Anne-Caroline “AnneKo” Alard

Self-taught crochet and surface designer. Geek. Parent of 3. French.

Petits Pixels started in 2010 as a way to keep busy  and help pay the bills while I took care of my newborn son.
At first I made and sold badges, magnets and earrings created with shrink plastic.
Then, I learned how to crochet to make toys for my kids. People started asking me for amigurumi patterns, so I learned how to write instructions and draw charts.
I also discovered how fun designing seamless patterns could be, thanks to the Spoonflower challenges.
Gradually, I’ve stopped working with shrink plastic and I’ve ended up focusing only on surface designs and crochet patterns.

(I have a day job since 2014 so I can only work on Petits Pixels in my spare time.)
