C r o o c h e t

Welcome and thank you for dropping by! My name is Jenn and I am the maker behind Croochet! I started this hobby in 2015 and am sooo humbled to have met many great friends/makers along the way.

Many seem to assume I have an exciting life, but in reality, I think I’m a quite boring. (Yet, my time is often occupied by doing many different little things…) On the weekdays, I usually go home right after work and munch on snacks. In my spare time, I crochet and take long walks to clear my mind!

Bebe, my fluffy rescued doggy, is my entire world and I wish we could have an eternity together. After many happy years and a long battle with her chronic diseases, she passed away from a sudden heart attack on Feb 21, 2020. I miss her tremendously and share the grief of everyone who lost a best friend.

Recently, I’ve been re-focusing my time to create cute amigurumi crochet patterns as well as donations (in the form of my well-loved Chubby Blushing Whales) for The Marine Mammal Rescue, local in Vancouver, B.C.

I hope this website will help you escape reality for a while and that you will find at least one thing worth smiling about! 🙂

Much Love,
Jenn (+Bebe)

Wow, another week has gone by already! I'm so relieved that Christmas is coming because things have been insane at work. The pandemic brings out the worst in some people. I'm so mentally exhausted from trying to diffuse the bombs they throw at me. And of course, this leaves me little to no time to work on Croochet. 😑 But anyway, what are your plans this holiday season? I'll be locking myself up and having as little human interaction as possible. A book, tea, and yarn sounds ideal. I also already finished the baby otter pattern...but may want to add stuff to it, which is why I hesitated to ask for testers for now...🦦.....

Send help please >_____< I'm desperately trying to finish this pattern but the sun isn't in my favor today (it's literally bright orange shining into my room 😑)... So now, half of my photos are in good lighting and the other half looks weird 🦦🦦

When was the last time you did something outside your comfort zone? I'm generally an anxious person and tend to stress out needlessly on the most trivial things. The other day, I made some dishcloths and was worrying how they aren't perfect squares. That's when I sorta thought maybe I should stick with amigurumi...But then doing so would mean I'm locking myself up again and never try anything new. Oh the struggle..... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Confession: the only thing I really like about crochet is the actual crochet part. Whenever I have to think about assembly and sewing, I want to pack up and call it a day....haha 😛

I'm generally intrigued by the different looks amigurumi plushes have depending on (1) what yarn is used and (2) who is making it. One pattern can provide infinite possibilities -- all unique and special in their own ways. Perhaps that's what really attracted me to amigurumi in the first place. I made this CloudJelly with Dishie Yarn from @knit_picks ☁️. What type of yarns do you love using?

I've been seeing more and more Cuddles posts lately and it makes me feel so giddy. He can be so pure. In photos. 😏 🐤

We did it everyone!!! THANK YOU to all of you who supported my donation campaign for the @marinemammalrescue this weekend! Together, we raised $1223.87! That's a lot of snacks and meals we can purchase for the patients at the rescue centre ☺️. I've rounded this amount up and made a donation of $1225.00 earlier this morning to the @marinemammalrescue 🦦

[ LAST CHANCE! ] Today is the last day you can get 20% off all my crochet patterns!!
