I have been a fan of crochet and crochet designs since I was a young designer in Cleveland, Ohio. I was crochet before crochet became a cool phenomenon on the internet.
I am thankful for all the talented crochet artisans out there whom I have found and bought from on Etsy!
It was my grandma Julia Nagy who first taught me how to crochet. Yes, grandmothers can be thanked for first popularizing crochet and crochet designs. Thank you grandma!

Grandmothers popularized crochet!
Grandmothers certainly did their share to popularize crochet designs.
Today, crochet designs in so many items is quite trendy! I'm happy to say that it is a bit of a resurgence of a by-gone era. Now is your opportunity to get in on the craze for handcrafted wearable art!
I'm pretty sure most people know what crochet is; but, just in case, I've included more info in my article to quickly get you up to speed on this wonderful handcrafted art!

When I visited her crocheted bags lens, I was interested in getting some for myself to give as gifts. I asked her if she could do them in teal. She found the perfect color for a Jaguars fan! Linda crocheted 6 large earth-friendly shopping bags and one cute smaller bag with pretty dragonfly charms.
The crochet detailing is quite nice for the unbelievable price of under $70.00.
I spotted this on Plazatoo, but I’ve seen many a crochet or hand-crocheted handbag on the net including a cutie by Juicy Couture.
These are pretty cool.
These are from the Ben-Amun brand by Isaac Manevitz and would only set you back about $60.00 for a bit of hand-crocheted jewelry.
I spotted it at the Karina Matias Accessories website, but if you look on Etsy, you probably will find many indie designers sporting handcrafted crochet.
This is a very cute and adorable crochet bracelet in beige color. The bracelet is adorned with cetin, flower and wood color beads. Adjustable cord to tie in the back.
It’s 100% cotton. I found it at Echo Design. Adorn your neck with Echo’s fresh take on jewelry.
You can comfortably wear this lightweight, adjustable crochet necklace even on the hottest summer days. On sale at only $28.00!
I love all her cute tops.
This is a pretty lace overlay pencil skirt with side bows and cotton crochet lace over silk with satin bow ties. It’s lined. Dry Clean Only.
It was $253.00 and was on sale for $151.00 from Julie Haus.
Think about all those hours that go into hand-crocheting an article of clothing like this fashionable skirt! Well worth the investment.
As is always the case, God is indeed in the details with this season’s creations of ethnic-inspired embroidery, crochet, and lacy insets.
I found this beautiful feminine top over at Revolve Clothing. You can find tops that are entirely hand-crocheted, or have crochet trim; it makes for a piece of wearable art!
Yes, Diane von Furstenberg continues to produce classic collectible clothing like this beauty.
I originally spotted this for $425.00 at net-a-porter, but I believe it sold right out.
It’s a gold crochet knit with keyhole opening on back. It has a scalloped trim, a visible nude lining and falls above the knee.
I originally spotted these at Etsy, but they appear to have sold like gangbusters.
But, you know what? IMHO, this is just the type of item to learn how to crochet with. I know you can do it!
I spotted this at World Market for only $9.99!
It’s the Java Pillow with Crocheted Flower. Decorative flower power is back in a big way this spring. Rich, java brown pillow showcases crocheted flowers in a complementary red clay and orange. 100% cotton with poly fill. Spot clean.
Crochet lampshade - This is another item that would be a cool crafting project.
It’s a crochet bell lampshade that I spotted in white and green.
I found it at Bytrico, a Japanese site.
I'm thinking you could use that crochet pattern and also use it to make a wine bottle cover or perhaps a toilet paper roll cover?
If you haven’t heard of Anne-Claire Petit, you owe it to yourself to check out her beautiful hand-crochet designs.
They out to be collectibles! This is a bunny rabbit loop rattle with a hidden bell inside.
I found it at Stork Gifts on sale at £12.99. Each time I look at this crochet rattle, I want one!!
It’s crochet, it’s a light, it’s a carpet … WOW! Can I buy one???
The concept of the Light Carpet was born from a simple idea: to combine a lamp and a carpet. The result is a light rope inside of a crocheted case made with any kind of suitable thread. Hyrkäs is constantly experimenting with different materials. But the result is always the same: a carpet that gives light.
Johanna Hyrkäs is a Finnish architect and artist. She is part of Anteeksi (which means “excuse me” or “I’m sorry” in Finnish) design collective.
It’s the crochet table by Marcel Wanders, designed originally in 2001 and manufactured by Moooi. It looks just like crochet!
It’s cotton and epoxy.
I’ve seen it at a few sites such as Generate, Moss Online, Twenty Twenty One, and Vivid Rotterdam.
If you got to have one, you’ll need to allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. It comes in two sizes: 30 x 30 x 30 cm (h x w x d) Euro $790; 30 x 60 x 30 cm (h x w x d) Euro $1300.
