Emilie Høyrup found endless joy when she stumbled upon the magical world of crochet and never looked back. She’s the founder of the popular crochet brand Bomuldskys, and her creations often take the shape of delicious foods that we all know and love.
Høyrup is a textile artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark, who sees crochet as her sanctuary of serenity that allowed her to embrace her creative side.
“As a lover of all conceivable creative challenges, I’ve always yearned for an outlet to express my artistic side. Over time, I realized the importance of setting aside time in my everyday life for creativity – a joyful pursuit that brings me immense satisfaction and reflection,” she wrote on her official website.
Høyrup’s love for crochet led to the foundation of her brand Bomuldskys, which borrows its name from the Danish word for “cotton kisses”. She opted for this name because she always enjoyed the soft and airy nature of cotton flowers, and she wanted her crochet art to evoke the same feeling in other people.
Høyrup finds inspiration in all walks of life, but she caught her eye with her food-inspired crochet creations. They take the shape of fruits, veggies, cookies, pancakes, macarons, and many other sweet treats, and she shared countless free patterns on her website for everyone who’s willing to try recreating her work.
