Hi! My name is Kelsey, and this is my website. |
I started crocheting about six years ago, and have always loved the ability to create and customize my very own clothing and accessories.
I created this website to help those who are new to crochet learn the foundations they need to start any basic crochet project. And the cuter the project...the better! In fact, "kawaii" is the Japanese word for cute. Crocheting takes time and a lot of hard-work, but I know with practice, you too will fall in love with the wonderful world of crochet.
Welcome to Kelsey's Kawaii Crochet...enjoy your visit!
P.S.: The color scheme used for this website is based off of my favorite 80's inspired double-crocheted blanket! :)
