Norman is LIVE!!! 🐮
This release is a little bittersweet.
Norman was inspired by my mother-in-law’s highland cow, who passed away this week. 🤍
This pattern now holds a really special place in my heart.
I’m so excited to finally share him with you 🧶🤎
This was such a labor of love, and I cannot wait to see your Normans come to life.
I’m also 32 sales away from 100 on Etsy (!!) so to celebrate…
✨ The first 40 orders will get 40% off ANY pattern ✨
✨ After that, everything will be 25% off for the rest of the weekend ✨
✨ Norman is now live on Etsy — link in bio ✨
✨ All patterns are included + there’s a bundle with both Norman & Mabel available 🤍🐮
Comment “NORMAN” if you’re making one!! 🐮👇

If you love crochet, cozy nights, and turning yarn into something special… you’re in the right place. 🧶
I see so many new faces here lately, so I wanted to re-introduce myself! 👋
Hi, I’m Alyssa — the maker behind MemoryLayneDesign 🧶
A few things about me:
✍️ I’m a crochet pattern designer who loves creating cute pieces others can bring to life
🧶 I started this small business because I fell in love with turning yarn into something meaningful
🏕️ When I’m not crocheting, I love a good binge-worthy show, spending time outdoors, and being with my cute family
This little business means so much to me, and I’m so grateful you’re here supporting it. 🤍
Here you’ll find crochet patterns, tester calls, pattern releases, and lots of handmade goodness.
If you’re new here, comment NEW so I can say hi! 👋And tell me — how long have you been crocheting?

The heart behind the Julie Ann Lovey Collection 🥹🤍
I created this collection after my grandma, Julie Ann — the woman who inspired so much of my love for crochet.
Last night I got to sit and watch her crochet, and it reminded me why this collection means so much to me. 🤍
There’s something so special about the hands that teach us, comfort us, and inspire us.
If you’ve ever had someone special inspire what you love, this one’s for you 🫶🏻
Me showing Tippy Goose to everyone like they haven’t seen him already 😂🪿
But can you blame me?! I mean… look at him 🥹🤍
I swear crocheting something this cute automatically creates emotional attachment 😭
Okay be honest… would you keep Tippy Goose for yourself or gift him? 👀

‼️ Save this crochet tip for later ‼️
Threading a yarn needle with frayed yarn is the WORST 😭
Try this easy trick next time and thank me later 🧶✨
Have you tried this before? 👀👇
You told yourself you were only making ONE crochet project… and suddenly you have an entire collection 😭🤍
Please tell me I’m not the only one who starts just one project and somehow ends up emotionally attached to making matching friends 🫶🏻😂
Which one would you make first? 👀

Lately it feels harder and harder to find crochet patterns written by actual crocheters 🧶🥲
Every pattern I create is designed, written, edited, and tested by me because the little details matter 🤍
The shaping. The stitch counts. The photos. The finished result actually looking like the pattern cover 👀
I want my patterns to feel fun, relaxing, and easy to follow — whether you’re making one for yourself, your kiddos, or as a gift 🫶🏻
Thank you for supporting real artists, designers, and small businesses 🤍
I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever get over this yarn store in New Zealand 🥹🧶
Seeing shelves full of beautiful yarn — especially the unbelievably soft merino wool made right there in New Zealand — felt like an actual dream as a crocheter.
The textures, the colors, the cozy atmosphere… I wanted to bring the whole store home with me 🤍
Now be honest… would you have left with just one skein? 👀
POV: one crochet project turned into late nights, yarn everywhere, pattern writing, happy dances over Etsy sales, and the best little community 🥹🤍
Honestly so grateful for every single person supporting my small business.🤍

And on Mother’s Day, it feels even more special to celebrate the woman who inspired the Julie Ann Lovey Collection.
I named this collection after her because she represents everything I hope these loveys feel like — comfort, gentleness, warmth, and love. 🌸
