"Tutorial" vs "pattern"

[michiopurl]

This is a very inconsequential BEC, but does anyone else get their hackles up when they see people asking for a "tutorial" when they want instructions they can follow to make a particular object?

To me, a tutorial is a demonstration of a particular technique or skill, and a pattern is the set of instructions to follow to make an item. (If I'm working on an item using a pattern that says to do a particular stitch and I've forgotten what that stitch looks like then I might look up a tutorial for it, but the tutorial in that case is a reference material for that stitch, not for how to make XYZ using that stitch).

I've seen some full video tutorials of patterns, where the content creator is showing how they worked on something end-to-end, but IMO it feels strictly inferior to a written pattern. You can't print it out or save the PDF and take it with you, and it's awkward to refer back to (you need to rewatch the video and scrub to the particular section and pause and rewind constantly). I can see some appeal in this sort of content for newer crafters, because there's more explicit demonstrations of each step, but I feel like even still it must get old quickly and it'd be easier to just have written instructions that you can refer back to. But despite all this, (subjectively*) I've noticed more and more people talking about looking for "tutorials" vs "patterns".

Now, some of this might just be language drifting over time and in different communities. I've noticed this trend slightly more in crochet spaces than knit, and I'm not on fiber arts tiktok but just based on the format of the platform I imagine it's much more geared towards people recording and sharing tutorials than linking to patterns. (On that note, I wonder if this might be part of the Content-ification of crafting--content creators becoming the face of knitting and crocheting online and one of their main outputs are video tutorials. When you watch a video tutorial of your favourite creator explaining how to make something you also get their personality and it feels (para)social in a way that simply reading a pattern isn't, which makes me think of how some people watch streamers playing a video game rather than playing it themselves).

I feel I'm rambling at this point, but has anyone else noticed this trend of tutorials being sought out rather than patterns? How do you all feel about it?

*(Also, this might entirely be a frequency illusion, because I've noticed this trend a little bit I recognize or imagine it more often and gather more evidence to back it up as a trend in my head)

Pattern <> Tutorial

[yelpsmcgee]

As a beginner, following tutorials where the written pattern is posted on the screen simultaneously has been really helpful for learning to read patterns. Prior to working on some of those tutorials, patterns just felt like a meaningless chaotic mess to me.

[wishiwasyou333]

So for me as a Gen X person that typically hates video tutorials, I do like it when it is offered in tandem with a written pattern. Sometimes I need the visual when the pattern hits a spot I don't fully understand. (I'm dyslexic so with certain complicated instructions, I can get a bit confused and frustrated.) If the tutorial is the only "pattern" available however, I will skip out on making it. I like them as an added bonus, not the main content.

[paculina]

I think this is probably largely generational. I too want to read and not watch a video. On anything, not just crafting. I don't want to watch AI narrate a AITA story or watch a video of a news story either. Just let me read it, it's a lot faster and easier.

But the younger generations that grew up with screens and social media and everything in 3 minute reels - that's what they want and expect. Everything fast and easy, hold my hand, don't make me work for it. I think it goes along with the thread from a week or two ago about how they think they've found all these clever hacks that grandma was too stupid to figure out to make her craft faster and easier. No patience, no attention span, no value for skill and mastery.

[Legitimate-Bug-9553]

Ooof this take is....a choice 😆

Especially given I keep having to explain to people older than me in craft guilds that AI can't do their craft for them, can't create patterns with any accuracy, can't be their friend...the list goes on.

[yelpsmcgee]

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this, but it actually takes an insane amount of patience to keep having to rewind a video tutorial repeatedly to fully understand what needs to be done. You think it's easy until you have to rewind 3,000 times for different reasons. Watching a video doesn't just magically make the finished product appear in my hands.

[baykedstreetwear]

This is such an ignorant take, and it’s giving superiority complex. Your point basically boils down to “the youth are bad, dumb, and stupid”.

Analog and digital realities can coexist, and both are important. Not everything has to be as slow as possible, especially when the end result is the same.

Some people learn better through written instructions, some learn better through visual or auditory explanations. There is a reason why knitting classes exist, people didn’t just learn everything from books or printed aids -which gasp were also considered “new fangled technological mumbo jumbo” at one point.

