Why these tags work for crochet patterns sellers
- →Tag the exact project ("crochet blanket pattern", "amigurumi pattern") — pattern buyers search by item.

How Etsy tags actually work
Etsy gives every listing 13 tags of up to 20 characters each. The algorithm matches buyer searches against your title and these tags, so wasting a tag on a single generic word ("gift") throws away a match you could have won with a phrase ("gift for her"). Fill all 13, keep each one a real search phrase, and don't repeat words you already used in your title.
