About ByKaterina

Hello, I’m Catalina, the crochet and knitting designer behind ByKaterina.

I learned to crochet as a child and rediscovered my love for yarn and garment-making years later. Since then, I have designed and published an extensive collection of crochet and knitting patterns, with a particular focus on wearable garments, thoughtful construction and comfortable fit.

Through ByKaterina, I want to help makers understand not only how to follow a pattern, but also how a garment is constructed and how it can be adapted to suit their own style.

On this website, you will find:

  • Crochet and knitting patterns
  • Garment tutorials and educational articles
  • Construction and fitting guidance
  • Video tutorials and creative inspiration
  • Resources designed to help you become a more confident maker

Thank you for visiting and supporting my work.
