Toy Pattern Builder

Сrochet Pieces Library

Professionally designed toy crochet pieces serve as objects that users can mix on canvas. Different-sized amigurumi heads, ears, bodies, arms, wings, legs, and tails are made to be proportional and easy to make.

Toy Constructor

After the user chooses a crochet piece and drops it on the canvas, the app combines it with other elements into the multilayer image. Patterns are broken down into individual pieces, from ears to paws. Users can mix-and-match amigurumi pieces to create a toy, choosing types and changing colors.

Crochet Instruction Generator

PDF instruction is automatically created after saving the toy design. Users can get for free such crochet how-to to turn their pattern into a toy. A premium version with illustrated additions is available.

Save Point

Users can return anytime to the crochet pattern generator to adjust the layout, update the crochet pieces, or change the colors. The saved design is accessible by the link and can be shared.

Admin Dashboard

Asset library / Responsive design/ SVG implementations
Users can enter the admin dashboard and perform the following actions:

• publish/unpublish assets
