About

Welcome!

I’m Harriet, a crochet designer, maker, and teacher passionate about turning yarn into something beautiful.

This blog is where I share my patterns, tutorials, and inspiration so you can enjoy the art of crochet as much as I do.

How It All Began

My crochet journey started over 40 years ago when I picked up a hook for fun, learned from books. What began as a simple hobby quickly grew into a passion that connects creativity, community, and tradition.

Over time, I’ve expanded my skills to include amigurumi, garments, blankets, home décor, and more, and I’ve had the joy of designing patterns, teaching others, and sharing crochet with people around the world.

What This Blog Offers

This blog is built for anyone who loves crochet especially quick and easy projects — whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced maker looking for fresh ideas. Here you’ll discover:

  • Fast crochet patterns, tested and easy to follow
  • Creative project ideas to spark inspiration
  • Easy to follow patterns

My goal is simple: to make crochet approachable, modern, and fun while helping you grow your skills and confidence.

Beyond the Hook

When I'm not crocheting, you'll probably find me baking, reading or gardening or spending time with family.

I love creating my own crochet patterns and finding ways to streamline them for quicker completion. Crochet is my passion, but it’s also part of a balanced, creative life.
