American Crochet Association

The American Crochet Association is your personal journey to crochet mastery. We offer a twelve course program that’s easily managed with one new lesson every week.

Salena found that there wasn’t a great resource for teaching crochet from step one. She wanted to make sure that everyone could have success when learning to crochet.

Rather than wait around for someone else to come up with a solution she took it upon her self to start an education program, the American Crochet Association.

The belief at the American Crochet Association is that good habits bring great results, and that’s why they offer one new lesson each week! They want their courses to be quick, fun, easy to access, and highly rewarding! In just 30 minutes a week, you’ll master every topic that is covered!

About Salena Baca

Salena Baca learned to crochet before grade school and has been wildly obsessed ever since!

After crocheting “in the closet” most of her life, Salena burst out after finding Ravelry in 2009. Learning that an entire world of crocheters were available to connect with was life-changing. It determined her next career move; crochet design and networking.

She began designing patterns that appealed to her style, and has formed platforms such as Salena Baca Crochet, the Design Wars Challenge, Happily Hooked Magazine, The Pattern Pack, and the American Crochet Association.

She’s published over 200 patterns, has very strong ties in the crochet and fiber arts community, and is the author of Crochet for Christmas and My Crochet Closet. Salena currently lives with her family in Oregon.
