All lessons will be given live via Zoom each week, as well as live Office Hours each week. You will receive an email update every Friday with the next week’s class schedule and upcoming events. The printable materials and video library content will be published in a phased manner, and given on an as-needed basis to give you time to absorb the content and apply it as you learn.

This is not a physical product, but rather an online digital program with options to download and print the items you wish to have a copy of at your own discretion. Since lessons will be delivered live via Zoom, you will need to have either a smartphone or a computer with the most recent version of Zoom downloaded to watch live. All meetings and lessons will be recorded live and uploaded to the course portal for replay within 24 hours.

At this time our course is only available in digital PDF and video format. You can print the entire bundle and have it bound at your local office supply store, or you can print it to keep in a 3-ring binder if you’d like. You could also realistically download the content in your digital files on your computer to access later.

I will be the first to admit that CDA is not right for everyone. The course curriculum was developed based on advanced techniques, and therefore attendees should be advanced crocheters in order to grasp the content. If you are not able to veer from crochet patterns or create crochet pieces without the use of a pattern, then CDA may be too advanced for you.

Attendees need to not only be artistically inclined, but also be able to have a firm grasp of the mathematical concepts required to create a crocheted item from scratch.

Students will also need to be self-motivated and disciplined, as you will be required to actually do the work in order to benefit from the program.

Before enrolling in Crochet Design Academy you should already know how to read and follow a crochet pattern efficiently.

You should be an advanced crocheter who is able to create crochet pieces from scratch without the use of a crochet pattern, or at least be able to veer from a crochet pattern to alter a crochet piece as desired.

You must also be artistically inclined, as that is not something that can be taught.

Classes will begin starting the week of Oct. 1, 2022. You will have access to the bonus branding module to begin working on and an orientation video to watch the week before classes begin. All communication will be through the email provided at checkout, so be sure to whitelist our email address in your inbox and be on the lookout for information as it comes.

CDA focuses on taking out the guesswork involved in becoming a crochet designer. The curriculum is designed to walk you step-by-step through the exact steps you need to take in order to build a strong design foundation, develop and fine-tune your own design strategy and style, learn how to glean design inspiration and turn it into a crochet piece, learn how to translate that design into a well-written and standardized pattern, learn how to call for and communicate with testers, learn how to take excellent listing photos, how to publish your pattern to Etsy and Ravelry, how to develop a marketing strategy to get your pattern in front of more buyers, how to create stellar YouTube content without fancy equipment, how to properly submit your designs to crochet magazines, and much, MUCH more!

You will leave CDA confident, inspired, and fully prepared to not only design and publish a crochet pattern, but equipped with all the tools you need to successfully market and sell your crochet pattern.
