I joined the LoveKnitting club in 2014. I was already a LoveKnitting customer so trusted the team would be reliable and helpful, and they have never let me down. They’re brilliant at promoting and marketing my work through social media, email newsletters and magazines.

How much will it cost to sell my patterns?

It is free to list your patterns on LoveCrafts and there is a low payment transaction charge on every sale. When you meet our minimum threshold of sales, there will be a seller fee per pattern. There is a maximum threshold of sales at which point we will stop charging the seller fee. We aim to support our designer community as much as possible, keeping our fee structures favourable, fair and comparable to the major industry players. More details

How do I add a pattern?

You can either upload a pattern from scratch or import an existing PDF pattern from Ravelry. If importing from Ravelry, additional information, such as sizing and yarns, will need to be added to the listing.

I used to upload to LoveCrochet or LoveKnitting, what do I do now?

As a crochet or knitting designer you can sign into your account through LoveCrafts as we use one designer backend platform all of your previous patterns will appear on LoveCrafts. Where you have set the craft of your pattern to ‘crochet’ or ‘knitting’, patterns will automatically be published to LoveCrafts in the right category.

When and how will I get paid?

The total amount owed to you on the last day of the month will be paid into your account on, or around, the 25th of the following month.
