Live Video Chat - "Are Beginner and Easy Crochet patterns the Same?" | Posh Pooch Designs

On This Weeks Live Video Chat with Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

We are discussing the Question, 

"Are Beginner and Easy Crochet Patterns
 the Same?"

The Answer is "NO"!

The Crochet Skill Levels Beginner and Easy

 are not the same.

See The Live Video on my Youtube channel
 at This LINK

Here is a Basic Description of the Crochet Pattern 
Skill Levels

Beginner - Projects for first-time crocheters using basic 

stitches and techniques. Minimal shaping. 

( For Example - slip stitches, Single Crochet, Double Crochet, half Double Crochet)

Easy - Projects using basic stitches and techniques, 

repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, 

and some shaping.

(For Example - Front post and Back post stitches, Front loop and Back Loop Stitches)

Intermediate - Projects using a variety of stitches and 

techniques, multiple color changes, And more advanced

 shaping, finishing techniques.

(For Example -cables, tapestry, Tunisian)

Experienced - Projects using intricate stitch patterns,

,

techniques and textures. Multiple color changes,

 fine threads, small hooks, detailed shaping and finishing.

( Intricate lace work, difficult placement of stitches)

This is the standard among most crochet designers,

but there is some " wiggle room"  on the part of 

crochet pattern designers.

Crochet Skill Levels | Posh Pooch Designs

I get lots of questions about 
Crochet Skill Levels on Patterns.

The one question I get the most is 

"This is an Easy pattern, 
but it seems hard for a Beginner crocheter"?

That is because a

 "Beginner Crochet Pattern" and
 a "Easy Crochet Pattern"

are NOT the same thing.

Here is a chart of the 
Basic Skill levels that are used by 
Most Crochet Pattern Writers.

I say most because a few of us 
have a few more "levels"  
that we use occasionally.
Some times we use other terms 
for a better description,
 for example, I also have what I call a
"Easy to Moderate level"
 which I use when I think it is an easy pattern, 
with a different stitch or technique,
 but not hard enough to be 
considered intermediate.

Remember if you do not understand - 
You can always ask the pattern designer!
Their email is always in the pattern.


I hope this helps explain the Crochet Skill levels better.
