M. Amine
Publisher and editor, Crochet Explained
M. Amine publishes Crochet Explained for beginners who want practical patterns and plain explanations: what to buy, how a stitch works, and where a size comes from a gauge calculation rather than a finished sample.
M. Amine is not a crochet designer and does not hold a teaching credential. Pattern sizes are calculations from the gauge on the page, and pictures of finished objects are illustrations, not photographs of a made sample. Details are on the disclosures page. If a count looks wrong, use the contact page and name the page and the row.
