Since I’m new to Crazypatterns, I have no idea what I’m supposed to review. Above all, I can only review patterns that I’ve actually made myself. Since that isn’t the case, I’m very sorry that I can’t review them, even after you’ve asked me so kindly to do so. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to try out the patterns. Still, I’m always happy to receive emails from you. Thank you very much. Best regards, G.B.

Since October 2014, I’ve made crocheting my hobby again. I have to say, it’s a lot of fun and brings me great joy when I finish a figure. The patterns I’ve bought so far are very well written and a joy to work from. Kudos and thanks to everyone. 

I wanted to knit a scarf for my grandchild and immediately looked for a pattern on your site—and found one. The pattern was easy to follow, and I was able to finish knitting it without any problems. I’m always delighted by the many unique ideas, and there’s something for every taste. Best regards.

I make a lot of the projects featured here. I’m always finding new patterns and reasons to let my creativity run wild with sewing, crocheting, and knitting. I often forget to write reviews… but I made up for it today…
Thanks to everyone who posts patterns here. 

I make many of the patterns I see here,
and since I give away all my
crochet projects, I’m
so happy about the free patterns—
THANK YOU to ALL the designers—you’re
AMAZING!!!! <3

Since I’m currently working on a scrap blanket, I’m really glad there are so many Granite Square patterns here. When I’m not working on the blanket, I knit socks or crochet other little things since I don’t really have time for larger projects. In any case, everything here is explained really well, so you can understand it right away

"after" and "great" are how it should read — please forgive my spelling mistakes!!!

Everything is perfect - I’ve already knitted three pairs of boots. The grandchild can come now.

The patterns are always very well described and easy to crochet. I’m always happy whenever I discover something new.

The patterns are always well-written. You can always follow them step by step. And they’re always lovely things to crochet!
Thank you so much for the great patterns. Best regards

So many lovely patterns that are easy to make!

Great patterns—I don’t even know where to start.
I was especially taken with the crochet ideas for surprise eggs leading up to Easter.

I always find your patterns to be very well done and enjoy “working” from them. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time this winter—except for Christmas—when I crocheted a few really beautiful things.
I’ve printed out or saved the designs that interest me and will definitely spend some lovely evenings on the balcony this summer crocheting and knitting.

Hi
Unfortunately, I can’t leave a review because I haven’t used a single pattern yet.
I was looking for some nice things to give as gifts.
I’ll definitely do that, but I can’t say when.
Best regards

I haven’t crocheted everything yet, but what I’ve made so far turned out really well—
thank you so much for the detailed patterns

My review is positive in every way. I’ve already made quite a few projects; I grew up doing crafts and I’m totally hooked. You can also give things to other people as gifts, and the joy comes right back to you.

I would gladly write a review/reviews, but unfortunately I would like to pay for the purchasable patterns by bank transfer. However, that doesn't seem possible to me. So I will also write a review.

I can’t download the patterns. I only managed it once with a bunny, which I made right away in different sizes, and they turned out really cute.

Dear buyers,
 
the APRIL promotion has now ended, and as always we are thrilled with the result :- )
 
During the promotion period (April 5 to 30, 2016), around 13,000 reviews were written. 
Thank you very much for participating!
 
The winners are: 


1. Boddymass with the review for the pattern: Pretty Bellinda

Excerpt from the review: Wow, what an amazing knitting project!!! A wonderful and extravagant result that people have already asked me about several times...

2. Chrissiecanisha with the review for the pattern: Cute Puppy Hafi

Excerpt from the review: The pattern is highly recommended, and the crocheted dog turned out totally cute. I crocheted it with relatively thick yarn (MyBoshi No1 and crochet hook No5), so it turned out correspondingly large. A real eye-catcher on our sofa! 

3. Peterle with the review for the pattern: Rustico Basket - Crochet Pattern

Excerpt from the review: ....and enjoy it! That's what it says at the end of the pattern. My mother certainly will, I thought when I saw the basket, when she gets it beautifully filled with healthy and blooming things for Mother's Day!

4. Peterle with the review for the pattern: PDF Sewing Pattern Ballerina Slippers Shoes

Excerpt from the review: Great, I've been wanting to sew slippers for a long time. So far I've only crocheted and knitted various models. I liked these right away, because they have a very nice shape...

5. KiLaCo with the review for the pattern: Hut Slippers - Slippers "MeiSchu" Sizes 36-47

Excerpt from the review: Suitable for me as an absolute beginner. I had a little trouble understanding the pattern in places (since I had never crocheted before). After putting it aside briefly and reading it through carefully again, I finally understood it.

6. wonnebie with the review for the pattern: Sewing Pattern Dream Balls Patchwork Decorative Ball Pillow

Excerpt from the review: I made the medium ball for my little granddaughter and also sewed on little bells, snap fasteners, and more...

