Names, letters and words
Personalised pieces are the most-made patterns of all: a baby's name on a sampler, initials on a bracelet, a word in fuse beads for a bedroom door. The text tools set names in six pixel fonts with borders, sized to your bracelet's string count or your hoop.

Quick answers
Is CraftPatterns really free?

Is my photo uploaded?
No. Photos are turned into patterns by your own browser and never leave your device. Saved projects live in your browser too.
Which thread and bead brands can I use?
DMC and Anchor threads; Perler®-, Hama®-, Artkal®-, Nabbi®- and MARD-compatible beads; and 48 named generic yarn shades for crochet and knitting. Thread and bead keys also show the nearest colour in a second brand.
Can I stitch from my phone or tablet?
Yes. Open any pattern in the stitch tracker to mark stitches as you go. It saves automatically and works offline after your first visit.
