Like parents who hide puréed cauliflower in mac and cheese to get their kids to eat vegetables, Lisa Ha uses comedy as the secret ingredient to get more people interested in crochet. A crochentertainer (crochet + entertainer) known as Get to Hooking Crochet on social media, her irreverent tongue-in-cheek humor is broadly enjoyed by audiences across the globe, whether they crochet (yet) or not. Born in the US into a large, boisterous family of Vietnam War refugees, Lisa was taught to crochet at age eight by one of her many aunts and never stopped. Her dry humor and approachable teaching style help make the ancient art of “hooking” accessible to total beginners while keeping things interesting for seasoned pros. At her home in Virginia, Lisa treasures her yarn stash, her collection of nerdy amigurumi, her husband, and her favorite handmade creations: her children—all in reverse order.

**“This is truly a one-of-a-kind pattern book that should not be missed…” —Booklist

Craft your sass into every stitch with the hilariously irreverent patterns and crochet fun waiting for you in Snarky Crochet!

**If you’ve ever wanted to say what you really think—without actually saying it—Snarky Crochet has you covered. From viral crochet creator Lisa Ha (@gettohookingcrochet), this bold and brilliantly petty pattern book is designed for makers who want to turn their feelings into fiber. Whether it’s pettiness, irritation, heartbreak, or straight-up spite, there’s a project here to help you stitch it out with sass.

With 15 lippy crochet patterns that blend sarcasm, humor, and passive-aggressive charm, Snarky Crochet redefines what a craft book can be. Along with the patterns, you’ll find a hefty supply of crochet jokes, practical listicles, and must-learn tips, like how you can keep crocheting when surrounded by idiots. 

Inside this one-of-a-kind book, you’ll find:**

**

• 15 cheeky patterns, including the Middle Finger Cactus, Spite Stripe Scarf, Cat Butt Coasters, and more!
• Beginner-accessible instructions so anyone can join the petty party—no matter their skill level.
• Tips for customizing projects to throw even more shade with your stitches.
• Listicles, jokes, and fiber puns for endless crochet fun!
• Inspiration for gifts, gag projects, and yarn-fueled emotional catharsis.
  Each pattern is an outlet—whether you’re crocheting a revenge project for an ex-friend, or just need a reason to cackle while you craft. Lisa’s voice is equal parts hilarious and empowering, inviting you to be unapologetically yourself and have fun with your yarn.

Perfect for Gen Z crafters, punk-hearted fiber artists, and anyone who’s tired of pastel bunnies and cozy clichés, Snarky Crochet is a celebration of humor, honesty, and handmade rebellion. Use it to start conversations, get a laugh, or just vent in the most productive (and passive-aggressive) way possible.

Because sometimes the best way to heal—or roast someone—is one stitch at a time.
