Most patterns finish with: “Carefully block your project”.

Have you ever wondered what that last sentence means? Or have you been like me for years and just ignored it and enjoyed your project as soon as the last end is woven in (or even before that)?

Although being a simple process, blocking is often overlooked by new crocheters. Trust me, I get it, I’ve skipped over it for years until I finally took the time to do it and see the difference for myself. It doesn’t require a lot of materials or time but can make a huge difference in how polished and professional your handmade items look.

In this ebook, I’m going to answer all your questions about blocking.

Hi, I’m Hortense!

A passionate knitting and crochet addict. Recently I decided to share my passion for yarn with the world and created my blog Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting and crochet patterns and help you learn how to use them.

I want to help YOU:

  • take your projects to the next level
  • show you how easy difficult looking projects can be
  • make sure you can adapt and adjust my patterns the way you want so you can create your own yarn paradise.

All my patterns are a beginner to easy level, in English and using standard knitting and crochet terms BUT with tons of step by step pictures and more detailed explanations to make sure they are extra easy to follow even if you’re not a knit/crochet expert.

You can find an ad-supported free version of my patterns here on the blog. I also offer an ad-free PDF version for a small fee.

You may not share, sell or claim my patterns as your own. Please do not reprint, publish or post my material. You can make finished items to sell (i.e. on Etsy, at craft fairs) from my patterns but I ask that you link back to my blog knittingwithchopsticks.com and provide credit for the pattern. Please don’t use my photography if you use my patterns to make and sell finished product. You may have a description of my post and one picture while linking back to my site. Thank you!
