Welcome to Crochet A to Z (https://crochetatoz.com/), your friendly home for learning to crochet from the very first stitch to your favorite finished project. Whether you are picking up a hook for the first time or looking for your next cozy pattern, our mission is to make crochet simple, joyful and free for everyone.
Meet the Founder & Author: Sarah Mitchell
Sarah Mitchell is a passionate crocheter, pattern designer and yarn lover who has been hooking for more than a decade. She learned her first chain stitch from her grandmother at the kitchen table, and since then she has made hundreds of blankets, amigurumi toys, baby gifts and wearables for family, friends and local charities.
As a maker and teacher at heart, Sarah specializes in:
- Beginner-friendly tutorials that break every stitch down into clear, simple steps with photos.
- Tested free patterns for amigurumi, blankets, clothing, home décor and seasonal projects.
- Honest yarn and tool guides that help you choose the right hook, yarn weight and accessories without wasting money.
Sarah created Crochet A to Z because she remembers how confusing crochet felt in the beginning: unclear abbreviations, patterns that skipped steps, and US vs UK terms that never matched. This blog is the resource she wished she had when she started, one place where you can learn everything from A to Z, at your own pace.
