Etsy title & tag checker for crochet & knitting patterns
Pattern buyers are precise: they search the craft, the item, and often the skill level or yarn weight — “easy crochet blanket pattern”, “knit beanie pattern worsted”. The word “pattern” and “PDF” are non-negotiable, and “crochet” vs “knit” must be unmistakable. Run your listing through the audit for the specific fixes.

Titles
What a crochet & knitting patterns title needs
- 01Say “crochet” or “knit” explicitly — never assume the image conveys it.
- 02Include “pattern” and “PDF” — buyers search both, and it sets expectations.
- 03Name the item: blanket, beanie, cardigan, amigurumi, market bag.
- 04Add skill level when it's a draw: easy, beginner, quick.
- 05Mention yarn weight or hook/needle size if it's a common search (worsted, chunky).

Most flagged
What we mark most in crochet & knitting patterns listings
- Leaving “pattern” or “PDF” out, so buyers think it's a finished item.
- Ambiguity between crochet and knit — they are different searches and different buyers.
- No skill level, which is a top filter for the large beginner audience.
