About Us

Hi, I'm Riana! 🧶

Welcome to Riana Crochets — a little corner of the internet where handmade meets heart. I'm Riana Vermillion, a 24-year-old crochet artist based in Murrieta, CA, and I am so glad you're here.

How It All Started

In 2023 I was studying abroad in Leipzig Germany and a small group of us visited a small business who sold crochet kits. I immediatly became hooked, no pun inteneded. Not only did I make what was in the kit while I was there, but I also bought other yarn and made my own projects while taking in the amazing scenery of Germany. Once I was back stateside, I began crocheting almost daily, channeling the creative energy I have always had into something that I had always wanted to try, I just had never done it. I started my business in the spring of 2024 with an instagram page and a google form that my friends would fill out to order from me and I've been selling ever since.

What I Make

Every item in my shop is handmade by me — from the squishy stuffies and adorable keychains to the patterns I design so you can make your own. I pour care and attention into every single stitch, which means no two pieces are exactly alike. When you shop with Riana Crochets, you're getting something truly one-of-a-kind.

Why Handmade Matters

In a world of mass production, handmade items carry something special — intention. I choose quality materials, take my time with every project, and make sure each piece is something I'd be proud to give as a gift myself. Whether it's a gift for someone you love or a little treat for yourself, you deserve something made with care.

Beyond the Shop

When I'm not crocheting, you can find me sharing my process on YouTube and connecting with an amazing community of makers on social media. I love showing the behind-the-scenes of what goes into each piece and helping others fall in love with crochet too.

Thank you so much for supporting a small, handmade business. It truly means everything. 🤍
