stitch by stitch
Crochet patterns that count their own stitches.
Every kobyko pattern is checked by an arithmetic engine before it reaches you — stitch counts, increases, and finished dimensions all have to agree with each other. If they don't, the pattern doesn't ship.
The math is checked, not trusted
Stitches consumed vs. produced, round-by-round totals, gauge against the stated finished size. A pattern that contradicts itself is rejected, not published.
The numbers are on the page
Every pattern shows its stitch count table and what was verified. Where something hasn't been swatched yet, it says "not yet swatched" instead of printing a guess.
Yarn you can actually buy
Materials are listed by spec — meters per gram, weight class, hook size — so you can substitute with confidence, not by brand name alone.
