From Dog Walker to Crochet Creator

Behind The Colorful Crochet Patterns

Hey There!

I’m Lauren, the face behind Willow Crochet. If you asked me what my happy place is, it would definitely involve a crochet hook, a cup of coffee, and a our dog Willow* snuggled up next to me. 

*Yes, I did name my business after the dog.

Where It Started

In 2020, I started designing my own amigurumi patterns and I wanted to share them with fellow crocheters. Plus, let’s be real, a little extra cash to fund my yarn shopping wouldn’t hurt.  I had no intentions of this becoming a full time gig, I was perfectly happy working as a dog walker, spending my days surrounded by dogs (total dog person, in case you couldn’t tell). But then, something unexpected happened – my little crochet side hustle took off.

Inspiring Graphgan Creations

Fast forward to today, and Willow Crochet has blossomed into so much more. I discovered my love for graphgans, and I’m dedicated to creating high-quality patterns and tutorials that inspire fellow crocheters. My goal is to guide you through the graphgan process and help you feel confident in creating your own stunning blankets.

Moments That Make Me Smile

Along this crochet journey, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with yarn brands like We Crochet and Hobbii. Seeing my designs featured in publications like I Like Crochet and Knitty has been an absolute blast. But nothing makes me happier than seeing the beautiful projects that you create using my patterns. Seriously, shoot me an email and share your creations with me.

Let's Stay Connected
