Six levels

From your first stitch to expert

Pick your level when you join. The app shows tutorials for your level first and moves you up as you finish them.

  1. Level 1: First stitches

    Never held a hook? Start with a slip knot, chains and your first stitch.

    1 of 6
  2. Level 2: Beginner

    You know the basic stitches. Make flat pieces: dishcloths, scarves, squares.

    2 of 6
  3. Level 3: Improver

    Work in the round, change colours, shape simple hats and amigurumi.

    3 of 6
  4. Level 4: Intermediate

    Textured stitches, motifs and joins, following longer patterns.

    4 of 6
  5. Level 5: Advanced

    Complex textures, garments that fit, charts without written words.

    5 of 6
  6. Level 6: Expert

    Anything goes: dense cables, 3D stitches, your own designs.
