1. Open Inspo

1. Open Inspo.
2. On the homepage, choose a category like Crochet, Knitting, Sewing, DIY, or Embroidery if you already roughly know what you're looking for.
3. Scroll through the images if you want to get inspired first.
4. Click Show more to load more images.

After that, you'll see more examples from the selected category or from the general feed.

2. Find ideas that fit

1. Use the categories if you already have a rough direction in mind.
2. Open an image as soon as you like the colors, style, or shape.
3. Compare several images until you find something that fits your project.

Tip: Inspo is especially helpful if you don't know an exact search term yet, but you already have a picture of the result in mind.

3. Take a closer look at images

1. Open an image in the large view.
2. Take your time looking at it to better judge the materials, style, and workmanship.
3. Read the description text, if there is one.
4. Pay attention to the category as well as the author's profile or shop.

This helps you decide faster whether the project shown matches your taste and your planned craft project.

4. Go straight to the pattern or product

1. Under the opened image, look for the linked title.
2. There you can immediately see whether the pattern or product is free or has a price.
3. Click Show pattern to jump straight to the matching detail page.

This saves you an extra search and takes you straight from the image to the detail page.

5. Find similar images

1. Open an Inspo image in the large view.
2. In the bottom right of the image, look for the round icon with the magnifying glass.
3. Tap or click the Find similar images icon.
4. Then compare the suggested images to see more variations.

This is helpful if you like a style but still want to choose between different colors, shapes, or patterns.
