Hi! I’m Bronwyn, your friendly neighborhood yarn hero! I’m the designer, technical editor, and fearless maker behind Bronwyn the Brave Designs. I create imaginative knitting and crochet patterns for curious crafters who love a challenge and crave that “a-ha!” moment mid-project.
My origin story? A twisted sweater. A moment of doubt. And then—a heroic comeback! From that fateful flub, I emerged with a mission: to help makers turn missteps into momentum and face their next project with greater confidence and capability.
I design with intention—patterns that include thoughtful details, clear instructions, and teachable moments—so you feel like you’ve got a trusty sidekick on your crafting quest. Whether you’re decoding a lace chart or diving into your first toy, I’m always ready to lend a hand.
When I’m not saving the day with new designs and tech edits, I’m holding down the fort in Washington, Illinois, as Bronwyn Hahn: wife, mom, and notorious handmade gift-maker.
I believe that every maker has a bit of bravery inside. How brave are you?
