About the blog
Crochet inspiration & how-tos
The Haak Maar Raak blog is where new patterns are introduced, stitch techniques are explained, and the occasional yarn obsession gets its moment. I write every post for real crocheters, whether you're still building your stitch repertoire or tackling advanced patterns.
You'll find a mix of free patterns, step-by-step how-to guides, roundups of inspiring projects, and my honest thoughts on yarn, accessories, and books. My goal is always to make crochet feel doable, full of joy, and, of course, a little bit addictive.

Granny squares, blankets & beyond
Granny squares are a big focus here. From the classic square to modern variations, joining methods, and full blanket patterns. If you're new to them, the Granny Square hub is the best place to start.
Beyond granny squares, I've written guides on important crochet concepts, yarn reviews, and crochet-alongs. Browse by category using the filter above, or head to the free patterns if you're ready to dive straight into a rainbow project!
