Hi!

My name is Jess and I’m the creator behind Sun Sand Stitch. I am so excited to be sharing my Crochet Plant Hanger pattern on this week’s edition of Little Red Knits’ Friday Freebie! You can find the free pattern below, or the inexpensive printable version on Etsy or Ravelry.

I began crocheting in 2016 and started my blog in August 2018. My ideology behind Sun Sand Stitch is to provide simple designs with inspiration from nature and advocating environmental awareness.

When I’m not crocheting, I’m typically doing schoolwork. I’m a college student pursuing a degree in environmental science and biology. Some of my favorite things include my cats, watching the tv show Friends, and any kind of pasta!

You can follow me and my journey on social media, or check out my blog for more patterns and products.

 

Thanks so much for joining and happy crocheting!
