Classification of difficulties
At easy as knit, you’ll find both knitting and crochet patterns across different difficulty levels. What all patterns have in common is that they are thoroughly written and designed with a strong focus on learning and accessibility. You’ll be guided through the process with explanations of the techniques and terms used, helping both beginners and experienced knitters and crocheters feel confident throughout their projects.
All patterns include video tutorials for the techniques used in the project. In addition, many patterns feature project-specific video guides, and most patterns offer step-by-step video tutorials that take you through the entire project from start to finish.
If you are completely new to knitting or crochet, we recommend starting with a Level 1 pattern. If you already have some experience and would like to challenge yourself or learn new techniques, you can choose a pattern with a higher difficulty level.
1 – ultra easy
ultra easy is for those who want to learn to knit or crochet, or who are looking for a very simple project. The patterns are highly detailed, do not include advanced techniques, and require no prior experience.
No abbreviations are used in the patterns, and all techniques and terms are explained as you go. This category is designed to give you a comfortable and approachable start to your knitting or crochet journey.
2 – easy
easy is for those who are ready for a bit more of a challenge while still wanting a beginner-friendly pattern. Many makers will be able to choose an easy project as their very first project if they are willing to spend a little extra time along the way.
The patterns are still thoroughly explained and include guidance on all techniques and terminology used. No abbreviations are used, and the projects are structured to help you develop your skills at a manageable pace.
3 – almost easy
almost easy is for the advanced beginner knitter or crocheter who is ready to learn new techniques and work on slightly more complex projects.
The patterns still guide you carefully through the entire process, but you should be prepared to challenge yourself and develop your skills along the way. This category is ideal for those who have mastered the basic techniques and are ready to take the next step in their knitting or crochet journey.
