About Namaste and Crochet
Namaste and Crochet was founded by designer, Dominique Calvillo, as a celebration of diversity, inclusivity & body positivity. We believe that fashion is for every body and every BODY!
Namaste and Crochet offers fashion forward, size-inclusive crochet patterns for beginner to advanced crocheters.
Our goal is that each maker can make their own crocheted garment to fit their body and style. Our patterns encourage the maker to explore their style and creativity while guiding them to achieve their perfect fit.
About the Designer
My love affair with crochet began as a child. I was taught to crochet by my mother and grandmother and often attended their crochet club, which was famously known as “The Happy Hookers.” As a child, I fell in love with the rhythms and patterns of crochet, which to this day, is a love that has never faded.
Crochet became a crucial part of my mental health during a time when I was struggling with depression and anxiety. I turned to crochet as my main source of meditation. The lace patterns, geometry, and repetitive motions of the stitches restored peace to my soul and and gave me hope. I continue to meditate with crochet and am so thankful to be connected to this art form.
I believe that just as my pieces are woven together with beauty, intricacy and intent, so are you. I celebrate your shapes, your colors and all the beautiful details that make up your being. I delight in the opportunity to make pieces that are not just fashion driven, but also inspire you to be your highest self and fully experience the beauty of the present moment.
Namaste,
Dominique

Crochet became a crucial part of my mental health while working against human trafficking in Southeast Asia. While there, I helped women find freedom, which was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I also found myself immersed in the darkest parts of humanity, which caused me to suffer from deep depression and anxiety. I turned to crochet as my main source of meditation. The lace patterns, sacred geometry, and repetitive motions of the stitches restored peace to my soul and and gave me hope. I continue to meditate with crochet and am so thankful to be connected to this art form.
