Crocheting has become one of my favorite hobbies. I spend a lot of time designing for screens, so I truly value having a physical medium like crochet to unwind and express my creativity. While expanding my crochet skills, I noticed frustrations in collecting patterns for projects. Currently, there isn't a single online marketplace dedicated solely to crochet. Among various platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy, Ravelry, and Ribblr), it became increasingly challenging for me to keep track of crochet-specific patterns. I knew other crocheters must face similar difficulties. Thus, my senior project, Yarn Over, aims to provide the ultimate crochet solution: authentic patterns in one consolidated place—just one platform dedicated to crochet.