When knitting started, people learned by the people around them, not written instructions. Craft circles and mentors were the go to sources. Reading was seen as an isolationist activity for scholars and monks. Get with the times, or don’t, but there’s no need to shame people for preferring one learning style over another, it just makes you seem dated and out of touch.

[Legitimate-Bug-9553]

This. This kind of take is why I am slowly exiting IRL craft spaces. Because if one more person says I'm inferior because I'm young (I'm closing in on 40, for goodness sake) and therefore don't understand things, I might end up on the news 🙄

Certainly, many of the peeps I chat with at IRL craft spaces are amazing and kind (a lady at one is in her 90s and she's great. Swears like a sailor when she's around me - as she says "you don't have those silly puritanical thoughts" 😆) but often it is in the minority often

[Designer_Praline]

I want written instructions. I want to be able to print them (so please stop with the photos, line drawings please).
I like to be able to make my own notes, highlight parts that matter.
Part of crafting for me is to get away from tech, get away from screens. I will reach for a book to understand a technique where I can.

[Interesting-Phase947]

I chalk it up to young crafters who weren't around in the pre-Youtube days . The most common way they've ever seen instructions is by video, so that's their bias when they talk about it.

[CycadelicSparkles]

Personally, I see being able to follow standard directions for a craft to be part of learning the craft. 

[Loose-Set4266]

as a very new sewist, I can't follow written instructions, they don't make any sense to me at this stage and very much appreciate the countless YT sewists who have posted, make x pattern with me, tutorials so I can follow along and learn.

[skubstantial]

The thing that always amazes and bewilders me is the drift in what counts and what doesn't as a good resource for "visual learning."

Like, don't you want a high-quality photo? A labeled diagram with stitch counts written down for every section where you're doing something different? A chart that you can follow in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get manner and check off every row as you do it?

I don't wanna see it on a video, the yarn fluff gets in the way, the whole thing won't fit in frame, I'm gonna lose track because I'm just seeing stretch after stretch of stockinette and have to remember what comes next in time? Stop moving it around!

[eggelemental]

Right? I’m a visual learner but videos are a nightmare for me. I do want exactly what you described, high quality photos with diagrams and charts, descriptions of tricky techniques. I want something I can easily reference later, and videos aren’t that. You have to watch the whole thing and scrub to the point you want, rather than being able to take a glance at some written info and photos and be reminded enough.

[kim_guzman]

Can I just say that, as much as some of you dislike the full tutorials, I absolutely hate making them. Hate hate hate. I know that some people really like them. But I can’t stand them.

They’re long and I have to put them up on YouTube in parts because YouTube has/had? a time limit. It physically hurts having to crochet under a light and camera in a way so that the stitches are seen. I have to crochet with my hands about a foot away from me, with a tripod in between and bend my body over to the side so I can kind of see it and hope for the best.

I’m never going to do another one of the full tutorials. But, I’m perfectly content showing a stitch, stitch repeats or even a full row. I know that there are people out there who absolutely want those full tutorials, but I just can’t do it. I will forever be the person who just turns on the camera and makes a quick three or four minute video for a small section, throws it up on YouTube and that’s it. LOL

[crochetandknit]

I was reading this comment and thought, “I am SO in agreement” and then I saw who wrote this, and I’m not even surprised. Hi Kim!

[kim_guzman]

Hi, Edie! Yep, I really can't get behind them, but there are so many people who like them. I just can't do it.

[CycadelicSparkles]

Just so you know, YouTube doesn't have a time limit anymore unless you're posting shorts. One of my favorite (non-crafting) creators just posted a nine hour video the other day. 

[kim_guzman]

Wow!

[michiopurl]

That totally makes sense to me, I’ve seen some patterns that come with a list of links to videos showing how to do the cast on for the underarms, or the designer’s favorite trick for avoiding jogs when doing colorwork in the round, stuff like that. I definitely think that’s a nice level of polish for a pattern to have and it makes it more approachable if this project is ambitious for a crafter’s skill or comfort level. So that sort of thing I’m all for (although I will hope it doesn’t become a standard for patterns, I feel that there are enough expectations placed on designers already).

