I am Nina, the maker, designer, photographer, and yarn-buyer behind Niwolu Creations.
I picked up my first crochet hook when I was expecting my first child 12 years ago and never quite put it down again. What started as a way to wind down has grown into a tiny business, a pattern library, boxes of finished items I can’t make myself part with, and this colorful little corner of the internet.
I share some of the patterns I design here for free because crochet brought me so much joy and calm — and I want it to do the same for you. If you’d like to support what I do, browse my patterns on Ribblr and Ravelry, follow me on Instagram or Youtube, or buy me a coffee on Ko-fi.
Have a question, a project to share, or a request for a future pattern? Find me on Instagram or YouTube— I’d love to hear from you.
