    Crochet • Create • Connect •

    HOOKED IN GHANA is a creative gathering designed to bring crocheters, fiber artists, designers, and makers from around the world into a shared cultural experience rooted in Ghana.

  • 🧵 Designer Requirements (Important)

    Crochet Content Requirement

    All runway entries must be:

    • At least 80% crochet or fiber-art based.

    Not 90%. Not 100%.

    Why this matters:

    This requirement allows creative flexibility while protecting the integrity of the experience. Designers may incorporate mixed materials such as:

    • Kente
    • Batik
    • Leather accents
    • Beadwork
    • + More

    The 80% threshold ensures crochet and fiber art remain the dominant artistic foundation while still allowing cultural fusion and innovation on the runway.
