Hello and welcome! I’m Clare, and this is 53stitches – a crochet blog featuring free tutorials and patterns for some of my favourite characters from movies, anime, games, books, etc.
I started crocheting in the summer of 2013, after seeing some incredible knitted dolls on Tumblr and then falling into the endless pit of amigurumi on Pinterest. The first few items I made were inside out and crocheted entirely in the back loop, since I didn’t know any better. Despite the misshappen mess those first projects were it’s such a great feeling to hold a finished doll in your hand that you made yourself, I was hooked (pun intended).
I opened an Etsy store a few months later, one thing led to another, and here we are some 5 years later!
This blog is a chance for me to give back to the wonderful community that provided so many free patterns and tutorials when I was starting out. So enjoy, and thank-you for your support!
