Yes. Billing starts after the trial: $18/month or $89/year.
Cancel before day 30 and you won't be charged. Your patterns remain yours.
You write every stitch. CrochetStudio uses code and math to count stitches, work out repeats and grade sizes — not AI to write your pattern. Your designs stay yours and are never used to train AI models.
the whole journey, one app
Tap stitch buttons, add your own abbreviations, and watch rows renumber and counts appear as you go. No calculator, no re-counting.
Send an invite link. Testers check off rows, report issues and upload photos — you see their progress and fix things in one place.
One tap turns the tested pattern into a styled, branded PDF with your name, copyright and shop links on every page.
the part nobody else gives you
Great patterns are tested patterns. Instead of juggling Instagram DMs and email threads, run the whole test inside CrochetStudio.

A step-by-step course built right into CrochetStudio. Learn how professional patterns are structured, then write yours in the editor next door — the counting is already done for you.
everything in one quiet screen
sc, hdc, dc, inc, dec, ×, *, “in next” — tap the pad and they drop into your line. Add your own buttons too.
Numbers stay right even when you insert a line. Repeat a row and it becomes “Rows 2-5” — the next is Row 6.
Every line ends with its stitch count, repeats like “(sc 2, inc) × 6” included. Type over it whenever you like.
Skill level, yarn, weight, hook, gauge, finished size and notions — quick pick lists make it painless.
Attach a photo with a caption to any tricky row, so your testers can see exactly what you mean.
Six colour themes, four layouts, three fonts, A4 or Letter — plus an automatic abbreviations list.
Your name, copyright and Instagram, Etsy, Ravelry and website links on every page of your PDF.
