Concrete Gems Crochet

Concrete Gems Crochet Hi, I’m Gemma! I create beautifully textured, easy crochet patterns inspired by nature. Alongside designing, I also offer crochet technical editing. Still unsure?

I also support crochet designers with expert tech editing services to help bring their patterns to life with clarity and confidence. I’ve always loved crochet – there’s something magical about turning yarn into texture, colour, and shape. For me, it’s one of the most relaxing and fulfilling activities imaginable. Over the years, I’ve been inspired by nature, from the delicate pattern of leaves to

the intricate textures of forest floors, and I love bringing those ideas into my crochet designs. My focus is on creating nature-inspired, textured crochet patterns that are both beautiful and enjoyable to make. My journey into this started thanks to my mother-in-law, who introduced me to the idea of reviewing patterns for mathematical accuracy and clarity. As an English graduate (and part-time accountant!), this instantly clicked with me. Technical editing ensures that every pattern you publish or use works perfectly. No more stitch counts that don’t add up, missing definitions, confusing abbreviations, or grammatical quirks that interrupt your flow. That’s where I step in. Send me a message – we can chat! Pricing depends on pattern complexity and the level of checking needed (text, charts, schematics, formatting). Small accessories may take an hour, while complex garments with multiple sizes can take up to 8 hours. I charge £25/hour, billed in 15-minute increments. Whether you’re here for textured, nature-inspired crochet patterns or professional technical editing, I’m excited to help you bring your crochet ideas to life.

The magic ring (or adjustable ring) looks super tricky, but I have an easy way to do it! This is part of our summer beginner crochet series. I love using a magic ring, and as long as you weave in the end really well, you'll have no issues with it coming undone either!

With AI-generated crochet and knit images becoming harder to recognize, it can be especially difficult for newer crafters to know who and what they can trust.

That’s why I’m so happy to be part of the new Crochet & Knit Designer Directory from Snappy Tots. ❤️

It’s a searchable place to discover real crochet and knit designers and find the places where we share our work.

I’m proud to be included in the first group!
