Book Review- Friends: The One with the Crochet: The Official Crochet Pattern Book

I have just finished browsing through ‘Friends: The One with the Crochet: The Official Crochet Pattern Book‘ and it is an absolute must-have for any fan of the show. The book is filled with over 25 official patterns for amigurumi, housewares, costume replicas, inspired apparel, and more, all inspired by and pulled directly from the beloved sitcom. The patterns are easy to understand and follow, with helpful diagrams and detailed instructions. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow and the photos are gorgeous.

The book offers a wide range of projects for all skill levels and a variety of stitches and techniques. The patterns are not only fun to make but also great for re-creating iconic moments from the show. The book is beautifully designed, with full-color photographs and iconic images from the show. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Friends!

This book is a great addition to the Friends collection, which includes Friends: The Official Cookbook, Friends: The Official Central Perk Cookbook, Friends: The Official Recipe Journal, Friends: The Official Advent Calendar, Friends: Yellow Frame Softcover Notebook, and more. I would highly recommend this book to any Friends fan and crochet enthusiast.”

If you’re a sucker for anything with a little texture and a bit of old-school sweetness, the Everly crochet baby blanket is going to be right up your alley. This pattern is described as being inspired by a “field of blooming roses,” and honestly… that’s exactly the vibe. Those rosette motifs give it that pretty, dimensional look that instantly makes a blanket feel special, even before it’s finished.

What I like about a motif-based baby blanket like this is the built-in “wow factor.” You’re not just making rows and rows of the same stitch (which can be soothing… until you’re 900 stitches in and questioning your life choices). With the rosettes, you get that satisfying sense of progress — each motif feels like a little finished moment, and then suddenly you’ve got a blanket coming together.

The finished size is a really lovely, practical baby blanket size too: approximately 36” wide x 44” long. Big enough for pram naps, floor play, tummy time, and all those cozy cuddles — without turning into a never-ending, queen-size commitment.

This is also one of those patterns that makes a gorgeous gift. It’s sweet and nursery-friendly, but it doesn’t feel overly cutesy. It has that timeless, handmade look that people tend to keep — the kind of blanket that ends up being “the” blanket in family photos for years.

If you enjoy crochet that has texture, charm, and that slightly vintage-meets-whimsical feel, Everly is the kind of blanket pattern that’s genuinely fun to make and even nicer to gift.
