CrochetTop
CrochetTop is a crochet hat site built around fit. Its patterns and guides start from the wearer's head measurement and the maker's washed gauge instead of generic size labels, and a free calculator turns head size, ease and gauge into stitch counts. Patterns use US terms with inches and cm. The site launched in 2026, so the pattern library is still small.
