I learned to crochet about ten years ago and found that I couldn’t help but change every pattern that I made.

I have a complete inability to follow any kind of instruction (just ask my husband) and so I began to design my own patterns instead of changing others!

In 2012 I launched HanJan Crochet and started to publish my patterns and was lucky enough to be featured in some international publications such as Mollie Makes and Simply Crochet (who I am still proud to work with).

From there I launched my blog and in recent years have loved being able to share my patterns, tutorials and articles here on hanjancrochet.com with you all.
