This year marks the 15th anniversary of Interweave Crochet—15 years of celebrating the best in crochet design and bringing readers patterns from both new and iconic designers. Today we celebrate three of those iconic designers: Dora Ohrenstein, Lily M. Chin, and Doris Chan. Over the years, they’ve hooked us with their passion, humor, and love of crochet.
