Submissions

Please note that we cannot currently provide any compensation for any submissions, however, once we are established and get enough advertisers, we do plan on providing small payments for submissions and will pay this out retroactively once it is set up.
  • What we are looking for
    • Each issue will have a basic theme and articles and patterns submitted for that issue should be based on that theme. Tips and techniques do not have to follow the theme for the issue. This doesn't mean that we won't accept content that doesn't go with the theme, but we'd prefer it. 
    • Home decor items are welcome for any issue: doilies, curtains, bed covers, kitchen items, etc.
    • We encourage innovation, designs for and by men, and for plus-size women/men.
    • Articles, patterns, and tips/techniques are now being accepted for our first issue due out on or about November 1, 2008 and must be submitted by October 15, 2008 in order to be considered for inclusion in the release.
    • Submissions must be new, not published or shown anywhere else prior to submission to Crochet Uncut. This does not include use for private testing purposes prior to submission.
  • Article and Pattern Format
    • Articles should have the article title, followed by the text with any images included in the order they should appear in the article. Articles may be submitted in MSWord or HTML format. Articles should deal with crochet, working with fiber, handcrafted tools for use with crochet, trimming knit with crochet, etc.
    • Patterns must follow the format provided in this MSWord document and contain at least one photo of the finished item and any charts or illustrations/photos needed.
    • Both article and pattern authors must fill out, sign, and submit the Submission form.
    • Articles and patterns must be written in American English.
    • Sizing must follow the guidelines provided at YarnStandards.com and as many sizes as possible included in the pattern.
    • Abbreviations must follow the ones provided at YarnStandards.com.
    • Hook sizes and terms must be in American English. Addition of measurements in millimeters is acceptable so those using non-American sizes can convert between the two.
