Jason Momoa in a Crochet Cardigan Is the Reason We’re Picking Up Our Hooks Again

by

Ladies, brace yourselves…
Because Jason Momoa just stepped out in a slouchy, sexy crochet cardigan that has us and half the internet feeling some kind of way.

And as if our hearts hadn’t melted enough, Jack Black decided to match the moment with his own quirky, cuddly version—and just like that, we’re crocheting cardigans faster than you can say Aquaman with yarn.

The Unexpected Bromance That’s Giving Us Hot Flashes (In the Best Way)
Who knew that a couple of Hollywood’s most lovable wild men would start a crochet cardigan revolution? Jason rocked his with that signature “I-chop-my-own-wood” energy, while Jack brought the fun, funky flair we adore. And somewhere in the middle? Pure, glorious cardigan chemistry.

We call it the Cardigan Bromance—and yes, we’d like to be wrapped up in it, please and thank you.

Rugged, Cozy… and Totally Crochetable
Let’s be real: seeing these two wearing crochet has made us rethink everything.
Forget stiff, boring winter coats—give us soft yarn, oversized stitches, and the fantasy of Momoa bringing us hot tea in the woods.
(We can dream, right?)

The best part? You don’t have to just look longingly at the photos. You can make your own version of the cardigan that’s got everyone talking.

Because let’s be honest: if Jason Momoa is making cardigans hot again, we’re all in.

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
