CROCHET PATTERNS
FOR THE MODERN CROCHETER
Carefully crafted crochet patterns, leaving no guesswork to the maker
About me
Hello and welcome to my crochet world! My name is Ana-Maria, and I’m a self-taught crochet designer from Romania. I work out of my home studio where I live with my husband and our rescue rock dove, Gigi!
I love designing modern colorwork pieces with thoughtfully constructed fabrics. My work focuses particularly on crochet techniques that allow you to work with a single color at a time, with interlocking crochet at the heart of many of my designs.
I’m especially passionate about transforming these richly textured, reversible fabrics into size-inclusive garments and accessories that are made to fit real bodies. All of my garment patterns are carefully graded to fit actual bust circumferences of at least 60 inches (152 cm).
I’m best known for my contemporary approach to interlocking crochet, bold color choices, and clear, meticulous instructions designed to make complex techniques approachable for all skill levels.

CrochetHighway patterns are written with as much detail as possible to make your crocheting experience smooth from start to finish. But if a question comes up along the way, the CrochetHighway Facebook group is the place to be. Ask anything pattern-related, share your works in progress, and show off your finished makes with a community of fellow crochet lovers who get it.
Crochet patterns made to work for you
Every CrochetHighway pattern is size-inclusive, clearly written, and thoroughly tested. Accessory patterns come in up to 7 sizes from toddler to adult XL, while garment patterns are graded for at least 9 sizes with bust measurements up to 70 inches (178 cm), so there is always a size that works for you or the person you are making for. Each pattern goes through a detailed testing process, with tester feedback incorporated before publication, so you can crochet with confidence and no guesswork. Detailed instructions, step-by-step tutorial photos, and plenty of tips and tricks are included throughout, because leaving nothing to chance is at the heart of everything I do.
