Ashlee Brotzell

Ashlee’s vision is to create a collection of crochet patterns to suit every occasion. She uses her fanciful and fun designs to inspire crocheters into finding their own creative outlet.
Ashlee has been crocheting since she was 8 when her grandma taught her one stitch (the double crochet). For years she created ponchos, bags, and blankets using only that one stitch. As a new mom she decided to finally learn how to read a pattern in an attempt to find some rejuvenating creative-time.
She quickly dived into a technique called interlocking crochet because she loved the idea that she could turn her drawings into a crocheted blanket! She hadn’t intended to turn her hobby into a full-time business, but 5 years later she is glad she took that first step.
She now offers her artwork as a fully written crochet pattern and chart for both the interlocking crochet technique and the overlay mosaic crochet technique. She has created video tutorials and hosted crochet-a-longs in an effort to spread the creative joy to any who are interested.
Her designs tend to be whimsical and fun but she also takes inspiration from traditional quilting patterns and realistic nature scenes.
