Real Stories from Our Community
Mistie's patterns are so well-written and easy to follow! I've made so many beautiful shawls from her designs. The step-by-step instructions make even complex stitches feel manageable. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
I joined my first CAL with American Crochet and I'm hooked! The community is so supportive and encouraging. When I got stuck on a section, I reached out and got help within hours. This is what crafting communities should be!
The CAROH initiative touched my heart. Being able to crochet bonding squares for NICU babies gives such purpose to my crafting. Thank you Mistie for creating this beautiful community where simplicity starts and friendships truly begin!
I've been following American Crochet for years and the quality of free patterns is amazing. Mistie's designs are beautiful, unique, and always come with great instructions. Can't recommend this site enough to fellow crocheters!
