Why a list?

Before becoming a crochet designer I worked as a freelance Illustrator.

In the Illustration industry there are many directories to find any kind of illustrator you want. There are free, paid, online, printed, non-juried, and juried directories.

If you need an illustrator it is very easy to get your hands on a list of thousands of them. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out no such list existed for crochet garment designers. I’m used to having this information at my fingertips and it was very frustrating not having it for crochet design.

The guide can be downloaded on any device.  A tablet featuring an alphabetic page from the ultimate directory of crochet garment designers.  The tablet is on a step with a backpack, coffee cup and leaves.

Get Organized

I like to be very organized with my information (not so much with my closets but that’s another story. Ha-ha.) At first I went through Instagram and tried to find all the crochet designers who design crochet sweater patterns and follow them. But this was not a good system because there is not way to make a group of people you are following on Instagram.

So then I started saving one of each indie crochet designer’s garments in a save folder on Instagram to keep track of all the crochet Instagram accounts. But it would take forever to go through the list of 100+ designers and try to see what each designer was working on. Next I tried Feedly to keep track of designer’s crochet blogs. But it was too complicated to add each designer and then have to go through Feedly and then their blog to get to their shops.

That’s when I opened up Google Docs and made this pdf list. I found it very handy to have all the designers I had found alphabetically listed with their links right next to their business names.

This way I could quickly look up any designer, click on their sites, shops, or crochet Instagram accounts and stay up to date on their news and new crochet pattern releases.

The list quickly became an essential asset for me. And that’s when it occurred to me that other crocheters would also enjoy the list.

So here it is. I gussied it up a bit, illustrated a pretty cover for it, and made it into a free pdf download for you. It’s a gift from me to you and the rest of the crochet industry!

I hope you enjoy having all your favorite crochet designers organized and keeping up to date on all new pattern releases.

And I bet you are going to find some new inspiring designers on the list too! I love that feeling of discovering a new talented designer. Don’t you?

Enjoy the list and happy crocheting!
