulder inju6that requires an extra kater of warmth. I get hot very easily and I can wear a sweater or shrug. I want a single shoulder wrap that has a strap to stay on. I have searched and only found electric ones that would suit my needs. Can you please tell me how to proceed?

Great video thank you for sharing have a wonderful week😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Hi Genna, I am new to crochet but I love your crochet hook. What brand is the sparkling handled one?
Hi ! I would like to ask you..which do you prefer physical product or digital products?
Hi Genna! Great video!
So I was wondering if there's a difference between starting an increasing row with a SC or starting with an INC. I have seen a couple patterns do the INC first, making me wonder if it makes a difference. It throws me off sometimes because most patterns seem to use SC lol. I hope that made sense 😅
Great video!!❤❤❤ Are you going to make a tutorial for the macaron turtle?
If you used white yarn instead and crocheted a scarf, it would look like a bear snowman that I think is a cute idea that could totally be sold as part of like a seasonal Christmas catalogue or release on someone’s shop

Hi Genna ❤😊
Wish I could create things like this but don’t have the patience I don’t think but recently started to learn punch needle
Hi! I was wondering how to give the pattern to testers
You said to email them but is there any other ways to send it to them?
Love your videos. What if we call the Bear..Rolly Polly Bear, 😂 he turned out so cute.
If your testers find a lot of mistakes in your pattern, do you ask them to test it again once you fixed them or do you fix it then find new testers? Do you have to pay testers or do they just get to keep the pattern?
How is it different between this 2
A - 1st round magic ring(6) , 2nd round increase (12) , 3rd round sc, inc (18) .
And
B- 1st round magic ring (6) , 2nd round sc , inc (12) , 3rd round 2sc , inc(18)?

It would be helpful if you reuploaded this with visuals for the stitches you are talking about…. I want to see what they would look like in a graft
Thank you, it was helpful! I made 2 patterns but not finished it for testers. Maybe I wil make it in 2027 )
Where do I release my pattern?
الله يرحم والديك والله🙂🌹
