OK,
so all of us hookers have finally been blessed with crochet coming back in
style. We see it in accessories, photo
props, cozy covers, and tiny stuffed animals.
SO we now pattern demand is up, but how do you make YOUR pattern stand
out? It is all about texture and
DETAILS. The general rule of product
supply is you either have to be the first, be the fastest, or be the best. Obviously, it is fairly hard in the year 2013
to be the FIRST to crochet anything. And
fastest works for the supply portion, but won't help us sell patterns....I
guess we have to be the BEST.
To
be the BEST, we have to get the details right, this is where having a barrage
of special stitches to choose from will set you pattern that tiny step ahead of
similar patterns available.
Changing colors - Often when creating a pattern, I remind myself not everything has to be an appliqué. There are times you can use "Tapestry" crochet or working over the color, to crochet one piece with various designs.
