for crochet, it kinda depends on what I’m making (I’m either making patterns I designed myself, or patterns I found online).
for knitting, since I’m still very inexperienced, I’ve only been making scrunchies so far I don’t really follow patterns for them tho, I just found a few tutorials on how to knit in the round/cast off (or youtube shorts of people making scrunchies) and figure out how to do the rest myself (somehow)