7. SabineSauer with the review for the pattern: Amigurumi Frog Bookmark Crochet Pattern

Excerpt from the review: Rarely have I seen such a detailed and easy-to-understand pattern. It includes lots of pictures, so you can't really go wrong...

8. Miki74 with the review for the pattern: "Adelle" Summer Crochet Shawl / Stole

Excerpt from the review: A woman can never really have enough scarves or shawls, and the many great photos on the product page tempted me :-) to buy this pattern...

9. Schokoholic with the review for the pattern: Crochet Pattern, Baby Sneakers

Excerpt from the review: I wanted to crochet baby shoes for a friend for the birth of her baby and first had a pattern that simply wasn't good...

10. Arni with the review for the pattern: Crochet Pattern Mini Dress/Tunic S-XL

Excerpt from the review: Schlagermove is in Hamburg in mid-July, and I needed a dress. Then I discovered this pattern, bought myself very colorful gradient yarn, and got started...

11. Cenerentola with the review for the pattern: Owl / Book / School
 
Excerpt from the review: My niece is turning 6 and will start school in the fall. So I looked for something that would suit both her birthday and the upcoming start of school somehow—and what could be better than a little, self-crocheted owl that she can then use as a mascot during exams? ...

12. OmiBarbara with the review for the pattern: Pansy Crochet Pattern | Free

Excerpt from the review: You don't have to be a crochet pro to get along well with this pattern. Quickly and easily, I crocheted tons of blossoms and also "worked through" my big pile of leftover yarn.

13. tamara-williamson with the review for the pattern: Amigurumi Unicorn Free Horse

Excerpt from the review: I crocheted the unicorn from your pattern without any problems, and it turned out so cute. The only thing I left out was the ruff, because I thought it looked even nicer without it...

14. Knickknackcoellede with the review for the pattern: Newsboy Hat and Poncho, from Baby to Adult

Excerpt from the review: Once again, a super pattern. Detailed and with lots of pictures.  Thank you so much for your great patterns, always happy to buy again! Highly recommended. As a pattern-buying pro, I know what I'm talking about. Because there are worlds of difference...

15. Thymiane with the review for the pattern: Chocolate Bouquet

Excerpt from the review: The pattern is described really well. I made the bouquet with regular crepe paper because I couldn't get florist crepe and wanted to try it out first. It worked, but it would be better to use the recommended material because regular craft crepe paper tears very quickly...

16. emilie63 with the review for the pattern: Crochet Pattern Babsi the Mouse with Her Cheese Pencil Cup

Excerpt from the review: The pattern is described extremely well; I had so much fun making everything. Both my grandchildren and desk jockeys can enjoy it as a gift...

17. Schnecke791 with the review for the pattern: Free Crochet Pattern from Diana’s kleiner Häkelshop

Excerpt from the review: The pattern is written very simply and well illustrated, so it's also perfectly suitable for beginners. I chose this truly great free pattern...

18. Lavendelschnitt with the review for the pattern: Top with Fine Cable Pattern, Sizes 36 - 42

Excerpt from the review: I've really been doing handcrafts for a long time, but this "little cable" idea was new to me too, as was the zigzag technique for crocheting pieces together. Very nice. I also immediately liked the idea of crocheting the front and back pieces in different colors...

19. Peterle with the review for the pattern: Wallet "SchTaKa" / Purse

Excerpt from the review: Since my wallet already has a few scuffs and this one appealed to me just because of all the card slots, I bought the pattern and sewed it relatively quickly. The pattern is very clearly illustrated and described, so I had no trouble sewing it...

20. geyfa with the review for the pattern: Knitting Pattern for a Chunky Woven Scarf

Excerpt from the review: I immediately fell in love with this knitted piece and put it on my "must have" list. On impulse, I then knitted the scarf fairly quickly because I needed an idea for a particular yarn.

Congratulations and thank you very much for taking part!

Thank you so much, I’m really excited. :-) And there are so many great projects waiting here that I’ll probably blow through the €10 pretty quickly!
Thanks

Oh, WOW! I won! Hooray!!! I’ve never won anything before! I’m so excited about the €10 and can’t wait to “splurge” on it!

Thank you so much for the great prize—I’m going to go browse around now!

Best regards—OmiBarbara

Congratulations to all the winners!

I’d also like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the winners.
I’m also a little proud, since two winners wrote reviews of my patterns.
I was very happy about those reviews too.

Best regards, Petra 

Congratulations, and keep having fun!

Congratulations to the winners

Hello, everyone!
I keep getting notifications about replies to my posts, but I can’t find them anywhere.

Hello Thehifee, welcome to our forum and to the platform. You’ve written two posts in this thread; all the other posts written here are, so to speak, replies to your post, simply because they were also written in this thread and were posted after your posts.
These posts don’t necessarily have to be directly related to your posts. The system just notifies you about new posts in this thread.
OK?

The patterns are easy to follow, and it’s fun to make them. There’s always something to choose from. Unfortunately, people who are working often don’t have much time for this.
