Some of you may not know I do not design the patterns for my creations. I am not that smart. I do purposely purchase probably 98% of the patterns I use from crochet designers.
One reason I do this is it gives me a higher chance of not having Repeat items of other sellers in my small area. As many creators use free patterns. Which is totally fine. Some of my favourite patterns are free patterns. 
Another reason I do this is that if I do have questions about a pattern that I just can’t figure it out , purchasing the pattern gives me the ability to contact the designer and ask them questions. 
So I thought I would take the time today to show some of the work I have done from my top 3 favourite crochet designers. I have 4-3 inch binders full of patterns that I have printed most of them I have purchased. A good percentage of these patterns are from two of the crochet designers: Crochet Grove, and All from Jade. And I purchased a physical crochet book from the designer Momma Made Minis. 
All three of these designers have beautifully written patterns. Very easy to understand, with lots of pictures, and both actually include links to YouTube videos for parts that may be tricky.  I still have so many printed patterns from these three designers that I have not tried yet and I look forward to creating them. 
I will see if I can find a way to tag the designers but my top 3 favourites in no particular order are:
The Crochet Grove
Mama Made Minis
All From Jade
