Michelle Ferguson, Featured Crochet Designer

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!

Some of the links on this page will earn us a commission if you make a purchase through them. View our disclosure policy for details.


Today’s featured designer on our NatCroMo Designer Blog Tour 2022 is Michelle Ferguson of Two Brothers Blankets. In addition to showcasing some of her crochet patterns, for our theme Pawprints on Our Hearts, she tells us about her two dogs, Lexi and Lucy.

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! ❤️


About Michelle

My name is Michelle. I am a wife of 13 years and a mom to 2 boys and 2 dogs! I live with my family in southwest Florida. I have been crocheting since 2011 and designing crochet patterns since 2014. I design crochet sweaters and other garments mostly, with some accessories and home décor patterns added in occasionally. I love to create modern and trendy garments for your handmade wardrobe!


Michelle’s Pets

I have two dogs. Lexi is my 13 year old lab mix and Lucy is an almost 5 year old beagle mix. Both are rescue pups and they are the only girls in my family, besides me! In a house full of boys I am so happy to have my girls. They are both sweet, friendly, and love to play outside in our back yard.


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?

Craft Yarn Council is an amazing resource for standards, size charts, and crochet abbreviations. I also love crochetpreneur.com for all things related to running a crochet business!
