Are you a crochet or knitting pattern designer who is striving to provide the best version of your pattern?
Hi there, I’m Marjan! I help beginner and experienced designers to create the best version of their crochet or knitting pattern.
I have been designing crochet and knitting patterns for major Dutch and international publications, websites and magazines. From my experience as a designer, I learned it’s important that a pattern includes all the essential information, is easy to understand and above all fun to make!
Whether you are a beginner writing your very first pattern or an experienced designer looking for a professional final check, I am here to help. I ensure your instructions are clear, complete and fun to make.

As a tech editor I will review your English or Dutch crochet or knitting pattern. While reviewing your pattern, I will check the written text, math, consistency, measurements/sizing, etc. If applicable, I will check if the charts match the written instructions. After I have reviewed the pattern, I will send you my feedback and suggestions.
Create crochet or knitting charts to accompany (parts of) your patterns. Create a schematic to show the measurements of the finished item or garment. Below you can see a few examples of these charts. Have any questions about a specific pattern and the possibilites? Send me a message via the contact form below.
Translate your crochet or knitting patterns from English (US or UK crochet terminology) to Dutch, or vice versa.
Develop a style sheet that you can use again and again to create a consistent style across all your patterns.
You can contact me via the contact form below or send me an email at info@hobbydingen.com. Currently I charge €25,- per hour for technical editing, chart and schematic creation. Feel free to send your pattern over via email to receive an estimate.
