Hi I’m britt
I am a Black Tunisian crochet and crochet designer. I started crocheting in 2015 as an attempt to make a blanket while pregnant with my daughter. I bought a book, a hook & some thick yarn. But for the life of me, I couldn’t do it. Instead, I did a classic Britt move. I rage quit and declared myself unable to do anything artistic and moved on.
Weeks later, I tried again and it just clicked! I have been crocheting nearly every day since.
Before becoming a crochet pattern designer, I was a serial crochet pattern tester and sample maker. Those experiences gave me the confidence to start publishing my crochet patterns.
Since becoming a crochet designer in 2020, I have specialized in creating advanced crochet patterns that are easy to memorize and capture the joy of crochet. I am passionate about elevating the perception of crochet as an art form and creating drape that would make any knitter jealous.
My designs are often easy to memorize after the first few rows, making them perfect for crocheting in front of your favorite TV show.
I am deeply committed to uplifting and supporting Black, indigenous, people of color makers and designers in the fiber industry. To highlight BIPOC makers, I created The Makers of Color Collective, a directory of makers in the fiber industry that identifies as a person of color. It is important to me that everyone can find someone who looks like them enjoying their favorite hobby.
When I’m not crocheting, I am a stay-at-home mom to three young children in the Pacific Northwest. They keep me grounded and force me to slow down in this fast-paced life.
Looking to support the work that I do in the community? Consider buying me a Kofi. All donations support the my mission to uplift BIPOC makers and maintain the Makers of Color Directory.
