As the colder months approach, it’s time to cozy up in crochet! We’re thrilled to spotlight three incredible crochet brands and two fuzzy accessory brands created by ravers in the USA.
The Importance of Knowing Who Made Your Crochet Wear
Crochet has been trending since the 1970s. It is an age-old craft that demands handwork and artistry, as currently no machine can replicate its intricate stitches. Each piece is a labor of love, crafted with personal touches that reflect the artisan's skill. Unfortunately, this dedication to craftsmanship is often undermined by fast fashion brands that exploit the craft and underpay workers. Since crochet garments typically take 20 to 30 hours to create, it's crucial to be mindful of low-priced crochet products that may not support ethical practices.
At Raverie, we proudly stand behind these passionate makers who pour their hearts into every stitch! We interviewed the artists to learn more about their stories and crafts. Let’s dive in and get to know these incredible rave brands!

Why Crochet?
Why Crochet?
Nessorne: I love crochet for many reasons! It helps ease my anxiety, reminds me of my Grandma, and opens up social opportunities with others who admire the craft. It’s a way for me to work through my emotions and provides a creative outlet. Plus, it gives me a bubble when I'm out and about, allowing me to retreat into my own little world.
