Crochet Dad’s children, grandchildren, and wife are sad to announce the passing of Crochet Dad (Gene) on January 3, 2022. We wanted to keep his patterns available for you to use to make beautiful creations for your loved ones--like the ones all of us treasure. Please know that we will not be able to provide support for these patterns, should you have questions.
