A Place for Crocheters to Learn and Grow
When starting my journey into vintage and antique crochet patterns, the original sources were abundant but teachers were scarce in the online communities. The few that had experience in reading and making these patterns taught those in their communities (which is incredible) but none local to me. After accidentally turning crochet history research and antique patterns into my hobby in 2022, I discovered a world that added so much beauty and skill to my crochet I knew it needed to be brought to the modern crochet community. In 2026 I put together a youtube channel (Antique Crochet) and Dogwood Mountain Arts online store in order to provide the resources to others that I wish I had been able to have when I started my journey into antique crochet.

“We translate the patterns and source materials so that you don’t have to spend hours learning to read the old stitches or scouring the internet for the right size thread and small enough hook.”
Dogwood Mountain Arts is dedicated to making the antique patterns and techniques accessible to modern crocheters by translating the patterns and reformatting them to modern standards. We also provide kits using those updated patterns and materials (crochet threads and hooks) in order to give you the best start into antique crochet. Tutorials associated with each kit will be able to be found on our Youtube channel- Antique Crochet.
You will find that, rather than having each pattern be a research project, the language is familiar and formatting easier to follow.
