FAQ

Common questions

How do I turn a photo into a crochet pattern?

Upload any photo to Bobble, choose how many yarn colours you want, and the tool builds a colour-coded crochet chart with row-by-row written instructions. You can fine-tune each colour to match yarn you already own, then export the chart as a PNG or PDF.

Is Bobble free to use?

Yes. Bobble has a free plan that lets you create up to 3 cloud-synced projects, use 4 starter templates, export PNG charts and copy written instructions. Bobble Pro (£3.99/month) unlocks unlimited projects, the full template library, style filters and PDF export.

Does Bobble support C2C and single crochet graphghans?

Yes. You can switch between corner-to-corner (C2C) and single-crochet (SC) modes and Bobble adjusts the chart and written instructions to match the technique you’re using.

Do I need to install anything?

No installation needed. Bobble runs entirely in your web browser on phone, tablet or desktop. You can also add it to your home screen and use it offline once loaded.

Can I match my own yarn brand colours?

Yes. Tap any swatch in the palette to adjust it. You can pick exact hex values, sample from your photo, or nudge each colour to match the yarn in your stash.
