Store user-generated patterns separately from system library. This is the heart of the program. Three main approaches: A. Template-based generation Use string templates with placeholders. Example template: Crochet Pattern Program

| Shape | Construction | Math required | |-------|--------------|----------------| | Rectangle | Rows back and forth | length = rows × row_gauge_height | | Tube (in the round) | Continuous spiral or joined rounds | circumference = sts × stitch_width | | Circle | Rounds with regular increases | increase_rounds: sts += increment | | Triangle | Decrease at edges or center | slope = rate of decrease per row | | Sphere | Increase to max circumference then decrease | symmetric inc/dec rounds | "name": "Simple Beanie"
