It Took Time… But My Sakura Crochet Book Cover Is Ready 🌸

🌸Sakura Book Cover! 🌸

Hello lovely makers!

Hi again, and this time, I’m showing up with something new and very close to my heart.

It’s not my first pattern, but it’s definitely one of the most personal ones I’ve ever shared.

I’m so excited to finally share something I’ve poured my heart into, the Sakura Crochet Book Cover pattern is now available on Ravelry! 

🌸 Introducing the Sakura Crochet Book Cover 🌸

A beginner-friendly crochet pattern inspired by journaling.

This pattern is extra special to me. Journaling is a huge part of my daily life. I write everything down, thoughts, to-do lists, future plans, crochet ideas... you name it. My notebooks are basically my second brain (and I have a lot of them πŸ˜‚).

One day, one of my favorite notebooks started to wear out, so I decided to crochet a cozy little cover to protect it.

When one of my favorite journals started falling apart, instead of tossing it, I thought:

“Why not crochet a cute little cover to save it?”


(The image is AI-generated, so it might not look exactly like the real piece, but it captures the vibe!)

Around the same time, I was crocheting a sakura flower motif, and that’s when the idea clicked.
I didn’t follow any pattern. I just went with the flow, stitching while playing with a sakura flower motif. And I just let the yarn guide me.

Then I posted it online… and fast forward two years (yes, two πŸ˜…), it's finally getting noticed. 

And so many of you loved it and started asking for the pattern!

 After lots of starts, stops, edits, and pep talks, I finally sat down and told myself:
“Let’s finish it.”
So here we are. 

This design is perfect for giving new life to your favorite notebooks, or turning it into a meaningful handmade gift.
