Welcome to Yarn Over Hook | The Global Home of Crochet
Crochet is Community
At Yarn Over Hook, we believe every stitch tells a story and together, those stories form the fabric of a worldwide community.
Crochet connects us — across time zones, backgrounds, and generations.
Through the Yarn Over Hook Network, we bring crocheters together across the globe through live shows, tutorials, podcasts, blogs, and events that inspire creativity, spark connection, and celebrate crochet as culture, community, and creativity.
Whether you’re here to learn your very first stitch or share your latest masterpiece, Yarn Over Hook is your space to Create, Learn, and Connect.

Our Story
Yarn Over Hook began as a simple crochet project tracker created by Founder Roman Thompson for his mother, Regina (ReRe) — a lifelong crocheter.
What started as a small Notion template soon became the spark for something much larger: the realization that crochet, despite its beauty and history, lacked a true home.
Together with his sister Sammi, Roman and ReRe set out to change that — building the home crochet deserves.
Today, Yarn Over Hook is more than a brand — it’s the global home of crochet, uniting makers worldwide through an online community, lifestyle brand, and content network dedicated to the craft.
Built by makers, for makers, Yarn Over Hook celebrates culture, community, and creativity — helping crocheters everywhere Create, Learn, and Connect.
Our Mission
To unite crocheters from every corner of the globe — building a vibrant, trusted, and creative community where every loop, pattern, and story strengthens the global thread that ties us together.
