About the Author

Nour Abdallah is a Berlin-based illustrator and designer who loves toys and refuses to grow up. Having her children look at her work and enjoy the visuals is what motivates her most! She met Granny's Crochet Hook on the Instagram crochet society and they naturally started working together, with Nour dreaming up and drawing all of the characters that Granny's Crochet Hook turns into dolls. Dasha & Kate Umbitalieva (Granny's Crochet Hook) are sisters from St. Petersburg who share an Instagram amigurumi account and a big love for crochet. Instagram is also the place where they first saw Nour's character Lula and asked her if they could use her drawing as inspiration to design a doll and pattern, and that's how they got the ball rolling.
