Crochet Amigurumi for Every Occasion: 21 Easy Projects to Celebrate Life’s Happy Moments

I was super excited to get my hands on “Crochet Amigurumi for Every Occasion” and start whipping up some cute and cuddly creations! I was not disappointed. This book has it all – from the adorable amigurumi patterns created by The Woobles, to the easy-to-follow instructions and helpful photos and videos.

One of my favourite things about this book was how it was organized by gift theme. It made it so easy to pick and choose the perfect project for the occasion at hand. Whether it was a baby shower, birthday, housewarming, or engagement party, I felt like I had a wealth of options to choose from. And let me tell you, the finished products are not just cute, they’re down right adorable!

As someone who has struggled with crochet patterns in the past, I really appreciated the frustration-free experience this book provides. The stitch tutorials, patterns, photos, and video instructions were all so helpful and made the whole process a breeze. And if I ever got stuck, I could simply flip to the beginning of the book and follow the step-by-step photo tutorial.

The clear instructions and simple, cute designs made each pattern a joy to make. And if I ever came across a tricky stitch or technique, I could watch a video tutorial on The Woobles’ website to help me out. And let’s not forget about the inspiring images! Each pattern was accompanied by photos of the finished project, as well as custom step-by-step photos for anything unique to the pattern.

“Crochet Amigurumi for Every Occasion” was a delightful book to work with. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make some adorable and cuddly creations for their loved ones.

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.
