Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude®, was taught to crochet at age five by his mom while snowbound in Lake Tahoe. After studying fine art in college and doing the “starving artist” thing for years, he found solace in crocheting for charity while grieving the passing of his mom. It was during this time with the charity group that he became known as The Crochet Dude, which then led to the launch of his wildly popular blog in 2005 - The Crochet Dude Since then Drew has had published numerous patterns in magazines and compilations books, his own full-length books, has appeared as a guest on various t.v. programs, and is currently the crochet expert on the hit PBS show "Knit and Crochet Today". Drew lives in Houston, TX with his cats Chandler and Cleocatra.
Patterns below are divided into three categories: ebooks which are in pdf format; traditional booklets that are printed; and complimentary books that you can download for free in pdf format. Enjoy!
