Knitting, Loom Knitting, and Crochet Patterns for blind & print challenged crafters(self.Blind)
submitted by HandknitsAndHygge
Due to recent accessibility issues on Ravelry, a partner and I have built an $1 for blind and print challenged crafters to find patterns formatted for large print and/or screen readers. It’s free to use. Tell your friends!

This is so great! I am new to the blind community and am a long time crafter. I am still partially sighted and am able to still do my favorite paper crafts. I have a Youtube channel (Frapps and Scraps) where I have recently disclosed my visual difficulties while crafting. I’m so glad to know I am not alone in my crafty ventures as I learn to navigate my blindness ❤️
Oh if you all ever have a plan to add weaving drafts that would be amazing!

Thanks for the suggestion! We’re definitely open to adding more crafts. If you happen to know where to find these, let me know!

Oh that’s so exciting! When I was in college we used to use handweaving.net
It was super great but I think there is a fee to use it for the year now that there used to not be. I actually don’t use it now because it’s so hard to read and sift through all the setting options and then reading the pattern is just not easy.
