Year of Garments (YOG!)

My year of Garments has started! I want you to be able to wear your crochet - and it not be just granny squares!

All the garments will be with easy to remember stitch patterns, and based on rectangles - so no increasing or decreasing (or very little).

If you can make a granny square, you can make these patterns!

Loop by Loop: Getting you hooked on Crochet

Do you want to learn to crochet?

Based on my 5 week learn to crochet workshop, the Loop by Loop book has over 60 pages crammed with tips, conventions, technique, photo-tutorials, charts and easy to make patterns for each section with an additional ripple cardigan pattern at the end. 

I answer questions like how to get straight edges to rows of crochet, how to sew in ends, why and how to block your work and much, much more!

You can order the book only, book with a yarn pack in one of two colourways, or the book with a yarn pack and starter kit, which includes a crochet hook, stitch markers, scissors and wool needles with a project bag and zipped pouch. 

About Diana The Designer

Hi, I am Diana, I am a passionate crochet designer and maker and the person behind The Crochet Chain.  I design, make, write and print all the original patterns here.  I jointly organise Waltham Abbey Wool Show, and WoollyAway and run my business from my (rather crowded) front room!

Established in 2010 with a love of yarn, colour, and a sprinkling of quirkiness, I have created original crochet patterns and kits from shawls to toys, cardigans to blankets, all designed to be easy to follow, and that use a minimum of sewing up!

I sell my designs and kits online on my own website, on Ravelry, and at Shows.  I teach Crochet at Crates of Wool in Ware, from Learn to Crochet to all the different techniques including Tunisian, Broomstic and Freeform.  I also do my own workshops at different Shows with my favourite being the Knitting and Stitching show at Ally Pally.

I love to design patterns and courses to help you from your first steps to being a confident crocheter, with simple but ingenious designs that take you further on your crochet journey!
