Follow our incredible journey from a simple hobby to a global crochet community of passionate crafters sharing the love of free crochet patterns and handmade tutorials
It all began in a small apartment, with a simple hook and a ball of yarn. Sarah discovered the joy of crochet during a particularly stressful period at her corporate job, finding peace in creating beautiful handmade pieces.
After months of experimenting with crochet tutorials and techniques, Sarah created her first original free crochet pattern - a simple baby blanket for her sister's newborn. The joy on her sister's face changed everything about our crochet community mission.
Word spread quickly among friends and family about Sarah's beautiful crochet patterns. Instead of keeping patterns to herself, Sarah decided to share them online for free. The response from the crochet community was overwhelming.
As demand for free crochet patterns grew, Sarah realized she needed help. Emma joined as a pattern tester and crochet instructor. Maya came aboard to build our growing online crochet community and manage our social media presence.
Through countless conversations with our crochet community, our mission became clear: beautiful, well-designed free crochet patterns should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget or skill level.
We established rigorous testing processes for all our free crochet patterns. Every pattern goes through multiple rounds of testing with crocheters of different skill levels to ensure perfect results for our community.
What started as a small passion project has grown into a global crochet community. We've seen our free crochet patterns translated into multiple languages and shared across generations of crafters worldwide.
Today, Pattern Obsession serves thousands of crocheters worldwide with over 500 free crochet patterns and tutorials. But we're just getting started with new designs, advanced tutorials, and community improvements.
Every time you use one of our free crochet patterns, you become part of our Pattern Obsession story. Whether you're a beginner learning crochet or an experienced crocheter, you're part of what makes this community special.
