The Crafty Wren shares pins on Pinterest to help fellow crocheters discover blanket ideas, amigurumi projects, and stitch tutorials at a glance. This page explains what those pins are meant to do, how the appearance of visuals can shift depending on your screen or the Pinterest platform itself, and what to do if you have a concern about an image, a description, or how a pin represents our work.

What Our Pinterest Pins Are For

Every pin we publish — whether it is a photo of a striped one row repeat blanket, a plush strawberry stitch, or a no-sew sea turtle amigurumi — is meant purely as a visual summary and an invitation to click through to the full pattern on our website. Pins are not the pattern itself. They are a snapshot: a teaser image, a short title, and sometimes a brief description written to fit Pinterest's format and character limits. The complete instructions, stitch counts, yarn recommendations, and finishing notes always live on the actual blog post, never in the pin alone.

Because of this, we ask that you never try to crochet a project from a pin's image or caption alone. Please click through and read the full write-up before picking up your hook, since important details like hook size, gauge, or safety notes for amigurumi eyes and stuffing are only found there.

Why Visuals May Look Different Than Expected

Pinterest compresses, crops, and resizes images to fit its grid layout, and this process varies by device, app version, and even by whether you are browsing on a phone, tablet, or desktop. A photo of a water lily crochet flower blanket that looks crisp and true-to-color on our website may appear slightly cropped, darker, or differently proportioned once it passes through Pinterest's own display system. Colors in particular can shift depending on your screen's calibration, so the yarn shade you see in a pin might read a touch warmer or cooler than the actual finished piece.

We take reasonable care with the photography and image sourcing we use, and background details on where our visuals come from are outlined on our Image Credits page. Still, we cannot control how Pinterest ultimately renders, crops, or recommends any given pin to a viewer.

Pinterest Controls Its Own Platform

Pinterest, not The Crafty Wren, controls the algorithm that decides which pins are shown, to whom, and in what order. We do not have influence over Pinterest's search rankings, its recommendation engine, or the way related pins are grouped alongside ours. If you find that a search on Pinterest surfaces a pin that seems outdated, mismatched with the current blog content, or linked to a page that has since been updated, this is often simply how the platform's caching and indexing works rather than an error on our end. We regularly review and refresh our own pins, but Pinterest's copies and re-pins made by other users are outside our direct control.

It is also worth noting that other Pinterest users may re-pin, edit captions on, or repost our images within their own boards. We are not responsible for third-party captions, edits, or claims attached to our visuals once they circulate beyond our own account, though we do appreciate hearing about misuse so we can address it where possible.

Amigurumi and Craft Safety Reminder

Because several of our most-saved pins feature amigurumi like octopuses, sea turtles, and coaster animals, we want to gently remind Pinterest browsers that finished plush toys involving small parts, safety eyes, or stuffing are not appropriate for infants or very young children unless adapted with embroidered features and securely closed seams. A cheerful pin photo cannot convey every safety consideration, so please always read the full pattern notes on our site before making a project as a gift for a child.

Raising a Concern About a Pin or Image

If you believe a pin misrepresents a pattern, uses an image incorrectly, or raises a rights or attribution question, we genuinely want to know. Please reach out through our Contact page or email us directly at [email protected] with a link or screenshot of the pin in question. We will look into it and correct, update, or remove the pin as appropriate.

For broader context on how we handle images, sourcing, and permissions across the site, our Image Credits page is the best starting point. General limitations on how our content and visuals should be interpreted are covered in our Disclaimer, and questions about sponsored content or affiliate links occasionally shared via Pinterest are addressed in our Affiliate Disclaimer.

Our Commitment

We built The Crafty Wren to be a trustworthy home for tested crochet patterns, honest tutorials, and beginner-friendly guides, and that same care extends to how we present ourselves on Pinterest. We aim for pins that are accurate, appealing, and genuinely reflective of the projects behind them. If something ever feels off, your feedback helps us keep it that way — so do not hesitate to get in touch.
