Search Crochet items minus patterns in search results

[krochetlady]

Is it possible to search crochet baby blankets, without crochet baby blanket patterns appearing in the search?

I've tried crochet baby blanket -patterns

I've tried -patterns crochet baby blankets

I want to search crochet items without crochet pattern appearing in the results, please tell me how.

There’s no way. Etsy search is designed to bring up everything you didn’t want along with a few things you did. So if you search “crochet baby blanket” you are likely to get patterns, sewn blankets, toys, jewelry, and a whole mess of everything else. Your quickest bet would be to google it. If you search Etsy directly, settle in for a lot of scrolling.

@MirageRiverCreations  This is so true it’s almost funny.  Sad, too.

You can click on all filters. One of them allows you to chose either digital or physical items. If you chose physical most of the patterns will be filtered out.

I will search by price and have my low be where most patterns top out.

etsy doesn't do a Boolean search anymore so "-" doesn't work
if you put "pattern" anywhere in search terms, you will get a load of them

You can choose "physical", instead if "digital", which will eliminate a lot, however
you will still get ads with patterns, 
and people who e-mail patterns, as they have to be listed as physical

Yes: https://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?q=crochet+baby+blankets&explicit=1&instant_download=false&item_...

add filters for 1) physical items and 2) handmade, then select a price range that excludes almost all patterns. Unfortunately, you may get the odd anomaly in the ads, but the rest checks out. @krochetlady
