Maura O Reilly

“I was delighted to take part in this challenge, as I love seeing the different ideas that designers come up with. When the yarn arrived, my creative juices started flowing. I enjoyed playing with the various shades and matching them up together. My trio of egg cosies have already put smiles on the faces of the children – and adults – in my life. I hope they make Simply Crochet readers and their families grin, too.” Visit Maura at www.hookedhuncrochet.com and on Instagram at @hooked_hun

Debonita Deore

“Taking part in the Hook to Hook challenge filled me with sheer excitement! It was like diving into a pool of creative possibilities with my crochet skills. My design, which I call Daisy Delight, draws inspiration from the beauty of daisies and sunny meadows. I loved working with the Sirdar cotton yarn for these mini bucket hat cosies, decking them out with daisy and leaf appliqués.” Find Debonita on Ravelry as Elegantly Fashionable Creations and on Instagram as @efcreationsofficial
