Make A Tutorial Request
We get requests across the social media platforms, including in email format. However, this page will act as a central hub for making a formal request. With being in business for over 12 years, I've come to understand what types of projects work best and what projects should be skipped.
Permissions to Film
We have the blanket permission to film any patterns inside Yarnspirations.com. However, we have a boundary set that we do not film another current Yarnspirations Teacher's patterns as they have the capability of filming up their own patterns. You can reach out to them to request they film up their patterns directly. Most of them have websites with a contact email or you can find them in social media. We can also film any pattern where Jeanne and I are the designers as well.
Legality
We do not film just anything. We do not film any designers' patterns where its a paid pattern or not listed in the Yarnspirations free pattern library. This also includes asking for us to film a section of a pattern that doesn't belong to Yarnspirations or our own designs. That's a copyright infringement.
Be Specific with Request
Designing one of the Study of Texture Blankets takes about 170 hours and that's not including filming. So requesting us to make a double size blanket with a certain stitch requests research and development which can absorb a lot of time. The goal of the requests is to find something that is already existing in pattern format for me to study, grab a camera and get to work.
When Requesting a Video Below
- Provide me with a link either from The Crochet Crowd Website or Yarnspirations Website where the pattern is. This will speed me through to find the resources to study your request. Any patterns outside of these two website properties are legally out of bounds for me to film. I won't take a risk on filming copyright materials.
- Provide me with a reason why you want it filmed up. Is there something about the pattern that is hard for you? If you cannot read a pattern, you can state that but I am looking for tidbits of knowing where to focus. If there is a backstory, I'd love to know that too.
- Be thoughtful in your request that is truly something you want to be filmed for you. Don't just randomly pick things that you think others would enjoy. We want to know your wishes.

Hi Mikey ,
You are such an inspiration, you keep me going in my crochet life and love you guys so much ( Dan too ) . And the whole team you are working with . My request is that my family is from Ireland . My husband and my 3 boys were all born in Ireland and I would love if you could create a blanket with an Aran flair to it . Love it to be just theses cream colors that you see in the confi pull over that you get in Ireland . I would love to have a throw like that on my sofa where we could all cuddle up in the winter . With all the Aran twist . I love it but I only though we could do that in knitting. Would love to see it done in crochet . Hope you can help me with it . We leave in the USA for the last 6 years and I still want my kids to not lose their backgrounds heritage . We Love you . Stay safe . And cannot wait to see all your future creations.

Morning Marie, can you give me the link for that pattern on Yarnspirations.com? I need a pattern in order to film it.

I would love to see a tutorial of Jeanne’s All in the Family throw. I’m not the greatest at reading patterns but can muddle my way through with a tutorial. It’s a beautiful throw and I would love to make it !!
Thank you Michael and Team for all you do !!
