How to Name a Pattern

Are you starting to design your own crochet or knitting patterns? I think it’s so fun and I love being able to share my creativity with others! However, if you’re like me - and so many other designers out there - you’re probably having a hard time naming that beautiful pattern of yours. I reached out to some popular knitting and crochet pattern designers to learn their strategies for naming patterns so we don't have to struggle! I’ve combined all their responses into a list, including examples from all the designers. Hopefully, this will give you further direction in naming your pattern and releasing it to everyone to enjoy!
