About Kate


Hi!
Welcome!

My name is actually Inge, not Kate. Kate is my grandmother’s name, and it sounds better with Cozy Crochet. Also, my own name is difficult to pronounce in English, so here I am, Kate. I am from the Netherlands, born in 1990 and living with my boyfriend and son.

I love dachshunds and, of course, crochet.

I've been crocheting since 2019. The first project I made was a plushie for my newborn niece. It was a pink bunny. There were a lot of mistakes, but I was very proud, and the baby didn't mind.

I am a primary school teacher. When I get home, I try to find time for baking, reading, and crocheting. I also like to paint my nails in wild colours, patterns, and with a lot of glitter. But honestly, I don't have the time anymore.

On my blog, you'll find reviews, free C2C patterns, and free original crochet patterns written and designed by me. Enjoy!

Free Crochet Pattern No-Sew Cauldron of Potions Pincushion

Free Crochet Pattern  No-Sew Cauldron of Potions Pincushion About this Pattern Years ago, I crocheted a little coffee cup to use as a pincushion. It actually turned out pretty cute and I was quite happy with it, but it doesn't really fit me. I don't even drink coffee! And to be honest, there is something else that has been secretly annoying me all these years: I sewed the handle of the cup on the wrong way around.  Now that I write my own crochet patterns, I decided it was time to make a new pincushion. One that suits me a little better. I love cozy things, but I also have a soft spot for spooky things. And since Halloween is almost here, the idea for a little witch's cauldron was born. With bright colours inside, because I wanted it to look both poisonous and cheerful at the same time. You can change the colours to make another type of potion. Maybe a Love Potion with three pink yarns? Add a little sparkle with a sparkly yarn? If you find the three-colour spiral too fiddly...

About this Pattern: Since I was very young, my family has always had dachshunds. We had two when I was growing up, and the second one was quite a character. She was incredibly fast and seemed to chew through absolutely everything. I still remember waking up one morning to find her running around the living room after she had chewed her way through her dog bed. My parents still have one dachshund today. Sadly, our other dachshund passed away three months ago. They have decided not to get another one, as they would like to travel more. I don't have any pets myself. I would love to have a dog, but with both of us working, we don't feel it's the right choice for us at the moment. And, to be completely honest, my boyfriend isn...
