• Do you have a pattern you created but no place to post it? We have space to host your pattern for you. Just Contact Us for more information. We will even code it for you before uploading and add the link into our engine! * For all patterns hosted on Crafters-Index, the author retains all rights and copyright.

This site, started in late 2002 is a resource for all crafters to find that perfect, FREE pattern or other hobby related information without annoying flashing advertisements that won't stop moving or pop-up windows (however we are not able to control such things on links off-site). We hope you enjoy this site and spread the word by emailing others our URL. We are starting out small, but will add new categories as needed in the future. Most patterns are not hosted locally, so if your children are looking for crafts - please surf with them.

Ratings on the patterns, instructions, and products here are given by other folks that have come to this site and tried them out. Crafters-Index accepts no responsibility for reviews and ratings. If you know of a great pattern, clear hobby instructions or wonderful craft-related software on the net, please Add it to the Index and be the first to rate it so others can find it when they come looking. We hope you enjoy! This site will be as good as we make it, and we can make it great!

Thank you, and Welcome!
Crafters Index
