You’ve arrived at the annual NatCroMo Designer Blog Tour 2022! It’s a virtual celebration of National Crochet Month with new blog content daily throughout March, including featured crochet designers, pattern showcases, free patterns, coupons, discounts, giveaways, and more. This year’s theme is Pawprints on Our Hearts, so we’ll talk about our pets – furry, feathered, and scaly!

Today’s featured designer on our NatCroMo Designer Blog Tour 2022 is Melinda Miller of MoCrochet Makes. In addition to showcasing some of her crochet patterns, Melinda tells us about and shares photos of her orange tabby cat.
Be sure to visit MoCrochet’s blog because she will be posting to celebrate National Crochet Month!
We appreciate our NatCroMo designers so much! They’ve so graciously shared their time (and often a special goodie) with us, let’s show them some love! Some ways to do that are to like, follow, and shop! ❤️
- You can visit MoCrochet on social media: Instagram | Facebook
- You can shop Kathryn Clark Crochet patterns: Ravelry
Melinda also has patterns published in Crochet Now Magazine, I Like Crochet Magazine, Modern Crochet Mandalas by Interweave Press.
About Melinda

At this writing, I am about to launch my new website. In the meantime, you can still browse my original site until you’re automatically redirected to the new one. I have over 250 designs in my portfolio, many which are offered for free on my website. My patterns are clear, concise, and thoroughly tested, so that the novice to the experienced crocheter can stitch with ease. My designs come from the heart, and most have a story to tell. I love hosting crochet-alongs, and feel that we are all connected with every stitch.
Melinda’s Pet
Our blog tour theme this year is Pawprints on Our Hearts, and so we will get to learn a little about our designers’ pets!
My pet is an orange outdoor tom named Oscar. He adopted us soon after we moved into our home. He’s very friendly and affectionate, and loves to bask in the sun. He likes to follow me to the mailbox when I collect the mail.
Favorite Crochet Reference

What is one of your favorite crochet reference books or websites that is a go-to source of crochet information for you?
I have several well worn crochet stitch dictionaries, such as the Harmony collection.