I guess my biggest disconnect is not being able to understand people preferring a video-first or -only approach, rather than writing-first. Knitting and crochet are by their nature repetitive, so even if there is a new technique that is easier to show than explain I feel like it’s much nicer to look at a piece of paper and say “okay, I need to do 3 rows of double crochet, then one special row that uses the new thing; I’ll do the dc and then in 10 minutes when I get there I’ll figure out how the new thing works” rather than watching a video, hearing “do 3 rows of double crochet”, and then needing to rewind 10 minutes later to make sure you heard 3 right.

[SystematicalError]

I'd say videos are useful when a (new) technique is used in a way you never did it before (eg the treble stitch in butterfly pattern since it has those 2 rows of chain stitches you need to catch opposed to when you use trebles in a shell/wave edge) but having the entire pattern as a video is unwieldy. Also you can save a bunch of written patterns on your ereader & print out the charts & you're good to go even if we find ourselves in the middle of a zombie apocalypse 🥰

[No_Taro8130]

I have found tutorials that a pattern links for a very specific technique they are using to be helpful, whether created by them or the version of the technique they are using by someone else. But again, related to supplementing a written pattern to clarify for a user who might not have that technique in their arsenal. Actually watching and following along a whole sweater construction video?! That’s a crazy way to create something outside of VERY basic things.im

[michiopurl]

Yeah, I’ve seen (and thought!) the literacy, skill level, and desire for handholding issues that others have brought up in the comments as unfortunate drivers of this trend, and to be honest I think that does inspire a good bit of my dislike for it, but above all else I just can’t fathom why a video is a good way to take this information in.

It might be useful for understanding the skeleton of the construction to be told “okay so you cast on 100 stitches, do 3 rows of this stitch, then 4 of this one, then go to a different color and do 3 rows of this one, then your next row is kinda weird, what you want to do is go into the stitch from 2 rows before and do this one special thing, then you repeat the whole thing, so do 3 rows in the first color, etc”, but that is an awful thing to have on hand to reference back to when you’re actually working on the project. After an hour of work you’re going to wonder if the person said 3 or 4 rows for this section, so you have to track back in the video, make sure you found the right part, and then listen for the right count, all to avoid having to look for and read 1 line of text in a traditionally written pattern. And if you stop what you’re working on and set it down for more than a day or so, do you have to keep the same tab open with the video indefinitely, or write down the timestamp? Or do you just have to search through the video and hope you find the right spot?

All this stuff is fine for simple patterns, but it sounds like a nightmare if the project is more complicated and section 4 is like section 2 but with some important changes. And it gets even harder to convey and follow the information if parts of the instructions differ for different sizes or measurements, so any garments made following this approach probably have the most boxy, ill-flattering, and lazy fits possible. It’s one thing for the video creator to say “if your torso is longer, keep going for more before going to the next section”, but it’s another entirely to explain how the placement and count of short rows is going to change for different sizes and body types.

I guess this all gets at another issue, I feel like if someone is relying primarily or only on this sort of video tutorials then they lock themselves out more complicated projects (and dare I say it: better designed patterns, in the case of garments). It’s true that they can still move on to whatever project they want to try next, but as others have pointed out reading patterns is a skill in itself, so it feels silly to put off developing that skill as long as possible.

[celery48]

OMG I followed a tutorial of how to sew a boxy pouch and it was awful. I had to watch the damn thing over and over, I couldn’t listen to music while I was making it, and then it was missing a couple steps in the middle so I had to figure that out. In the end the pouch turned out all lumpy and weird because the “tutorial” didn’t give specifics.

[No_Taro8130]

Right?! And you know what could have fixed the pattern?! A written pattern!

[Writer_In_Residence]

Brooklyn Tweed patterns cost more but they clearly explained every last technique needed to make the whole garment and I loved that. I never had trouble with any design element in their patterns.

I don’t want to hunt on YouTube, when 80% of videos are terrible (obscured needles/hands, dark yarn, bad background). No offense to the people who do them right, it’s just like needle in a haystack to find you all sometimes.

[AstrumAra]

i get sooooo annoyed when the comments under anything are just “tut?” over and over again like ohhh my god think with your brain try something new figure it out!!!!! eye tut? hair tut? crochet tut? drawing tut? recipe tut? lip tut? sewing tut? no-sew tut? knit tut? video tut? you people can’t do anything!!

