Cozy crochet sweater featuring bold black and white granny squares, perfect for modern crochet projects

Hi there! I’m Sharlene

🧶 My favorite thing in the world is crochet. I love wearing it, talking about it, and writing about it.

I’m obsessed with the pattern-making process—and nothing beats seeing what you guys create from my designs (Check out all my free crochet patterns)

ā˜• I’m a devoted tea lover—especially green tea—and I even use a temperature-controlled kettle to brew it just right. (A little nerdy, and proud.)

šŸŖ I love baking muffins and cookies. They’re not picture-perfect, but my family says they’re delicious.

šŸ–ļø I adore the idea of a relaxing beach day; in reality, with small kids it can feel like Disney World at rush hour. I still love it. šŸ™‚

Ps. If you’re brand new to crochet, I think you’ll love reading my blog post on How To Crochet for Absolute Beginners.
And don’t forget my free Crochet Stitch Abbreviation Guide (which you can also download as a free pdf file you can always have on you), which makes it easy to understand the most common crochet stitches ā€” across English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and UK/AU terms, making your crocheting experience smoother and more enjoyable.
