Craftuary

Works out stitches, starting chain, rows and yarn for a crochet or knit blanket or scarf, the C2C grid for a size, or how to increase or decrease evenly from one stitch count to another. Same maths as Craftuary's free calculators.

craft_calculator

Counts every round of a written crochet pattern (US terms) and reports which rounds' printed stitch counts don't match the stitches the round actually makes, before anyone crochets it. Paste the pattern text, rounds or rows with their counts, e.g. 'Rnd 2: inc in each st around (12)'. Returns rounds read, counts matched and the rounds to look at, with a link to the full round-by-round report.

check_crochet_pattern

Explains a stitch or technique in plain words (e.g. 'magic ring', 'single crochet', 'invisible decrease', 'French knot', 'cast on') and links to Craftuary's free lesson or guide with a 3D step-by-step diagram.

explain_stitch

Finds free crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, knitting and sewing patterns on craftuary.com that match what the maker wants (e.g. 'free crochet bunny', 'easy Christmas ornament', 'embroidery hoop flowers'). Returns up to 6 patterns with a photo, size, yarn and a link to the free pattern page. The pattern itself is on the page.
