]]>Xiao Yao Saaf is the mastermind behind the Instagram page @xiaoyao_ya, and she specializes in handmade micro-crochet. She describes herself as someone who likes small and beautiful things, and that’s part of the reason why her approach to crocheting is so unique.
Flowers are her most common subject, and she uses white thin yarn – usually French DMC crochet yarn – to bring them to life, before dying them by hand. This is her favorite part of the whole ordeal because it feels like watching a flower grow and bloom in your hand.
You’ll learn a lot about flowers through Saaf’s Instagram posts since she always makes sure to list their names, along with the tools she used in their making. We’ve also seen her share some of her patterns, and you can give them a shot if you’re a crocheting enthusiast trying to recreate her work.
Saaf’s crochet isn’t only inspired by flowers, but nature in general, and we’ve seen her crochet everything from butterflies to pine cones and acorns over the years.

]]>Dandelion was crocheting for 15 years and had a successful store on Etsy before deciding to take things to another level in 2017. This was a turning point for the crochet artist because it marked the moment when she started her one-woman brand WildxDandi, based in her home country of Jamaica.
Dandelion On her official website, Dandelion explains she started her brand “with the idea of bringing something unique and original to the fashion market”, adding that she wanted to showcase her own view of how the crochet could be worn. Wild Dandi is a slow-fashion brand, and all items are uniquely tailored and crocheted for each client.
One thing that we love about WildxDandi is the beautiful splash of colors that their fashion items bring to the table. From crochet dresses and skirts to tops and bikinis, all of Dandelion’s items look as vibrant as it gets, and she even shared some of her most popular patterns on her official website for all the other crocheting enthusiasts out there.
