FAQ

Are the patterns really free?

Yes. The whole pattern is on the page: materials, gauge, steps and video lessons. No sign-up, no payment.

Are they good for beginners?

Every pattern shows its level. Filter by “Beginner”: the steps are numbered, you can tick them off as you go, and every technique has a short video.

Can I use a different yarn?

Yes, as long as you get the same gauge as the pattern. The patterns are written for our yarn, so the sizes work out the first time.

Can I print the pattern?

Yes. Tap “Print” on the pattern page: only the pattern is printed, without menus or buttons.

What if I get stuck on a step?

Write to us at hello@thewoolcatcher.com and we will help you finish.
