Why I Created a Crochet Planner to Stay Organized (and Actually Finish Projects)
If you’re anything like me, your crochet life includes a little bit of magic... and a whole lot of loose ends.
At any given time, I’ve got yarn skeins tucked in baskets, a project or two (or five) half-finished, and scribbled notes in random notebooks, trying to remember which hook I used, how many skeins I bought, or what the pattern even was. It’s part of the process, but honestly, it can get frustrating.
So I finally sat down and created the tool I needed: a printable Crochet Project Planner.
It’s simple, clean, and meant to be used — not just admired. And it’s now available in my Etsy shop in case it’s something you’d find helpful, too.
A peek at the printable pages I created for my own crochet space.
What’s Inside?
The planner includes 10 printable pages, designed for real crocheters (not just the Pinterest-perfect kind). I kept it minimal but purposeful — no fluff, no clutter.
Here’s what’s included:
Project Tracker – track everything from start date to final notes
WIP Log – keep your in-progress projects in one tidy place
Yarn Inventory – never forget what you have (or how many skeins you still need)
Hook & Notion Inventory – because you know you’ve bought duplicates
Finished Projects Log – look back and feel proud of what you’ve made
Pattern Idea Page – space to sketch, plan, and brainstorm
Checklist + Notes Pages – for all the other bits and pieces we juggle
Why I Made It…
I wanted a space that felt intentional — something I could print and tuck into a binder, or leave on my project table. I didn’t want it to feel like homework. I wanted it to feel like a helper. I wanted something that kept me moving forward, reminded me what I’ve already done, and helped me feel a little more grounded in my creative work.
And if I’m being honest, I needed something to help me actually finish more of the projects I start.
Want to Try It?
If you’ve been looking for a way to bring more order and ease into your crochet life, I hope this planner helps you like it’s helped me.
