The person behind every pattern

I am a passionate crocheter, a single mum, and the designer of every stacking toy pattern on this website. I started crocheting because I loved it. I kept going because it gave me something I did not expect: purpose, an income, and a community of the warmest people I have ever met.

With love and yarn, Grace

18,340+crocheters have bought my patterns since July 2023

29premium stacking toy patterns in the bundle

Years of experiencedesigning, testing and photographing every round

My stacking toy patterns started on Etsy, where they hold a 4.9 star rating from 246 reviews. Every pattern I publish goes through dozens of hours of testing, rewriting and photographing — because when you sit down with your hook and your yarn, you deserve instructions that actually work.

What makes my patterns different

📷

A photo for every stage

Not one hero shot at the end. Full-colour photographs at every round, so you can always see exactly what your work should look like in your hands.

🧵

Written for real beginners

I write them the way I wish someone had written them for me. Clear steps, no assumptions about what you already know, and nothing skipped because it seemed obvious.

💬

I answer every message

Not a support desk, not a bot. Me. If you get stuck on a round, write to me and I will talk you through it, usually the same day.

The Ultimate Bundle

This website is home to my Ultimate Bundle — 29 premium crochet stacking toy patterns, including Christmas characters, Easter cuties and cartoon favourites. It is available here and nowhere else, not even in my Etsy shop. Every pattern is a PDF instant download: no waiting, no shipping, yours to keep forever. See the 29-pattern bundle

Why I do this

Every pattern I sell pays for something ordinary and important — school shoes, a food shop, a quiet week where I do not have to worry. When you buy from me you are not funding a faceless brand. You are buying from one woman at a kitchen table who counted every stitch in that pattern herself. And the part I did not expect: the photographs you send me. A grandmother making a Pooh for a grandchild she has not met yet. A beginner finishing her very first amigurumi. A woman building a small market business out of toys she made from my patterns. Those messages are the best part of my day, every single day.

Talk to me

I personally read and reply to every message sent to support@icancrochet.com, usually within 24 hours. If you get stuck on a stitch, have a question before you buy, or just want to show me what you made — my inbox is always open. There is also a contact form if that is easier. Thank you for being here. Whether you are making a gift for a grandchild, building a small business selling finished toys, or simply treating yourself to a project you will love — I am glad you found me.