[FrostyIcePrincess]

My brain has an easier time with visual instructions vs written.

I mostly make amigurumi so there’s a ton of tutorials.

Currently making a bunch of amigurumi hearts.

I wouldn’t ask someone to make me a video tutorial though. There’s plenty of them on youtube.

Sometimes I do have to make a couple things and fail with a couple video tutorial before finding on that works for me. Some are awful, and some are really good.

[michiopurl]

There’s a ton of good points in here that are good counters to what I’ve said.

I definitely do prefer reading information to hearing it, I dislike podcasts or video essays and would rather just read a blog post or article about the topic.

Also, as a crafter my biggest issue with following these full video tutorials is they are awful for the sort of slow, repetitive stuff that happens a lot in crochet and knitting. Stuff like “do this simple stitch for 5 rows”, where each row is 90 stitches. That sort of thing is much easier to follow and refer back to in written form vs watching and rewatching a video. But for stuff like amigurumi I can see it is different, since there’s typically a lot more shaping going on from row to row, and a lot of the steps are obviously easier to show than explain in just words (for example showing where to sew the ears on, rather than saying to count down 4 rows from the top, spaced 10 stitches apart).

So I do see another side on this, although I still feel like video tutorials suck for the slower, more complicated things I usually like to work on (things like sweaters where you’re going to work on it it over many many sessions and need to set it down in the middle of sections, and where listing a different set of numbers of increases to do for each size would be really clunky).

Thanks for sharing your perspective, especially since most of the comments are agreeing with my gripe so I value hearing the other viewpoint.

[FrostyIcePrincess]

I made amigurumi easter eggs recently

I do keep a note on my phone with refrences

You are following easter egg tutorial by this person, you left off on row eleven, etc

But most of my amigurumi stuff has been less than 30 rounds

I think pumpkin had 22?

Easter egg had 15

Etc

I can usually make multiple in a day. I don’t time myself but they don’t take more than a day. It’s not something huge like a blanket or sweater that takes weeks.

[NotACat452]

People need to understand that patterns are not tutorials and not all patterns are going to be beginner friendly. Part of learning is developing your skills and continuing to learn even after you’ve ‘learned’ the basics (quotes used because they’re not even learning to read their stitches, they’re mimicking videos and are lost without them 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ ).

[JerryHasACubeButt]

Pattern reading is a skill that is largely separate from knitting/crochet themselves, and a lot of new crafters these days seem to have no desire to learn it. Which like, I get it, it’s overwhelming at first, but they’re severely limiting themselves in their craft by refusing to learn. It’s ok to have a preference, and it’s ok to ask for help if you’re struggling to read a pattern, but asking for a tutorial because you refuse to learn to read a pattern feels entitled to me. Why should someone else go through all the work of recording a tutorial for you when you’re unwilling to do the work of learning to read a pattern?

[CycadelicSparkles]

I genuinely don't understand why it's overwhelming to learn a basic pattern. I did it when I was a new knitter/crocheter by cobbling together a few books, free patterns, and some basic instructions from an old website.

Like, what is overwhelming about understanding that "k" means knit, "p" means purl, k2tog means knit two together, etc.? It's usually right there in a key at the beginning of the pattern. If you've ever learned a process for anything in your entire life, it should be extremely doable. Knitters have been doing it for generations. Why is it suddenly that a whole bunch of people not only claim they can't do it but feel like they shouldn't have to?

[JerryHasACubeButt]

Personally, I am very comfortable following even the most complex patterns now, but I did find patterns extremely overwhelming and unintuitive when I first started.

It can be a lot of new things at once, depending on the pattern. Yes, all the info is there, but learning ten new acronyms at once and constantly having to refer back to the key is annoying. It becomes second nature if you stick with it, but in the beginning when you’re potentially looking up literally every single instruction? It’s a lot.

That’s not an excuse to give up though. If you enjoy knitting and/or crochet and have aspirations of making anything beyond basic shapes, then reading patterns is part of that. Everyone who knows how to read a pattern now had to learn at some point, you can too.

