Knitting ebooks and crochet ebooks offer a quick way to download a full collection of patterns at once instead of buying single designs. They're a good fit for crafters who like to browse a themed set of projects from a favorite designer or yarn brand.
What to Look For
Check whether the ebook includes multiple sizes, several project types, or a single cohesive collection, such as the Berroco Norah Gaughan Collection Vol. 10 or the Debbie Bliss Blue Skies Collection. Some ebooks focus on one yarn line, like the Paintbox Yarns Midsummer Crochet Collection, which makes it easy to shop for matching yarn afterward.
Pairing Patterns With Yarn
Once you've chosen an ebook, browse All Yarn to find a suitable weight and fiber for the designs inside. If you'd rather sample a free pattern before committing to a full collection, Free Knitting Patterns and Free Crochet Patterns are good starting points, with crochet hooks and knitting needles on hand for getting started right away.
