What crochet designers do you trust the most!? Feedspot is a platform that regulates the popularity, overall operations, content building and metric analytics that go unseen.
To be frank, 2024 has been a Mr Toad Wild Ride of navigating where a crochet host, channel and blog fits into the mix. With the introduction of AI, the challenge we have never faced is the front door. I have been through very dark and low places in most of 2024, trying to figure out what is next. I still don't know the answer in 2025.
I had a personal mission to design more. In 2024, I created 102 patterns that have been published. I didn't have a goal; I knew I had to develop more and push myself to work alongside Yarnspirations. I also needed to create my pathway to prove that I am more than just a teacher; I understand design and how to do it.
Honestly, this morning is the first time I have counted, and I am pretty surprised, to be honest. I don't feel pride in that number as it's never enough. That's myself beating myself up as I am the worst critic. It's probably why I hurt my hands in 2024, as I am teaching Yarnspirations projects and developing and creating my whole samples of projects. Many projects I have designed also have crochet diagram support, which I do myself as well. The average crocheter only makes 3 to 7 projects a year.
Crochet Bloggers
Bloggers are a special type of human. Partially nuts I am sure but also the sense of giving over our own lives to enrich others. Though I have no kids, I feel like a piece of me will be left behind. People learning crochet from my content today will eventually move on into another generation where the starting point, myself and other crochet bloggers, are responsible for the initial stages. Still, our names will be lost in time.

5th Place
Bethany at Whistle and Ivy has an eye for detail. Her photography is a chef's kiss. Her blog takes me on a journey through soothing and doable projects. You must see her blog to get what I feel while surfing through it. There are so many great ideas, but not enough time.
4th Place
Kara, like other blogs, the photography is beautiful, with a good navigation blog to find your way through. Easy to read with patterns that make me want to try something new or experience an existing pattern with a new type of yarn. Very inspirational and well put together.
The final three are all Yarnspirations Ambassadors. Speaking firsthand, there is an expectation to produce content such as tutorials, patterns and general knowledge. Based in North America, it's one of the leading yarn producers under the labels of Bernat, Caron, Lily Sugar'n Cream, Patons and Red Heart. The Crochet Crowd has worked indirectly for Yarnspirations since 2010, and it officially became a Stitch Ambassador in 2015. The goal is simple. Inspire.
Though the yarn ambassadors are sponsored, it's essential for Yarnspirations that each of them maintain their branding and voice.
3rd Place
Sarah works out of a little studio in her home. She has this sickening ability to take something so ordinary and increase it, which makes me itching for more. She's family-oriented, and it comes across in her ideas of providing cute things for her kids and more. You can get in on it by following along with her. She doesn't let the grass grow under her feet!
2nd Place
Tamara, owner of Moogly, is one of the industry's most organized and diverse creators. Involved with creating patterns, leader in the crochet field behind the scenes, and much more. Sensible and doable projects to inspire you. An excellent blog to take you from your everyday life and put you on an adventure.

The Crochet Crowd
Mikey, aka me, has been around since 2008. I realized I didn't fit the mould and developed a community so the art of crochet could be the focal point. The goal is simple: Inspire, Create and Celebrate. I'm always looking for ways to improve. Life is not a straight line, and I'm not straight either. Go figure.
Thank you for checking out all of our blogs. We appreciate your attention and hope that each one of us, including many others, didn't get into the top 20. The remaining of the list is here. Top 100 Crochet Blogs.
Together with the community, let's have fun in 2025.

Jana Gale Connell says
Mikey You should not be surprised at all! Your blog has been a go-to for me for a very long time.
I love the way you write and you never fail to make me laugh. I think your blog is wonderful,
but I can tell these comments need a word-wrap because your writing above and these comments
are disappearing on the right hand gutter.
Congratulations for being #1!!! Well earned and deserved!!
With love from California, Your very long time fan (even before you met Dan),
Jana

Well done. While us that follow you on YouTube know of your wonderful creativity, it is also nice to be recognized and honored by your peers.

I'm so glad to see this today. I bookmarked those blogs for future reference and I am proud to say that I do know quite a few of those that are listed here. You are such a great teacher and I do love all of your videos. It is also great to be able to look to the written pattern alongside with your diagrams as I follow your patterns on YouTube.
Love you Mickael Sellick and love The Crochet Crowd.

Yay!! Congratulations Michael! You are very deserving of this spot. While I follow and enjoy several of those listed (some I've never heard of.) As a relatively new crocheter, there's plenty of room in the yarn arts community, but I find myself always coming back to you and the Crochet Crowd! Again, Congratulations!
