The Fireside Fable
Crochet Collection:
Six Patterns.
Infinite Stories.

From cardigans to cowls, blankets to bags — every design is a chapter in crochet, stitched with warmth and meaning.

You love crochet & You’ve practiced motifs.

But finding patterns that actually use them
in beautiful, functional ways?
That can feel like a struggle.

modern crochet frustrations:

1

Motif projects often feel outdated or uninspired. You want designs that are fresh, stylish, and chic — not the same granny-square blanket your grandmother made (even though you love her).

2

It’s hard to find motif patterns that balance beauty and practicality. Too many are either overly decorative or not useful at all. You want projects you’ll actually wear, use, or gift.

3

You don’t just want practice pieces — you want heirloom-worthy projects. Motifs are fun to learn, but you need patterns that transform them into something meaningful and worth showing off.

Happy Notes

  • “Robyn makes motifs make sense!”

    I’ve never found crochet instructions so clear and complete. Every detail is explained in a way that feels approachable but still professional. With Robyn’s guidance, motifs finally clicked for me… and the Fireside Fable Crochet Collection turns that knowledge into projects I’ll treasure forever.

  • “The perfect companion to Shape Architecture!”

    I learned so much in the Shape Architecture with Crochet Motifs course, and this collection is the ideal next step. The patterns are beautiful, practical, and inspiring.

    Robyn has a true gift for teaching, and these designs show just how versatile motifs can be when presented with her signature style.

    • But you know what?

    I’ve been exactly where you are — excited to learn motifs, but frustrated when I couldn’t find patterns that actually made them shine.

    I could wear, use, or gift.

    That’s why I created the Fireside Fable Crochet Collection.

    No more wondering “what now?” after learning a new technique — you’ll have projects that are stylish, practical, and endlessly rewarding.

    Because the truth is, crochet isn’t just about the stitches… it’s about what you can create with them. And with this collection, you’ll finally have designs that feel as special as the skills you’ve worked so hard to master.
