About

Crochet Pattern Gallery is a collection of free crochet patterns translated from Chinese to English. We find beautiful designs shared by talented crochet artists on Chinese social media and translate the instructions into clear, US-standard crochet notation.

Every pattern includes credit to the original designer. If you're an original creator and would like your pattern removed or credited differently, please reach out.
