Double Stitch Twins Erika and Monika Simmons aka the Double Stitch Twins is a line of fun and flirty crochet apparel! We're dedicated to doing what we love and sharing what we do.

We're just a couple of fashionable crochet chicks that happen to look alike. We truly love life, we love our family our friends, and we love what we do. DOUBLE STITCH is the brainchild of the multi-talented, identical twin, crochet fashion designers, Erika & Monika Simmons. Their original collection of fun and flirty hand crochet apparel has it all - one of a kind construction, limitless use of color, plush fabrication, and silhouettes that flatter all body types. The Twins continue to work on more Crafty collaborations, with companies like Red Heart Yarns, so keep your eyes on the DOUBLE STITCH TWINS, as their passion for "doing what they love, and sharing what they do" has always been a part of who they are and it continues to be the driving force behind all of their endeavors.

In 2002, Double Stitch Twins was born from a simple desire: to create stylish wraps we could wear during the fall and winter months without sacrificing fashion for function. We wanted pieces that added texture, color, and personality—designs that felt sophisticated, artistic, and sometimes a little bohemian, but never ordinary.
More than two decades later, that vision remains the same.
Today, we continue to create sexy, sophisticated, colorful crochet fashions for those who love to wear handmade art—or simply appreciate the creativity, craftsmanship, and passion woven into every stitch.
This summer, we’re excited to be part of an artful experience that brings together music, art, community, and local makers at South Side Sanctuary’s The Stage Summer Concert Series & Vendor Flea Market. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy live entertainment, discover unique handmade goods, and support the important work South Side Sanctuary is doing in our community.
We know Chicago summers are filled with amazing events and activities, but we hope you’ll carve out a little time to stop by, say hello, and experience what we’re creating. We’d love to meet you!
Take a look at our upcoming schedule and join us at one of these special events.
With gratitude,

Erika & Monika Simmons�The Double Stitch Twins

✨Designer to Designer Inspiration✨
At the Sweet Auburn Music Festival, we got a chance to hang out with many fabulous crochet artists whose work we love and admire. Our friend Rhonda Davis of PlushPhunk was no exception. Her classy Cleo hoop earrings, crafted with leather that kinda looked like macramé, were so beautifully done that I (Erika) had to take a pair home. 💛

As a crochet designer, I’ve never really ventured into making earrings — but her artistry sparked something in me! I decided to play around with satin and rainbow cord to create my own crochet version inspired by her design. 🌈🧶

Right now, I’m not planning to use leather for my hoops, so if that luxe look speaks to you, definitely go check out her shop and grab a pair directly from her on Etsy — Plush Phunk has you covered! 💫

It’s a reminder that inspiration is everywhere — and when we create from a place of appreciation, every thread connects us.
