Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to find, read and follow our patterns — including people who use screen readers, keyboards, magnification or other assistive technologies.

Our goal

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA wherever we can.

What we have done

• Built pages with semantic HTML, clear headings and landmarks.
• Made every feature usable with a keyboard, with visible focus indicators and a skip-to-content link.
• Checked text and interface colors for sufficient contrast.
• Written descriptive alternative text for images.
• Respected your device's reduced motion setting.
• Included stitch counts and plain-language explanations in patterns.
• Created Crochet Mode, which enlarges instructions and removes distractions while you work.
• Made patterns print cleanly, with navigation removed.

Known limitations

• Downloadable PDFs are generated automatically and may not be fully tagged for screen readers. The web version of every pattern contains the same instructions and is the most accessible way to follow it.
• Images: many patterns currently use illustrations rather than photos of the finished item. They have text alternatives, but they don't show every detail of the finished project.
• Embedded videos, where present, are provided by YouTube, and their player accessibility is outside our control.

Compatibility

The site is designed to work with current versions of major browsers and with common screen readers.
