About Lucy's Crochet

Hi, I'm Lucy Callahan!

Welcome to Lucy's Crochet! I'm a crochet pattern designer, craft instructor, and lifelong yarn collector based in Burlington, Vermont. My older sister taught me how to crochet a striped cornflower-blue winter scarf during a snowy Vermont weekend when I was eleven — and I have been designing joyful patterns ever since.

Over the years, I realized how many beginners give up on crocheting simply because traditional patterns feel cryptic or skip the tricky steps. I started LucysCrochet.com to change that: every single pattern and stitch tutorial here is tested from start to finish, written in plain English (standard US terms), and paired with crisp, well-lit step-by-step photos.

When I'm not sketching granny square color palettes or testing amigurumi plushies in my sunlit studio, you'll find me sipping maple oat lattes by Lake Champlain, browsing New England wool mills, or sorting periwinkle, berry, and buttercup yarn cakes in my craft loft.
