Shelley Husband is a designer, author, and serious supporter of making crocheting easy and enjoyable. While Shelley learned crocheting as a child, it took her almost 40 years to crochet her next granny square — and she hasn’t stopped since.

Soon after that square, Shelley realised she had a new design in mind, and then another, and… well, let’s just say, there’s no slowing the new designs that continue to have her granny square community buzzing.

From her first book, Granny Square Flair, winning UK’s Best Crochet Book in 2019, to a total tally of twelve books, Shelley enjoys giving her community what they want. Now with an App, her online community Granny Square Circle, and regular workshops across the country, Shelley loves getting the curious hooked on granny squares.
