Editorial policy
By the crochetpatterns.io editorial team · Updated · Editorial policy
Every page on crochetpatterns.io follows the same editorial rules: patterns are written in US terms with stitch counts on every row, reference figures cite their source, computed tables state their method, and corrections are logged publicly with a date.
How patterns are written
Each pattern lists materials, gauge, finished size, abbreviations and notes before the first row. Every row or round ends with the stitch count in parentheses. Repeats are written with asterisks and brackets in a consistent style.
How pages are reviewed before they are indexed
The crochetpatterns.io editorial team is responsible for the content we publish. Automated checks assess completeness, unique content and internal links before a page is offered for indexing. Pages that do not pass remain readable with a noindex directive. An updated date records a content change; it does not certify that a pattern has been test-crocheted. Tester credits and testing status appear separately on each pattern.
Corrections
Mistakes reported through the contact page are checked against a worked sample. Confirmed corrections are made to the pattern and recorded in its errata section with the date of the change.
Figures and data
Hook sizes, yarn weights and standard sizes follow published industry conventions such as the Craft Yarn Council standards, cited on each chart. Yardage and planning tables that we compute ourselves are labelled as estimates and show the formula used.
