It's great to meet you! I'm Irina, a crochet pattern designer from London, UK, creating original amigurumi crochet patterns under the pen name Irene Strange.

I love to design patterns for unusual animals, cuddly toys, small accessories and desk organisers - the more quirky, cute or funny, the better!  

My grandmother taught me to crochet, knit and sew, and the love of crafting stayed with me ever since. I love turning a sketch into a huggable squish able object, sculpting with yarn and hook.
 
I hope you will enjoy these patterns as much as I enjoyed designing them! 

Happy crafting! 
Irina
