Finding the right Artyarns pattern starts with matching the design to the yarn you already love, or choosing a yarn based on a pattern that caught your eye. Artyarns patterns are built around the brand's own yarn bases, so the fit between fiber and stitch pattern is usually intentional and well tested.
Matching a Pattern to Your Yarn
Each pattern typically lists a recommended Artyarns base, so check that detail before you begin. If you already own a skein or two, look for a pattern written for a similar weight so your gauge and drape come out as designed.
Knit or Crochet?
Tools to Have on Hand
Keep a set of well-sized knitting needles or crochet hooks nearby, since swatching with the actual yarn and needle size called for in the pattern will save you from fit surprises later.
