Crochet for modern makers
THIS is the show-stopping project you have been waiting for. I am SO excited to share this pattern with you because it is genuinely one of the most impressive wearable art pieces I have ever designed. Yes, it takes time. Yes, it requires patience. But […]
My niece turned three last spring, and I desperately wanted to make her something special. Not just another stuffed animal or blanket she would outgrow in months. I wanted something she could twirl in. Something that would make her feel like the little princess she […]
Last Easter, my niece showed up to brunch wearing the most adorable store-bought bunny sweater. Within twenty minutes, she’d spilled grape juice down the front and the cheap acrylic was already pilling. I watched my sister’s face fall as she tried to dab out the […]
I pulled this pattern out of my design notebook last week and just had to smile. I originally created it for my neighbor’s first grandbaby, a little one named Oliver who arrived on the first day of spring. The tiny bunnies and scattered carrots felt […]
I designed this cardigan back in 2019, sitting at my grandmother’s kitchen table with a cup of tea and her old crochet notebooks spread around me. She had sketched a granny square motif decades ago that she never turned into anything. I promised her I […]
I have been dreaming about this bag for months. I wanted to create something that combined two of my favorite techniques: granny stripes and classic granny squares. The goal was a tote that felt cheerful and springlike but still structured enough to actually use for […]
I named this design the Spring Garden Rose Bracelet because it reminds me of my grandmother’s cottage garden in late May. She had these climbing roses along her fence in exactly these colors: butter yellow, soft coral, dusty pink, and that pale sage green that […]

Let me guess. You saw this adorable barrel bag and thought, "That looks way too complicated for me." I get it. The structured shape, the fabric patches, the zipper, the hardware. It seems like a lot, right? Get the Ad-Free PDF Pattern You can find […]
I don’t know about you, but I have a serious weakness for bag charms. They’re the perfect way to add personality to a plain tote or make your keys easy to spot at the bottom of your purse. This sweet little floral charm combines delicate […]

Granny squares look intimidating, right? All those color changes, keeping corners neat, wondering if your squares will actually line up. I hear this from crocheters all the time. But here’s the truth: the classic granny square is one of the most forgiving, beginner-friendly patterns in […]
I sketched this mermaid doll in my notebook last spring, right when the cherry blossoms were blooming outside my window. I wanted to capture that soft pink, dreamy feeling in yarn form. Something whimsical but still huggable. After dozens of swatches and three complete tail […]
