Pagan crochet is a form of crochet that incorporates pagan symbolism and spiritual elements into handmade items. This unique style of crochet allows individuals to express their connection to nature, the elements, and various pagan traditions through the art of crochet. One of the key aspects of pagan crochet is the use of specific symbols and motifs that hold spiritual meaning. These symbols can include representations of deities, elements, and sacred animals, among others. Incorporating these symbols into crochet projects can bring a sense of spiritual connection and significance to the item. The choice of yarn and colors used in pagan crochet also holds importance.

The choice of yarn and colors used in pagan crochet also holds importance. Many pagans associate specific colors with different elements or deities, and selecting yarn in these colors can enhance the spiritual energy of the crochet project. Additionally, natural fibers, such as cotton or hemp, are often favored by those practicing pagan crochet as they align with nature and have a more organic feel.

C is for Crochet
Crochet is magick, people might think that I am a little strange to be say it but its true. If you’ve ever been hooking away at a Granny Square and had the Goddess tap on your shoulder you will know what I mean. There is nothing more meditative than a repeating pattern and its not unusual for me to find myself in a trance state and my mind open to suggestion. I also find that I am more free in mind to write rituals and chants whilst I am working and alwas have something to hand to jot ideas down on.
One of my first experience of Hekate outside of ritual was whilst I was making a cushion cover using a granny square pattern. I found myself walking the halls of a local hospice with Hekate as she guided the dead to the next world and came back to find myself still stitching.
Its also possible to work crochet into spell work and craft learning. If you can chat ‘treble treble treble chain’ under your breath then why not something else? Admittedly I do think that the answer to every pattern problem you will ever have can be solved by a granny (be it stripe, mandala, triangle, square, hexagon so on and so forth) so repetitive patterns are my staple and they lend themselves to chants rather well.
For example, I’m currently working on a blanket using the Summer Garden Granny Square pattern from Attic24 which is an eight spoked wheel within a square. As I was working I found myself chanting and immediately had to down tools and jot it down.
The wheel is turning
The year moves on.
The wheel is turning
With my song
From solstice to solstice
And rite to rite
The wheel is turning with all its might
From Imbolc to Ostara, then the Beltane fires burn,
With the solstice the wheel is half turned,
On Lamass and Mabon to All Hallows Eve,
the Yule fire marks the start of the year.
A friend who spins her own wool (much to my envy) and I once discussed the the binding of intent into the work itself. You can do this by intent or by chat and works with both positive and negative emotion. I often focus my intent upon something that I am making as a gift, embuing it with positive wishes for the recipient.
On the flip side crochet is a great way to rid yourself of anger and confusion. I have found myself literally muttering imprecations as I place my stitches and there is nothing more therapeutic then frogging (ripping out) that entire section.
A more structured spell that I like to do is to take a small amount of black embroidery thread and a small hook (2.5 – 3mm) and make up a swatch using double or triple crochet. As you work focus on the problem or negative emotion and bind it into the stitches. Once finished take it out side, ideally somewhere exposed to the wind, centre yourself and begin to frog the work, seeing the negativity released and blown away from you. Once the entire piece is frogged loosely add the thread to a tree to be blown away, if its particularly large chop it up into a multiple of three and spread it around a little. Once it’s been left turn and leave, leaving behind your problems and negativity.
I’m a committed hooker but the same theories can apply to kniting, sewing or any other craft that involves weaving so enjoy yourself.
Pagan crochet is not only a form of artistic expression but also a way to connect with the divine and the natural world. The act of crocheting itself can be seen as a meditative practice, allowing the individual to focus on their spirituality while creating something beautiful and meaningful. In addition to creating personal items for oneself, pagan crochet can also be used to gift handmade items to others. This allows the creator to share their spiritual beliefs and symbols with loved ones and introduces others to the world of pagan crochet. Overall, pagan crochet is a way for individuals to incorporate their pagan beliefs and spiritual practices into their creative endeavors. Whether creating altar cloths, accessories, or decorative items, this unique form of crochet allows practitioners to express their spirituality in a tangible and visually appealing way. Pagan crochet brings together art and spirituality, creating a bridge between the mundane and the sacred..
Reviews for "The Healing Properties of Gemstone Yarns in Pagan Crochet"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Pagan crochet" but was ultimately disappointed with the content. The book claims to combine the art of crochet with ancient Pagan symbols, but in reality, it falls short. The patterns are uninspiring and lack creativity, and there isn't enough information provided about the symbolism behind each design. I expected a book that would delve into the history and significance of Paganism in crochet, but instead, I got a basic crochet book with a few vague references to Paganism. Overall, not worth the purchase.
2. John - 1 star - "Pagan crochet" was a huge letdown for me. The patterns included in the book were nothing out of the ordinary and didn't have any unique Pagan flair as promised. The author's attempt to incorporate Pagan symbols was half-hearted and didn't do justice to the rich symbolism present in Paganism. Additionally, the instructions were poorly explained, making it difficult for even an experienced crocheter to follow along. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a genuine fusion of Paganism and crochet.
3. Emily - 2 stars - As someone interested in both Paganism and crochet, I was excited to get my hands on "Pagan crochet." However, I was left unimpressed and underwhelmed by the patterns and ideas presented in the book. The designs were lackluster and generic, with only a few attempts at incorporating Pagan elements. The instructions were often confusing, making it hard to understand the steps needed to complete the projects. Overall, I finished reading the book feeling like it was a missed opportunity to explore the beauty and depth of Pagan symbolism through crochet.
4. Robert - 1 star - "Pagan crochet" failed to meet my expectations on so many levels. The patterns were uninspiring and lacked the creativity I was hoping for. There was also a lack of diversity in the projects, making it feel repetitive and boring. The author barely touched upon the symbolism and history of Paganism, leaving me wanting more substance. Overall, this book felt like a cash grab, capitalizing on the popularity of Paganism without delivering any meaningful content or inspiration for crocheters. Save your money and look elsewhere for a more authentic exploration of Pagan crochet.
