About/Contact

Hello, and welcome to Desert Blossom Crafts! My name is Rachel, and I am passionate about all things crocheting.

My mission here on the blog is give you all the resources you need to make your own handmade home and wardrobe…while also glorifying God in the process!

You can read a whole lot more about me in the paragraphs below…but in case you just want to get in touch, let’s cover that first.

Meet the Maker

In case you haven’t met me before – hi! My name is Rachel.

I’ve always been fascinated by the thought of making something myself. When I was 9 years old, my Grandma taught me to crochet a simple chain. I never looked back after that!

When I was in my early teens, I started finding my love for designing. The more I designed, the more my inspiration grew. Eventually, I realized that I wanted to make my patterns available to the world!

I startedthe Desert Blossom Crafts blog when I was just 16 years old. The years since then have been a crazy journey, but I am so thankful that I can now crochet for a living!

The Mission of Desert Blossom Crafts

There are a few main topics I focus on here on the Desert Blossom Crafts blog; and each thing is something I am truly passionate about!

1. I Help Beginners Learn to Crochet Sweaters

I had a loooong journey of learning what goes into crocheting a sweater. The first garment I made was a complete disaster. I had no idea what gauge was, or how to choose the right yarn for my project.

Because this was something I struggled with, it has made me all the more excited to help other beginners avoid my mistakes!

You can find all my wearable crochet patterns here – they are designed with the beginner in mind!

I also have a FREE email challenge that will teach you everything you need to know about gauge! You can sign up for that below. So many people have taken this mini course and loved it!

2. I Strive to integrate Christ with crochet!

I am a Christian and a firm believer in the Bible. There is no way I could have a platform like this and NOT use it for the glory of God!

Currently, I run yearly crochet-alongs for charities like Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child (there is one coming up soon – email me if you want details!). I have also served overseas teaching women to crochet.
