FAQ
Can I sell finished projects using Sixel Design patterns?
​
YES! I encourage everyone who wants to sell finished projects to do so. I only ask that you credit "Sixel Design" as the original pattern designer when selling online. This will help potential customers to find your products, because when they search for Sixel Design, they're more likely to find your shop. I have a lot of requests for finished crochet pieces, so if you're a crocheter I'd love to support you and send customers your way!​​

​
Do you make custom patterns? Can I pay you to design one?
​
I do not make custom patterns, nor do I work on commission. If you have a pattern idea and would like to make a request, I am open to suggestions, but I can not guarantee I will be able to design it. I also won't design anything that's a trademarked character/symbol/logo.
​
​
What program do you use to create your patterns? Can you teach me how to design my own?
​
I don't use a program to design patterns. I swatch all of my designs and experiment with stitches until I'm happy with a design. There is no secret formula. Each design takes a lot of practice and patience and it's an art form that really can't be taught. If you want to be a designer my best advice would be to just practice, experiment, and have fun with it!​
