Welcome!

Hello, I am Jane and I wanted to create a little space on the internet where I could curate and share my crochet and amigurumi designs.

My love for crochet began as a fun hobby, a way to unwind after a long day. But the more I learned, the more I realised how powerful those little stitches could be! From adorable amigurumi creatures that bring smiles to friends and family, to custom pieces that hold sentimental value, I soon knew this wasn’t just a hobby—it was a way of spreading joy and creativity.

NJCraftyCreations started as a simple idea: to share my crochet creations with the world. What began a hobby blossomed into a space filled with handmade charm, lots of yarn, and a mission to inspire others.

What is Amigurumi?

When I discovered Amigurumi, I knew this would be the hobby for me.  I mean who doesn’t enjoy looking at cute animals and dolls?

I have been designing my own patterns since 2023 and want to be able to share the peace of mind crochet brings me with other people. Please explore my site and enjoy creating my patterns.

You may have heard the term amigurumi and wondered, “What exactly is that?” Well, let me tell you—it’s one of the most fun and adorable forms of crochet out there!

Amigurumi (pronounced ah-mee-goo-roo-mee) is the Japanese art of crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures. From cute animals and tiny dolls to fantasy creatures and beyond, the sky’s the limit when it comes to what you can create with this whimsical craft. The word itself comes from a combination of the Japanese words ami (meaning crocheted or knitted) and nuigurumi (meaning stuffed doll).

What makes amigurumi so special? It’s all in the details! Amigurumi toys are often made with tight stitches to ensure a smooth, firm shape, and they usually feature big eyes and exaggerated features that give them that cute, “kawaii” style. Whether you’re crafting a little bunny, a dinosaur, or a custom character, amigurumi lets you bring your imagination to life with yarn and creativity.
