Meet Nicki

I’m Nicki Byrnes, a Certified Crochet Instructor through the Craft Yarn Council and published pattern designer who believes crochet should feel joyful, approachable, and endlessly creative. I love helping people unlock new skills, build confidence with every stitch, and discover the kind of patterns that make you excited to pick up your hook again.

Whether you’re here to shop designs, learn in-person, or dig into step-by-step tutorials, my goal is to make crochet feel like a space where you can explore, play, and make pieces you’re genuinely proud of.

Crochet Patterns

These are some of my favorite designs – quick, easy-to-follow crochet patterns that deliver big results! Hats, scarves, and other cozy pieces, each tested carefully so you can crochet with confidence.

Crochet Lessons

Whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or refining your skills, I offer crochet lessons in Cincinnati, Ohio, and virtually online. Expect clear instruction, hands-on guidance, and plenty of encouragement. Students leave with confidence and a new skill they’re proud of!
