How to Crochet the Crab Stitch

Oh hey! I'm Allie!

Hi! I'm Allie, the owner, designer and maker behind Stuck on You Crochet! I am mama to four cute little kiddos and wife to one awesome husband. I began crocheting as a creative outlet while in graduate school. I started slowly and really "got hooked" after having my first son. Three additional kids later and multiple attempts at making 'all the things,' I've branched out into pattern designing. I enjoy making items for children including hats, clothes, blankets, toys, nursery decor and more! I love designing new patterns and teaching others how to master making beautiful things! You can find me with baskets of WIPs strewn about the house and a list of "future projects" a mile long!
