Start with a guide
Rows versus stitches
A row is one pass across flat knitting; a round goes around circular work. Stitches are individual loops or crochet stitches. Use separate counters so finishing a row doesn’t erase your stitch count.
Practice with counters →Read a pattern without losing your row
Open the original PDF, find the current section, and note any repeat such as “work rows 3–6 twice.” Mark your place at each repeat, then check the written instructions before moving on.
Import & read patterns →Build a comfortable session
Start a session timer, choose a short goal, and stop when your hands need a rest. Save your project progress before switching apps so your next session starts where you left off.
Rows, stitches & timers →Keep the next instruction clear
Break a long repeat into smaller steps, keep your source pattern available, and use Focus Mode for a quieter view. Always confirm a tricky abbreviation against its original pattern’s glossary.
Explore Focus Mode →From yarn to finished project
Choose a beginner-friendly pattern, compare the yarn weight and recommended needle or hook, make a small gauge sample when fit matters, and keep notes as you work. Slow progress is still progress.
Get started with Loopi →Make your pattern easier to follow
Use an ordered materials list, consistent abbreviations, clearly labeled sizes, and photos that show the construction. Check your work with a test maker before sharing it widely.

Are you an independent knitting or crochet designer who would like to demonstrate a technique with your own photos? We’re gathering interest for future featured Maker guides.
- Send a brief technique outline and a few sample images you own or have permission to license.
- We’ll review fit, accessibility, image quality, and clear step-by-step instructions before choosing any feature.
- We’ll agree on photo usage and the name/shop credit before publishing. No automatic license is granted by emailing us.
- We won’t publish images of other people without the appropriate permissions, and you’ll be able to discuss changes or withdraw a proposal before publication.
- Being featured is voluntary, not a condition of selling in the Marketplace. We are not promising paid commissions or guaranteed placement at this stage.
You can start with a written outline—large image attachments are not needed for your first email.
