Hi, I’m Emma!

Welcome to The Crochet Swirl! I’m Emma, a self-taught crochet designer from the UK. I love creating colourful blankets, granny squares and modern motifs that are relaxing to make and enjoyable to use every day.

Whether you’re making your very first Granny Square or planning your next crochet blanket, you’ll find plenty of free patterns, colour inspiration and guidance here.

My Crochet Story

Around ten years ago I picked up a crochet hook simply looking for a creative hobby.

I quickly became addicted to crochet, and before long I was experimenting with layouts, designing my own blankets and discovering the joy of creating something completely unique.

What began as a relaxing pastime has grown into The Crochet Swirl, where I now share free crochet patterns, tutorials and colour inspiration with crocheters around the world.
