View from the Back/Back View

Hello! Thank you very much for so many beautiful crochet patterns! But one thing surprises me: why is it rare/never possible to see the model from the back/the back view?

Hi Jutta,
thanks for your compliment.
What exactly do you mean by the back view? On a sweater, an amigurumi, or a shawl/scarf?

Best regards, Michaela 

Hi Michaela,
I’m referring, of course, to blouses, sweaters, dresses, etc.
Best regards

Hi Jutta,

Hmm, unfortunately I can’t answer that for you in this case either. 

Maybe one of the sweater designers will still speak up here.

Best wishes

Hi JuttaCornelia,

I usually only take photos from the front—not because I don’t want to show the back, but because there usually isn’t any significant difference from the back.

For pieces that look clearly different from the back than from the front, you’ll also find photos from the back from me. In those cases, I’m also happy to make use of the option to provide the buyer with lots of pictures.

Examples include the “Jacke im Kreis” and the wrap “Zweimal im Kreis”.

Welcome to our forum and portal. You can always contact the authors of the patterns that catch your eye via the comment section or a private message (PM) and ask if there are any additional photos.
If you let me know which patterns you’re referring to, I can do that for you as well.

Dear Jutta,

every author handles this differently.

But I know what you mean, and I actually always try to show the back as well!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Best regards,

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I see that for the “Strickjakke im Kreis” pattern, you do have a photo of the back. But here, for example, I’d really love to see a woman wearing the garment to see how it fits. I would never buy a pattern where I can’t see this. Best regards, JuttaCornelia

I totally get it! I’m in the process of making that change myself, so stay tuned—some of the photos will be updated in the coming weeks!

Best wishes, Kathrin

You can often see additional photos of a specific part among the extra images below the main image. That’s actually how I always show it too (either in the main image or below it). Kind regards, Michi!
