All these patterns were designed and written by Diana from Diana Made It. Under this name, Diana creates fantastic knitting and crochet patterns, which are characterized by their cheerful color palettes. Diana is a bit of a craftivist, so what particularly stands out in Diana’s work is her use of needlecraft to spark conversations about social issues.
For the crochet patterns designed by Diana, 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 Diana?
Hi, I’m Diana! 👋
I knit, crochet, and embroider because I simply can’t sit still without crafting. I started designing patterns when I became chronically ill. Long COVID limits my physical mobility, but my mind keeps generating ideas. So, I’ve begun turning my musings into patterns.
I’m an idealist, and sustainability is important to me. I believe we should not only take good care of our planet but also look out for one another and stand up for each other. This philosophy is reflected in my designs and the yarn I choose to use.
I create cheerful, playful designs with an underlying message: "I see you", often inspired by the "chronic complications" of life. And let’s be honest: who doesn’t have those? Whether or not you face physical or mental challenges, life can be a bit of a mess. But it’s also incredibly worthwhile!
The name "Diana Made It" is, of course, intended as a self-fulfilling prophecy. And a bit of a cheeky, double-meaning joke! 😉
