Well, Laura Killoran, of www.croshaydesign.com, and I have finally done it…! After talking about it for years, we’ve decided to collaborate. I couldn’t be happier, and I’m certain that everyone who loves to crochet will have more and more to excited about. Now that we are helping each other out, we’ll have more patterns, tutorials and online classes than ever before.

The patterns by Laura Killoran, available at Croshay Design, are TOP-notch.
You know you want one!
Go ahead - ask me why… ask me, “Josi, what makes Laura’s patterns so special? Why are Croshay Design hat patterns better than everyone else’s?”
My response: Every detail has been thought-out. For instance - the seams on these hats are the best around. Laura carefully changes the instructions round-to-round to ensure the most “seamless seam” possible. That, alone, is the difference between a great-looking hat, and one that looks handmade-in-the-bad-way.
But that’s not all. Croshay Design patterns make the absolute most of the recommended materials. I’ve been very vocal about my dislike for acrylics yarns. Laura’s designs give me a new appreciation for the fiber. She makes the most of it’s texture - creating hats with just enough structure to be fashionable, yet still be comfortably wearable and absolutely washable.
For this collaboration, I did the photography, layout and editing. Check out her spiffy new website, too - I custom-coded a shopping cart and automatic download system.
