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! Thanks for your wonderful crochet videos. They have helped me a lot in my crocheting. I would love to see tutorials on the following cardigans from Yarnspirations. https://www.yarnspirations.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-master-catalog-spinrite/default/dwb591caf6/PDF/CAC01 29-010012M.pdf

This would be a wonderful cardigan to wear. Cotton cakes are readily available in solids & stripe. If someone asked me where did you get this Cardi? I can say that Mikey from Crochet Crowd taught me to make this on his You Tube Channel. Thanks again for your fab videos.

I'm sorry. I only do crochet tutorials. The pattern you are suggesting is not part of our own designs or Yarnspirations free pattern library.

Hello! I have a couple of ideas that would be helpful. Thank you for asking! I hope honk many of us would like to learn how to crochet figures.
1.) A tutorial about sewing appendages onto crocheted animals.
2.) A crocheted doll from start to finish.
3.) How to crochet a circle or sphere of any size.
Thank you!
LeeAnn??
Mikey says
noted... great ideas. I have covered projects of sewing in the Llama, Giraffe, Raccoon, Mike the Monster. Are you looking for something specific?
The doll, which doll? Do you have a link from yarnspirations.com of the doll you are thinking of?
Sphere... Okay... doable. What would a person use that for?
LeeAnn C. Wells says
Here is one link of a doll that I like:

LeeAnn says
Hi! Here is a Yarnspirations link for a doll.
https://www.yarnspirations.com/red-heart-lovely-lucy-doll/RHC0334-022187M.html
People would use the skills of making any size circle for garments, afghans and holiday decorations.
For the sphere, this could be useful for designing figures and/or decorations of any size.
Thank you!
LeeAnn
