Your projects, yarn and hooks finally live in one small, pretty book.

How the A5 crochet planner helps you stitch with less guesswork

Each new piece gets a planning spread covering the pattern, the yarn and its dye lot, your hook or needle size, a gauge swatch box, supplies and cost. Next to it sit a row counter of 100 numbered circles and a notes page for increases, color changes and the spot where you put it down. A square grid with its own key makes planning colorwork, motifs and lace easier.

Yarn stash cards, a yarn inventory and size charts for hooks and needles tell you what is already in the basket before you buy more, and a yarn weight table plus US and UK crochet terms stay within reach. Nothing is dated, so you can print a fresh spread and row counter for each scarf, blanket or sweater and keep the whole collection in your binder.

Who these crochet and knitting inserts are for

• Crocheters and knitters using an A5 6-ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner who want every project note in one compact book
• Makers who keep losing their place in a pattern and want a row counter and notes beside each project
• Anyone whose yarn stash and hook and needle collection keeps growing, along with the duplicates
• New crocheters learning stitches and seasoned makers who like a record of each finished piece and gift

Design and printing

• Minimal, elegant pages: white with soft blush pink details that are light on ink
• Generous margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Two portrait insert sizes, A5 at 148 by 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 by 8.5 inches, plus sheets for A4 or US Letter paper that you print and cut
• Undated, so you can begin whenever you like and print another project spread and row counter for each make
• Mirrored margins with 14 mm on the binding side (left on odd pages, right on even pages) and 8 mm on the outer edge
• Writing lines spaced at least 6.5 mm apart and 8 pt table text, easy to fill in on a small page
• A dashed center line and cut ticks on each print-and-cut sheet mean one cut gives two pages
• Print at 100% in portrait. With only A4 or Letter paper, print the print-and-cut file at 100% in landscape and cut once along the dashed line. For spreads, print the A5 or Half Letter file on both sides, flipping on the long edge
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it

Good to know

• These PDFs are designed for printing and are not a hyperlinked digital planner. Most note taking apps will still import them so you can handwrite on the pages.
• This is a digital download, so nothing physical is sent.
• On paper, colors can look a little different from your screen.
• For personal use only. Sharing, reselling or redistributing the files is not allowed.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file will not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Rings sit at different spacings depending on the brand, so no holes are marked. Punch along the roomy inside edge using an A5 six-hole, junior or disc punch you own.
• There are no crochet or knitting patterns included. The planner is a space to plan and record your own projects.
• Hook, needle and yarn weight sizes are typical ranges only. Your pattern and your own gauge swatch always come first.
