StitchCheck is a free crochet pattern checker and 3D preview made by FamCraftsShop. It has no accounts and no sign-in. This page explains what data is involved when you use it.

Your patterns stay in your browser

Patterns, colours, your own stitch keys and your language choice are saved in your browser's local storage so they are there next time. They are not sent to us. A share link carries the pattern inside the link itself; anyone you give the link to can see it.

Advertising and cookies

You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings, and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown.
