About Harper's Crochet
Hi, I'm Harper Sullivan!
Welcome to Harper's Crochet! I'm a crochet pattern designer, craft instructor, and lifelong yarn collector based in Charleston, South Carolina. My mom taught me how to crochet woven cotton market totes and textured dishcloths in Charleston when I was twelve — sparking a lifelong love for botanical colors and modern texture.
Over the years, I realized how many beginners give up on crocheting simply because traditional patterns feel cryptic or skip the tricky steps. I started HarpersCrochet.com to change that: every single pattern and stitch tutorial here is tested from start to finish, written in plain English (standard US terms), and paired with crisp, well-lit step-by-step photos.
When I'm not sketching granny square color palettes or testing amigurumi plushies in my sunlit studio, you'll find me tending my windowsill herb garden, sipping iced rosemary lemonade, or testing textured moss and basketweave stitches with natural linen-cotton blends.
