Crochet Lantern helps you discover crochet projects and make a more informed choice before you start. We bring together pattern picks, comparisons and practical buying guides, with an initial focus on small handmade gifts.
What you will find here
Our collections introduce designs from independent creators and explain the details that help you choose: pattern format, language, materials, construction and available photos or video. We link to the original source for the complete instructions and any purchase.
A clear distinction between research and testing
Crochet Lantern is a pattern discovery publication. We do not claim to have designed or personally crocheted every project we feature. Articles state whether a selection is based on published information or includes hands-on testing. Difficulty ratings supplied by a designer are identified as such.
Respect for designers
Patterns belong to their creators. Our articles are a starting point for discovery, not a replacement for a designer’s tutorial or paid PDF. Please follow the original source for instructions, support and usage terms.
