SURE .. you could ...
Grab your hook and just start crocheting ...
But are you willing to spend time and effort on a project that you might not even be able to finish due to yarn/stitch/gauge/drape/construction issues, let alone be the right size so you can wear it?
Or you could re-crochet your design in multiple sizes to see if your grading works ...
Do you have hundreds of free hours to crochet and the budget to purchase yarn for 10+ different sizes?
Follow other designers crochet patterns ...
Crocheting more patterns won’t make you a confident and capable designer - it’s actually doing the opposite! It makes you reliant on others' patterns and more hesitant to try to design for yourself.

Who is Modern Crochet Design FOR? 💖
✓ You want to design your own crochet patterns!
If you’re committed to learning about crochet design, working to improve your skills and put yourself in the best position to succeed at designing, then you’ll get heaps of value from the course!
✓ You dream of earning money with crochet design
This course is focused solely on learning how to design modern crochet patterns. However, designing is the skill that your earning potential depends on. If your designs aren’t appealing and wearable, no matter what monetisation strategies you use, you’ll struggle to earn an income from crochet. That’s why the design fundamentals are so important!
Who's this course NOT for?
✗ Not willing to put in the time and work to crochet your own designs.
Crochet designing isn’t a perfectly smooth sailing process. You’ll make mistakes, have to frog your patterns or abandon some of them altogether. The course sets you up for a successful design, but you still need to crochet the pattern yourself to create a sample. Crochet is a physical craft! You need to put in the work to solve any issues with your patterns that might pop up.
✗ You’re looking for a magic bullet that will instantly create a pattern without any effort.
This course is designed to teach you the skills to learn how to design a pattern by yourself. It’s not a magic software that will create a pattern for you.
Modern Crochet Design combines video lessons, workbooks, cheat sheets and templates, to create the ultimate crochet design creation system.
FAQs

I started designing just 2 months after picking up a crochet hook, so even if you’re a beginner you can definitely design your own patterns. 😊 In the course, you’ll learn how to start off with simple designs that suit your skill set.
