About
Hey there! I’m Florine Hardin.
I am the creator, crochet designer, and maker behind florinehardin.com. My love for crochet started years ago when I picked up my very first hook and a skein of soft pastel yarn. What began as a simple weekend hobby quickly transformed into a lifelong passion for texture, color combinations, and handmade warmth.
I started this blog because I believe that crochet is one of the most rewarding and relaxing forms of self-expression. Whether you are holding a hook for the first time or looking for your next intricate sweater or amigurumi project, my goal is to provide clear, inspiring, and easy-to-follow resources every step of the way.
