by

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.

Crochet Eyelet Jacket Crochet Pattern That Feels Polished but Totally Wearable

Some crochet jackets can feel a bit bulky or overly “crafty,” but this Crochet Eyelet Jacket from Lana Grossa feels refreshingly modern and wearable. Available through Jimmy Beans Wool, this is the kind of pattern that bridges the gap between handmade and ready-to-wear in the best possible way.

What immediately caught my eye is the eyelet stitchwork. It gives the jacket structure without heaviness, and that little bit of openness makes it perfect for layering. This isn’t a coat you wear once or twice a year — it’s a light jacket you can throw on over a tee, a tank, or even a simple dress when you want a bit of warmth without committing to sleeves-and-scarf weather.

From a crochet point of view, this is a really satisfying garment to make. The eyelet pattern keeps things interesting, but it’s still rhythmic enough that you can settle into it and enjoy the process. It’s the kind of project that feels very “grown-up crochet” — thoughtful construction, clean lines, and a finish that looks intentional rather than homemade in a rushed way.

Skill-wise, this one sits nicely in the intermediate range. You’ll want to be comfortable reading stitch patterns and maintaining even tension, especially with the eyelet design, but nothing about it feels unnecessarily complicated. If you’ve made a garment or two before and enjoyed the process, this is a lovely next step.

What I really appreciate about this jacket is how versatile it feels. In a neutral yarn, it becomes a wardrobe staple. In something bolder, it turns into a statement piece without losing its elegance. It’s the kind of crochet you can wear out to lunch, to work, or just around the house and still feel pulled together.

If you enjoy crochet garments that feel stylish, practical, and genuinely wearable, this eyelet jacket is a beautiful pattern to have on hand — one of those projects that makes you feel very pleased with your crochet skills once it’s finished.
