What is Plyful?
Plyful is a crafting community that is passionate about elevating crochet, creating a supportive community, and providing valuable learning resources for its members. We offer a curated collection of high-quality crochet patterns, exclusive monthly designs, and a platform for interaction and communication among members and designers.
How do Plyful memberships work?
We offer a variety of membership options — each with unique perks to match your making style.
Explore all membership levels here.
Over time, our memberships have evolved, and we’re always working to make them better for our community. Here’s a breakdown of what you get with each benefit:
🧶Pattern credits:
All paid patterns in our collection can be purchased using either pattern credits or regular payment.
- As a member, you’ll receive a set number of credits when you join.
- Need more? Members can buy additional credits at a discounted rate HERE.
- Non-members must pay full price for patterns and cannot purchase credits.
- Credits never expire, but they can only be used while your membership is active.
📚Free-Pattern Library:
This is a curated selection of patterns that are free for most membership levels—no credits required!
- If you’re not a member, you can still purchase them individually.
- If you’re a Premium member (not Bobbin), you can add these to your library at no extra cost.
🎥Live events and classes:
Live classes and Thread Talks take place every month to enhance your crochet skills and allow you to interact with renowned designers as well as receive support and socialize with other members. All live events, including masterclasses, Thread Talks and Stitch Socials, are exclusive to Plyful members.
- Designer interviews (i.e. Thread Talks) are shared publicly on the Nomad Stitches Podcast and on our website.
- But live classes and events? Members-only!
- Stich Socials are weekly meet-ups with Sandra Gutierrez of Nomad Stitches for conversation, crochet support and good vibes.
- Browse all of our future events HERE.
📼On-demand masterclass:
Our growing library of on-demand classes, taught by leading designers, is available to all members.
- New content is added regularly, so there’s always something to learn.
- These classes are not available for individual purchase outside of Plyful.
💬Telegram Group:
Our members-only Telegram group is a vibrant space to connect, chat, ask questions, and get the latest updates.
- It’s where inspiration and support meet in real time.
🌟Plyful-Exclusive Patterns:
These patterns are designed by our founder or guest designers and are exclusive to Plyful for a limited time (typically 6–12 months).
- However, any related classes taught during this time are only accessible on Plyful.
- After that, some may become available through the designers’ own shops.
- While we don’t promise to publish a new pattern every month, we usually do!
📖Project Tracker and Pattern Library:
The project tracker helps you stay organized and the Pattern Library give you access to all of your patterns on all devices without having to worry about PDF downloads.
- Both the Tracker and Library are available to anyone with a user account, member or not.
Are the patterns size-inclusive and suitable for all skill levels?
Yes! At Plyful, we take pride in curating patterns that are size-inclusive and suitable for crocheters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, you’ll find patterns that inspire and challenge you in the best possible way.
What if I need help with a specific pattern or have questions about my projects?
Our community is designed to be supportive and helpful. If you have any questions about a pattern or need assistance with your projects, feel free to reach out to our community members in the Telegram Group or the Plyful team via email. We’re here to make your crafting experience enjoyable and successful. You can also contact the specific designer via the information provided in the pattern.
Are all of Nomad Stitches patterns available on Plyful?
Since Sandra Gutierrez of Nomad Stitches is one of the founders of Plyful, most of the patterns available are hers. However, not all of Nomad Stitches patterns are available on Plyful given that the bar has been raised for this curated collection and only those patterns that are size-inclusive and edited to the current standard have made the cut. Older patterns are being updated and will be added to the collection later on. If there’s anything in specific that you would like to see added, please let us know!
Can I cancel my Plyful membership anytime?
Absolutely. While we’d hate to see you go, you have the freedom to cancel your Plyful membership at any time. No strings attached! However, keep in mind that you’ll lose access to the exclusive benefits and patterns that come with being a member.
To change your membership, all you have to do is go to Account/Membership/change.
What if I can’t attend the live classes and podcasts? Will I be able to watch them afterwards?
All of our live events are recorded and uploaded to our website on the Media page. You can then watch them anytime you want. Make sure you visit our Events Calendar to find out what is going on every month.
Can I participate in the community and connect with other members?
Absolutely! Plyful is not just about patterns; it’s a thriving community of like-minded crafters. You can actively engage with other members, ask questions, share your projects, and build meaningful connections through our community features.
Is my personal information secure on Plyful?
Yes, your privacy and security are of utmost importance to us. We have implemented robust measures to safeguard your personal information and ensure a safe browsing and shopping experience on Plyful.
When will I receive my credit?
You’ll receive your pattern credits as soon as you sign up — and then again every time your subscription renews, whether that’s monthly, every 6 months, or yearly, depending on your membership plan.
🎁 Welcome credits are a one-time gift for first-time subscribers. These are not repeated with renewals.
🧵 Bobbins (our most budget-friendly-tier members) don’t receive credits automatically but can still purchase them at a discounted rate HERE.
Will I be able to access the patterns in my Library after cancelling my membership?
Yes, you will have access to your account for as long as you want and you can see your patterns in the Library. However, you will no longer be able to access any of the live events, watch videos or purchase pattern credits without an active membership.
Will I be able to use remaining credits after cancelling my membership?
Unfortunately, exchanging credits for patterns is only available to Plyful members. However, your credits will remain saved in your account and if you ever choose to restart your membership, you will be able to used them then.
