Crochet patterns, resources and tutorials for curious crocheters of any skill level
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
This famous William Morris quote is front of mind when designing and I think it sums up my approach to crochet design well.
My style is simple, modern and little bit playful. Each design attempts to show you something new or look at a stitch in a different way. I love to share new techniques and skills I learn with you through patterns and tutorials.
I focus on designing practical crochet patterns to create items that you can use in your everyday life or gift to loved ones. This includes crochet clothing patterns, wearable accessories and contemporary home decor designs.
