If you’re looking for my crochet hooks, I’m taking a short break to recover from shoulder surgery. My name is Michelle Holtby, the name/designer/crocheter behind Hooked by Holtby. I have been crocheting for as long as I can remember and I am excited to be turning a favorite hobby into a "Jobby". I started out selling the items that I made and that has turned into me designing my own patterns as we

ll. Becoming a designer of patterns has been a dream of mine and now I'm livin' the dream. You can find all of my patterns on Ravelry, Etsy and Hooked by Holtby.com. Visit any of my shops and look around, I am adding new designs all the time.

I’m FINALLY, getting back to crocheting, still limited times, but I’M BACK!!🎉🎉🎉

I’m actually prepping for my very first farmers market coming up in July, so I’m a little excited but nervous at the same time, it’s the unexpected and not knowing 🫣But, I’m stepping in with both feet.

One of the many items I will have in my booth is this finished 😍. I’ve lined it with a canvas tote and added leather straps as a modification and I must say, I’m hooked (pun intended😃)

You can snag the pattern in my shop and make one for yourself or if you’re also prepping for a market, I think these will sell well.

Now back to prepping, just wanted to say hi and show you this darling .

Happy Monday, friends ✨

Just a little update on my hook-making journey—turns out I can only do about 5 at a time before my shoulder says “that’s enough for today” 🫣

I’m slowly but surely working through your orders, putting so much care into each one to make them as beautiful as possible. I’m beyond grateful for every single order that’s come in 💛

Thank you for your patience, your support, and your kindness—it truly means everything to me. Seriously… THANK YOU!! 🫶

Hi! I’m Michelle—the face and designer behind Hooked by Holtby.

I’m a professional crochet and knit fiber artist specializing in handmade pieces, including custom designer crochet hooks and original crochet/knit patterns. My favorite things to create are beanies, sun hats, and headbands, but the heart of my business is designing fun, unique crochet hooks—especially my signature Crayon-style handles.

You can find all of my patterns and made-to-order hooks in my Etsy shop, as well as my crochet patterns on Ravelry.

I also have a separate Instagram page, , where I share finished handmade items that are available in my Etsy shop—many of which are ready to ship.

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, so welcome! I’d love to connect—because fellow makers really are the best. 🥰 I’d love to hear from you, Introduce yourself in the comments.