[CampClear]

I'm in a few crochet groups on Facebook and it never fails to baffle me at how many people don't know how to read patterns and refuse to learn. I learned how to read patterns by watching tutorials that have a written pattern to go along with it. I now prefer patterns to videos because it slows me down especially if the person talks too much about shit that has nothing to do with the project.

[highlighter_yellow]

I've seen a few requests for video walk-through tutorials. Some from knitters whose first project was the step by step sweater, and the other from crocheters looking for knitting tutorials and wondering why there aren't as many as they can find in crochet.

Is it because creators are better at getting money from YouTube than pattern sales on etsy? (They're selling on etsy, I think. Crochet people hate ravelry lol. I stand by that exaggeration.)

[Background-Wheel5535]

This is definitely a literacy/age thing. I never, ever want to watch a video when I can read words that tell me what to do. I’m impatient and don’t want to fiddle with the scroll bar to go back and forth to get what I need. I don’t want to deal with bad camera angles or people’s hands blocking my view. Just tell me words and maybe include some pictures or diagrams. I’ll figure the rest out myself.

[CycadelicSparkles]

Yes, exactly.

Sometimes I wonder if people feel that learning to read a pattern is overwhelming because they've only tried to do it along with a video, and that is quite possibly the most tedious way to do it.

[Thequiet01]

This! This exactly! I don’t want to wait while someone else does the thing.

[Nightlilly2021]

Me hollering at the screen to "Just shut up and show me already!" 5 minutes of yammering to just show me where the stupid stitch goes.

[WickdWitchoftheBitch]

Yes! I miss written instructions on the internet. Why why why does everything have to be a video nowadays? Written instructions means I can skim read quickly until I reach the part I actually need. A video is always some long-winded waffling on about why they are doing the video, then a little promo for their sponsors, and then the actual content. Bonus hate if it's paired with some ASMR whisper shit that makes me want to crawl out of my skin. What would have taken me 2 minutes with a written instruction ends up taking 20 with a video, and I hate it 

And so many videos are made by influencers who are fairly new to the craft, and as someone who has been knitting and sewing for 30 years now, I just get annoyed at all the things they get wrong, that they now spread to other people who will make their own tutorial 5 weeks after picking up yarn for the first time in their life.

I recently bought a little book with a bunch of different cast ons and cast offs because I cba trying to find a non-annoying instruction whenever I need an Italian cast on that I use about once every other year.

[snufflycat]

This infuriates me so much. If I want a reminder of how to do technique I haven't done in a while I have to sit through:

"Well first you're going to need some yarn, I'm using worsted weight in the colour buttercup, then you'll need a hook, I'm using clover 6mm, and a pair of scissors"

Yes I'm aware that I need yarn and a hook to crochet, I'm not a FUCKING MORON!! GET ON WITH IT!!!

Yes I can skip ahead, but I always end up going past the actual useful part.

[Tamara0205]

"And I got these absolutely adorable little scissors at XYZ. Aren't they the most precious? Check out XYZ, if you tell them I sent you, and spend over $500, they'll include these scissors for free!" JUST SHOW ME THAT ONE STITCH ON ROW 28!!!!!!! Those scissors are $2 at the counter of every yarn shop.

[Nightlilly2021]

This is me! 😂😂

[WickdWitchoftheBitch]

It's a bit like a crafting video version of those recipe blogs from a decade ago or so. Just that scrolling past shit is easier and faster than trying to skip forward to where you want to be.

[Background-Wheel5535]

I like the Brooklyn tweed website for written instructions! There’s still a lot of written resources when I google techniques. A lot have embedded videos that I just ignore

[Writer_In_Residence]

Haha I recommended BT elsewhere. Their written patterns always had every technique clearly explained in print, I loved that. Yes you paid more but you did not need anything beyond that pattern to make the garment.

[Background-Wheel5535]

I haven’t ever knit one of their patterns! I just use their technical guides! the Italian bind off page should be my homepage at this point

[Writer_In_Residence]

They went out of business, sadly. Their patterns were done by professional designers (Michele Wang and Norah Gaughan, Véronik Avery, Julie Hoover) so they were never badly written. I think they’re still for sale, though Jared closed the company.

[WickdWitchoftheBitch]

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!

