Original Crochet and Knit Designs by Julie Yeager. Mostly blankets!
I’m Julie Cassidy Yeager and I have been crocheting and knitting since age 8, taught by my Irish mom in the Bronx, NY. I’m currently obsessed with crocheted afghan squares and blanket designs – always a new idea on the hook. I like to make my patterns easy to read and fun to stitch.
I started designing after winning a contest on the Crochet Me website in 2010 where they asked for reader submissions for crochet squares for their Chain Reaction Afghan Project. Three of my submissions were published in Interweave Crochet Magazine. After that I started publishing my patterns on Ravelry, Etsy, and LoveCrafts and with my Mystery’Ghans I reach new fans every year.
I have been published in Interweave Crochet Magazine, interviewed for Inside Crochet Magazine and several blogs such as Underground Crafter, and am currently a featured crochet designer at Mary Maxim online and catalog. My designs are featured yearly on Mooglyblog's Afghan Square Crochet-Along. I have a blog called http://julieyeagerdesigns.com, and I have over 25,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram. I also recently started a YouTube Channel to give some visual support. http://www.youtube.com/@julieyeagercrochetdesigns
When I’m not crocheting, I’m saving lives as a Registered Nurse and spending time with my supportive husband and daughter.
Thankful to be living my dream as a crochet designer – thanks to all my wonderful fans. <3<3
