About Me

Esraa Ahmed Riyad

Crochet Designer and Instructor

Hello everyone, I’m Esraa, the creator of Esraa Riyad Designs!

An Egyptian mom to two beautiful girls, Crochet Designer & Certified Crochet Instructor from ACA
( American Crochet Association ).

Owner & Founder Of “Esraa Riyad Designs” April 2021 & “Slip Stitch Crochet” from 2015 till now.

 I learned to crochet at the age of nine at the hands of my mother first, then from the teacher of crafts at school...
In 2014, I decided to take it seriously and learn crochet professionally from a professional trainer in my city (Cairo, Egypt). Now crochet is my permanent work and I focus on it in particular. I first started producing simple products and selling them in the local market and I created my own brand “Slip Stitch Crochet”. I was always taking notes and recording work steps, but I didn't think of writing the entire Pattern until last February when I realized that I had to develop my work and take it to a higher level. So, I left my hook and yarns down and focus on refining, writing, and drawing my own designs. Currently, I am very fond of modern tapestry designs, especially those used in home decoration.

I strive to create new and innovative designs that enrich the world of crochet with unconventional designs.

I hope that I can help you find your own creative spark through my crochet patterns, or inspire you to spend some time every day doing what you love.
