I’ve been crocheting for 30 plus years. I used to sell my crochet items at craft fairs and online. After teaching several friends to crochet, I learned my passion was teaching and designing patterns. That’s why I created Looped and Knotted, a place to learn how to crochet. Starting with the basics and then more advanced projects. I’m here to guide you through every Loop and Knot!
Thank you for showing me how to start and what supplies to get. It is very easy to understand as well. Can’t wait for further lessons.
Clarrisa, Thank you! I’m so glad you found it easy to follow. That was my goal!
I found your instructions easy to understand. With a little practice I was able to make the chain. Thank you so much for the help! Connie
Thank you, Connie

Hi Dawn,
The next lesson will be launching soon. Unfortunately, I was called back to my 9-5 from the Covid closure sooner then I expected. I’m filming and editing the videos now and hope to launch in a few weeks!
Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to teach people this fun to do craft. I enjoyed your videos very much.
