Alphs Crafts Every piece begins with a stitch. This is a little corner where I’ll be sharing handmade pieces I created one crochet stitch at a time. Crafted with patience.

Made with purpose.

The first three.

After finishing my first cardigan, I knew I wasn’t done.

There was still so much I didn’t know—and, looking back, that was part of the fun. Each new project became another opportunity to try something different, make mistakes, solve problems, and understand the craft a little better.

First came the navy blue and cream cardigan. Then the rust-orange summer shirt. Then the neutral mesh shirt.

Three garments. Three very different projects. And with each one, I became a little more confident with my hook and a little more curious about what I could make next.

What I love most about looking back at these early pieces isn’t whether every stitch was perfect. It’s remembering the excitement of making something with my own hands—and realizing that I wanted to keep going.

These were only the beginning.

And the journey continues, one stitch at a time.

This is where it began.

In 2020, during the pandemic, I decided to make my first crocheted garment — this navy blue and cream vertically striped cardigan.

I used Monaco Raylon thread, without really knowing much yet about yarn weight, fiber, drape, or how these could affect a finished garment. I didn’t even know about gauge. I simply found a paid pattern I liked, followed it as best I could, and kept crocheting.

Looking at it now, there are certainly things I would do differently. But that’s also what makes this piece special to me.

It reminds me that you don’t have to know everything before you begin. Sometimes you begin with what you know, learn with every stitch, and discover where the craft takes you.

My first garment. The first of many lessons. And one of the beginnings of Alph’s Crafts.

From little squares to something made to carry a little Christmas joy. 🎄🧶

It started with one granny square, then another… and another. Slowly, the pieces came together: joined, shaped, finished with handles, and finally became the bag I had pictured in my mind.

There’s something I love about crochet: you get to witness an idea becoming real, one stitch at a time. Not always perfectly, not always quickly, but patiently and by hand.

And here it is—my Christmas-motif granny square tote, from a pile of colorful squares to a finished piece ready for the season.

Made slowly. Made joyfully. Made by hand.

Creating something from these Christmas-inspired granny squares. Can you guess it?

Because it is raining hard outside and I have nothing else to do, it is time to pick up the hook and yarn to create something new.
