Rebecca Velasquez

Rebecca Velasquez learned to crochet at a very young age. As an adult, she resumed crocheting to honor the grandmother who taught her how. She quickly fell in love and, following her passion and a desire to build upon it, added knitting and spinning to her repertoire. With a background that also includes sewing, Rebecca began designing and creating her own style. She has been published in numerous magazines and authored a collection, Crochet: Book One with Quince & Co. Moreover, she has created designs for Classic Elite Yarns, Quince & Co., Bijou Basin Ranch Yarns, Kollage Yarns, and Coats&Clark, as well as being a contributing designer for an upcoming book to be published by Interweave Press. She is currently working on multiple designs for future print publications in addition to continually creating knitting and crocheting designs for her own line, RV Designs.  Rebecca’s designs have a propensity to be classic in structure and silhouette. Her easy way with yarn selection and stitch choices are where her originality shines, appealing to both beginning and advanced crocheters and knitters alike. To explore some of Rebecca’s designs, you can visit her website www.RebeccaVelasquez.com or find her on Ravelry (RebeccaVelasquez). Rebecca lives in Houston, Texas with her husband and four children that give her unconditional love, support, and inspiration.
