AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns Presents Crochet Designer,
Heather Tucker
How old were you when you first learned to knit or crochet? Heather Tucker, today’s featured designer, learned how to crochet when she was only four years old from her grandmother. Because she learned so young, Heather never really learned how to hold her hook the “right” way. But lucky for us, this hasn’t hindered her crochet ability in the least! Her crochet skills developed quickly, and so did the complexity of her work. This just goes to prove that a little bit of hard work and a whole lot of practice are equally, if not more important, than having the “right” technique.
Heather Tucker is one of the featured designers on AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns. Heather tends to think mathematically, and this has played a large role in the afghan pattern she designs. All of her patterns include elements of shape, angle, texture, and symmetry.
Though she’s been creating her own afghan patterns for years, only recently has Heather taken an interest in writing them down and sharing with others. Sharing her designs brings Heather plenty of of satisfaction, but what she truly enjoys is learning that someone has taken one of her designs and built upon it, creating something new.
Visit Heather’s blog, Mama’s Stitchery Projects, to take a look at all of Heather’s original crochet and knitting tutorials. We’re sure you’ll love what she’s created, and you’ll definitely find inspiration for your next yarn project!
Below are just a few of the fantastic crochet afghan patterns from Heather that you can find on AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns. Enjoy!

How do I get the pattern for the butterfly dishcloth?
I love butterflies and this is beautiful!
I was also very young when I was taught to crochet. I was five years old. I was setting by my grandmother watching her crochet a beautiful pineapple table cloth and and I was amazed at how a plain string could be changed into something so beautiful. I started asking questions and my grandmother would show me and answer my questions. She asked me if I would like to learn and of course I was thrilled. She gave me a size K crochet hook and some yarn and showed me how to chain. That was all it took. I have been crocheting basically all my life.
I was a preteen when my mother taught me how to knit and not long after I taught myself how to crochet. Years later I learned how to hold my hooks correctly, giving me looser stitches and better gauges. I love looking at others patterns as inspiration and to learn new stitches, but usually end up designing something new. Sorry but I have not yet learned to write my creations down as I do them, but have started trying… will let you know when I finally do.
