Whether you need an amigurumi pattern, a granny square blanket, a beanie hat, or a garment — just describe your project and get a publication-quality pattern instantly. Grounded in 1M+ professional pattern instructions, not random content.
Photo Stitch Scanner & Row Counter
Identify any crochet stitch from a photo with our free stitch scanner. Upload an image and get the exact technique, hook size, yarn weight, and a row-by-row tutorial.

Left-Handed Mode & UK/US Terms
YarnCro is the only crochet app with a dedicated left-handed mode — generating fully mirrored instructions throughout every pattern.

Includes a size selector from XS to 2XL for garments, hats, and bags.
