All these patterns were designed by Astrid from Craftsfrom.me. Under this name, Astrid creates delightful crochet patterns. She's already made a fantastic collection of cacti, and is now focusing on granny squares.
For each of the patterns designed by Astrid, I have selected matching yarns from my own collection, allowing you to order the necessary materials at the same time if you wish.
Who is Astrid?
Hi, my name is Astrid! 👋
I enjoy a wide variety of creative activities, but for me, crochet is the most relaxing one.
I learned how to crochet as a child in primary school. Furthermore, I come from a family with a long tradition of needlework. However, crochet wasn’t my favorite hobby at first. The crocheted bikini I wore into the water turned out not to be such a great success! 🙁
That changed later on. I fell head over heels for all the delightful amigurumi patterns. My two adult children are a bit too old for them now, but I’ve crocheted plenty of gifts for newborns.
In addition to many other creative pursuits, I’ve also taught some of my students how to crochet during my time as a teacher. It’s such a fun thing to do!
Eventually, I started designing my own patterns. Lately, I’ve been focusing mostly on cacti. Some of these can be found on Ravelry, since those patterns haven’t been tested and may still contain a few errors, they are available as free downloads.
The patterns you see above, however, have definitely been tested! 😉
If you’d like to see more of my work, feel free to follow me on Instagram. I’d love that!
