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.

I would love a tutorial on how to crochet one of those knight helmet hats with the movable visor. My son would love one, but I struggle with patterns.
Mikey says
Can you give a link for that on Yarnspirations. I cannot seem to find it.
Michelle Caringella says
I don't have a link.
A friend's son had one his grandma made. But, she has passed. I've seen pictures for some and seen a pattern once, but struggle with reading patterns and with hats.
Sigh. I've been trying to figure out how to do it.
I remember the "visor" was movable. It was attached to the helmet/hat with a large button on each side.
Marina King says
something like the knight ones? that kind of idea?
Andrea MacDonald says
I loved learning the new technique of mosaic crochet. It was challenging and fun to do something different and unique. I love tunisian crochet and would love to learn how to cross stitch on top of the tunisian. I thi k this technique would be easier to learn on video rather than written instructions.
Tracey says
Hi Mikey!!! I have learned and created so much with your tutorials! Thank you for all the time and hard work you do for all of us! I know this is a beginner pattern, but I would love to learn to make a rectangle basket. Remodeled the bathroom and the round ones do not fit on the vanity as nice.
Thank you!

Hi Mickey, I would love to see video tutorial on snowflake ornaments; https://www.yarnspirations.com/red-heart-snowflake-ornaments/RHC0518-024802M.html. I learned to crochet 5 years ago from your tutorials and have never looked back but I really need help with fine yarns and crochet threads. Thanks for all you do!
