What are you in the mood to crochet today?

Hello, I’m Kate, the designer behind ItWasYarn, creating crochet patterns from Irpin, Ukraine. Whether you’re looking for a collection to grow with, a new technique to master, or beautifully structured patterns with modern charts, I hope you’ll find your next project here.

Love crochet squares? Start with YEAR, a collection of 12 mix-and-match squares, from delicate lace to bold texture. Every square can be made in any size, mixed with the others, and turned into projects for every season.

Curious about mosaic crochet? Start with the Echo Squares collection and explore the technique one square at a time. Each design gives you a chance to try a different mosaic pattern, while the squares can be mixed and matched into your own projects.

Ready for a stitch adventure? The Scrapy Designs bundle introduces you to eye-catching stitch combinations, bold color, and intricate textures. If they seem a little daunting, start with Blossom or Vibrant Journey. Both include full video tutorials, making them a great place to begin. The best part: patterns from the bundle give those forgotten skeins in your stash a chance to shine.

Value detailed written instructions and clear visual charts? Look for the Design Crochet Edition. Take a look at modular Hue Shift Shawl: it comes with both a printable PDF and an interactive version.
