Text walkthrough

  1. 0:00 — Select and build

    Start with a bear. Select a piece in the model or component list to edit its properties in Build.

  2. 0:10 — Add a component

    Open Add component for custom recipes, saved components and ready-made parts. Select a parent before adding an attachment.

  3. 0:20 — Paint a stripe

    Switch to Colour, select the body and choose Rounds. Select rounds 8–11 and apply coral; other rounds keep their colours.

  4. 0:30 — Read the pattern

    Open Pattern to check the body instructions and colour changes. Return to Build or Colour when you want to edit.

  5. 0:40 — Set measured gauge

    Open File, then Yarn and gauge. Enter stitches and rounds per 10 cm and apply the measurements for this project.

  6. 0:50 — Inspect custom curves

    Open the curved-tail starter. Its shaping sections and side view show a recipe using mixed single and half double crochet rounds. Test-crochet to check the estimated bend.

  7. 1:00 — Continue on a phone

    Use the bottom Build, Colour and Pattern navigation. Expand Choose component to select another part.

The current Colour workspace paints whole pieces and complete rounds or scarf rows. Individual-stitch painting is not available yet. The 3D surface estimates the recipe; gauge, tension and stuffing affect the finished crochet.
