Patterns, Classes, and Community

not your grandmother’s
crochet – but it is my nonna’s!

Learning to crochet at my Nonna’s knee, I learned to love to make fabrics full of Italian lace. Her mantra was “fino, fino fino” or “fine, fine, fine”. I learned that in order to make the fine fabrics and laces from Italy you need to go to lightweight yarns.

That is what I specialize in – using lace to fingering weight yarns and making old-world techniques into modern, classic, and gorgeous crochet.

New from Karen

Consequential

Made from side to side with a deep lace edge, it is long and cozy – perfect to wrap up in. Consequential is so versatile that you will want to wear it everywhere. Make this simply elegant shawl in different colors, lengths, and yarn weights for just about every occasion.

my promise

Crochet doesn’t have to be a struggle. At Karen Whooley Designs, I understand that well-written patterns that are error-free AND have video and live support when you need them can make all the difference between a favorite garment you will wear AND the blanket that you never finish because you just “can’t get it”.

Whether you are creating for yourself or for your family and friends, I pride myself in providing you with a crochet experience that brings fun, smiles, and so much joy!

Southwest Spice

Southwest Spice is a fun pattern to work up and can be worn in multiple ways! Made with a unique construction of a lacy scarf, then adding a three-sided edging, you will find this pattern keeps you entertained while making it.

Wear it as a shawl – or a wide scarf. Or even wrap it several times to make a cowl. It’s perfect for pearls and jeans or an evening on the town. The options are endless!
