Welcome to KaperCrochet!
Here you will find my original patterns, various projects, and some tips and techniques. My designs are mostly animal or earth-themed, and I love to create things that are cute and simple, but very recognizable. Take a look around and I’ll spin you a yarn (hehe) about my adventures in crochet and knitting!