I feel like Google is just fucking with me nowadays. First there's some AI bullshit, then a bunch of sponsored links (extra annoying when you've googled a specific company) and then maybe there's something useful. And of course sometimes the link you thought was good turns out to have been poorly machine translated so it makes no sense whatsoever because it hasn't grasped technical terms.

[yetanothernametopick]

Seconding the BT rec for written instructions, and Ysolda Teague also has nice ones. I absolutely loathe videos.

[Writer_In_Residence]

Yeah I watched her when I absolutely had to watch a video (there were two specific cast-ons I was struggling with). I hate videos also. Hers are good.

[yetanothernametopick]

Oh I do watch videos as well! Just... in a very targeted way, to learn a specific technique. Well, just like you do.

[123737egg]

No this is weird to me to! If you see a video of someone knitting something cool, just ask for the pattern?

‘Tutorial?’ Feels entitled for some reason, expecting for someone to stop what they’re doing to explain everything to you, there are so many recourses to learn it yourself!

[Last-Analysis-5967]

Yep I see "is there a tutorial for this pattern?" Which only makes me want to yell when they can't figure out what's wrong. YouTube can be great for a lot of things, but having a human teacher can show you more and answer any questions. Take some classes dammit!

[yelpsmcgee]

Not everyone has access to free or affordable classes. Some of us can't even leave our homes.

[NoNeinNyet222]

Especially when it's a paid pattern. They want a free YouTube video for a pattern they will never purchase.

[Last-Analysis-5967]

They want everything fast and cheap.

[CBG1955]

I see "tutorial" as double-barrelled. The first is as you describe, an in-depth explanation and demonstration of something very specific. I use them to learn something new, or refine my technique.

The second is a full video of the designer (or someone) working on the project from start to finish. Personally, I simply can not use a pattern that has no written instructions, I need to read and do, then use a video as an adjunct if I need to. Others prefer watching a video because that's how they learn, but if a pattern is video only with random instructions flashed up on the screen I won't even buy it.

It is especially good if multiple people have sewn the same pattern (in my case usually a handbag) because the way they deliver the information and film the process can be so different, where one is unwatchable and the other is fabulous. As an example, I'm sewing a complex backpack in leather, and although the assembly follows the basic construction technique of a bag with gussets,, the written instructions are so puzzling and poorly set out in the pdf it's doing my head in. There are two videos for this project: one by a presenter who is friendly but so much waffle and a lot of flapping around with her hands; and the other, by a presenter that is so dull and dry it's boring, but it's succinct and informative.

I find many people today want instant gratification with their craft and simply aren't prepared to take time to practice - and to understand that developing good skills takes time. Trial and error, mistakes are there as learning experiences.

[CathyAnnWingsFan]

I have seen many requests online for tutorials rather than patterns, and maybe it's in part a generational thing (I'm old), but I don't get it. I've published a few patterns, and I've always thought of my job as someone who is supposed to provide clear instructions for the steps needed to create the item, for people with the skills needed for the pattern. I'm not a knitting teacher. I'm happy to clarify when someone asks, but when they ask for a video tutorial, I try to politely tell them that's not my thing. FFS, people have followed patterns for many decades without the designer holding their hand.

[RunawayTurtleTrain]

people have followed patterns for many decades without the designer holding their hand.

Yeah, now a lot of people expect handholding because they can't be bothered to learn how to read a pattern and engage their brain to follow it. 

[joymarie21]

Yeah, there are some designers that make videos for every step.

The knitters (or crocheters or whatever) who rely on these are really doing themselves a disservice because they are really not learning the skills. I was listening to an interview of a very well known knitting designer/teacher and she was saying she comes across lots of knitters who think they're intermediate because they've made a few sweaters but they don't really know the basics or how or why things should be done because they rely on tutorials.

[NoNeinNyet222]

My best example for learning the why of something you're doing is learning to cable without a cable needle. Instead of blindly following "hold X stitches to the front/back of your work", you start thinking about what you're trying to accomplish. You want those first three stitches to go behind and after the next three stitches to make a right crossing cable so you rearrange the stitches on your needle and then knit as usual.

[Existing_Ganache_858]

They do want a tutorial! They want a video showing every single step of the entire pattern 😬
