Hi, I’m Hope.

I’m a crochet designer and the person behind no_panic_crafts_.

I create crochet patterns and supporting videos so you can make the projects yourself. So far, I’ve designed 18 patterns, and apparently, I can’t stop.

I was born in Russia and now live in the UK. My background includes Psychology, Web Design, and Programming, which probably explains why I enjoy both the creative and technical aspects of pattern-making.

no_panic_crafts_ started as an attempt to find some peace and calm and to overcome anxiety. Over time, it grew into a brand — something I hope can help others slow down, focus, and create, just as it does for me.

When I’m not crocheting, I do HIIT 3 times a week, yoga for strength, and at least a 30-minute walk every day. I wouldn’t do all this… but without it, my body slowly falls apart. I love stand-up, retro things, music, and rewatching the same TV shows forever. Coffee, good food, red wine, oversized clothes, and endless earrings are essentials. I used to love traveling, but I’m not sure about it anymore. Still in love with the sea, though.

I hope you find something here that inspires you to pick up your hook, calm your nerves, and enjoy the process. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Happy crocheting!

With love,
Hope

P.S. I also make handmade crochet items and take commissions on some of my designs. If you’d like something custom, feel free to message me!
