Can I also write a review if I gave the pattern away as a gift? My impression of the whole thing, etc.
Greetings, Klaus

Hello Klaus,

Thank you very much for your question. A review only makes sense if you have made the item yourself. The pattern should be reviewed, not Crazypatterns.

Best regards
Alexander

Dear Alexander, I can’t review most of the patterns yet because I haven’t made them yet. I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I can only say one thing: I prefer patterns with diagrams.
Best regards

Sylvia Waldhauser

Hello Sylvia,

Patterns that haven’t been made yet can/should remain unrated.

I hope you have a lovely evening.

Best regards
Alexander

Hello,

does the promotion also apply to free patterns offered here? Or do they have to be purchased ones?

Best regards

Hi rhynsdn!
This promotion applies to all patterns, including the free ones.

I haven’t tried most of the patterns yet because they have too many pages and include unnecessary ones

The reason was that I was in the mood for something new—I love doing crafts, and there are always new babies being born among my friends.

I also do a lot of crafts, but I haven’t made everything yet, so I can’t give a review. I’ve already read some of the patterns—some are easy to follow, others are a bit more complicated—but you don’t really realize that until you start working on them.

So, I’ve reviewed everything. I think all the patterns are simply great and, above all, easy to follow and well described. There’s plenty for beginners too... so when I, as an old crochet granny, feel like crocheting something again, or when I share my creations with my crochet group... Crazypatterns is number one for me.

I LOVE CRAZYPATTERNS!
Keep it up, otherwise I’ll have nothing left to do!

Unfortunately, I can’t write a review yet because I haven’t made the patterns yet.
Best regards, Sue

Dear viola666!
We’re all so happy that you feel just as at home here as we do!
Keep having fun recreating the projects!

Oh yes, feeling good is the right expression... thank you so much for your kind reply... I was really happy...

I have a question: I ordered M 23:102017 for a pattern by Aisys Sia and have already paid for it, but I still haven’t received the pattern as of today.
Who can I contact about this?
Thank you and best regards

Hi, I can’t write reviews for them all yet because I haven’t crocheted them all yet. Best regards

Hello,
The patterns are very detailed. I use some of them just for inspiration for other projects.
I’m always curious about new patterns.
Lind

Still no winners? I feel a bit ripped off.....

Hello Viola, 

since thousands of reviews are written during the promotion, it will take a little while until they have all been evaluated. 

I think we’ll have to be patient for a few more days. ;-) 

Best regards 
Michaela 

Okay....

Dear users,

The winners are (10 most helpful reviews): 

1. Schokoholic with the review for the pattern: Baby Turtle Emma

Excerpt from the review: 
... By now I know that I always get great patterns from DioneDesign. I have already crocheted so many different little animals from these patterns, and it was a success every time! Always wonderfully described, step by step with lots of helpful pictures, and happy faces from the recipients ...

2. ChristinaE with the review for the pattern: DragonBEAM BOBBEL - knitted from 1 Woolly Hugs BOBBEL-MERINO or BOBBEL-COTTON

Excerpt from the review: 
... The Drachenstrahl made from Wolly Hug's Cotton drapes very nicely and is definitely enjoyable to knit once you have worked your way through the somewhat confusing pattern. For the sake of clarity, I would have liked: - One line per row - The first 28 rows written out...

3. ingrid-riedl with the review for the pattern: Crochet Pattern Schildi

Excerpt from the review: 
... I am taking this turtle as an opportunity to write about everything I have already crocheted from the patterns on crazypatterns and how I actually got into it. My youngest granddaughter is now 4 years old. When she was 3, she said she wanted to have a crocheted doll like her friend...

4. momoko1309 with the review for the pattern: Beanie CROCHET FUN (for all sizes, incl. size chart)

Excerpt from the review: 
...With this pattern, you get a beautiful hat. The pattern is given for sizes S and M. I crocheted it according to the pattern. However, I crochet very tightly. So either crochet nice and loosely, or simply use a larger hook size...

5. mifas with the review for the pattern: Crochet pattern for shrug / soul warmer in all sizes | Shrug BUBBLE+

Excerpt from the review: 
... Aside from the obligatory single-color simple potholders 100 years ago in school ;-) I had never crocheted anything. After checking on YouTube that the basics were still there, and also very quickly making a few simple wrist warmers...

6. bumblebee1011 with the review for the pattern: Knitting Pattern Shawl Tamoloao Lace and Cable Pattern

Excerpt from the review: 
... I printed everything out and taped the pattern for the middle section together accordingly. Here you notice that, of course, not all empty boxes are knit stitches as described; in the middle they are simply filler boxes for the sake of clarity...

7. Miki74 with the review for the pattern: Crochet Pattern Advent Calendar / Advent Bags

Excerpt from the review: 
... There are already quite a few patterns for Christmas bags here on CP. These immediately caught my eye because of their many pretty motifs. I thought they could make lovely gift packaging for small items at Christmastime. - Thought of it - bought it - made it...

8. PrettyBeauty with the review for the pattern: Knitting Pattern Soul Warmer / Body Scarf

Excerpt from the review: 
... "Actually" I don't really "need" any patterns right now, since I can hardly keep up with making the patterns I have already bought, with all the great and, above all, varied things offered here on CP...

9. maria-keuschnigg with the review for the pattern: Drachenstein Crochet Tunic and Dress 2-in-1 Pattern

Excerpt from the review: 
... I often had a very hard time with the written pattern. Thank goodness there was a crochet chart included - although it also did not always match the written pattern. I tried a lot of things and made the best of what was possible for me. The result was a really great dress for my daughter. My reason for buying it - to make a beach dress for myself...

10. Hakelfreulain with the review for the pattern: Knitting Pattern "Circle Jacket - Easy"

Excerpt from the review: 
... At first I was skeptical about whether the "adjust to a T-shirt" part would work out so that the vest would fit. But it really turned out PERFECT!!! I changed the beginning a little, using a magic ring and 8 stitches, then it wasn't quite so fiddly. And at the end I used the i-cord to bind off - for the first time! and I am totally thrilled...
