Let's All Crochet

Hi, I’m Aki! I’m a crochet designer and coach, and my mission is to show you that you can crochet anything you set your mind to. I create patterns and tutorials that break down even the trickiest stitches into simple, easy-to-follow steps, so anyone can feel confident creating something amazing.

There’s nothing I love more than seeing someone finish a project using one of my patterns—it truly makes my day!
Crochet is not just a hobby for me—it’s my passion and my purpose. It’s a way to express creativity and create joy in the world.

As a coach, I love helping other crochet designers turn their ideas into well-written patterns that sell, grow their businesses, and create a business doing what they love everyday. Check out my other YouTube channel "Crochet Designing With Akita".

Whether you’re looking for your next project or guidance as a designer, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Thank you to everyone who messaged me about the strange robotic voice on my latest Rosebud Mist Ruana video!

I recorded and edited it fully in my own voice, but YouTube incorrectly added a synthetic dub over it.

I tried fixing it without taking the video down… but no luck.
So — I’ve reuploaded a clean version!

If you happen to see the robot voice on any other videos, please tell me — I really appreciate your help.

(I already know the Forest Leaves Cocoon Shrug is affected too.😔)

Thank you for your support and for watching my videos — it means the world to me.

🌹 New Pattern Drop!
Meet the Rosebud Mist Ruana — a cozy, elegant wrap that blends texture, drape, and comfort into the perfect everyday layering piece.

Inspired by early morning rose gardens, the puff stitches look like tiny rosebuds about to bloom, and the airy mesh keeps everything light, breathable, and beautiful. It’s feminine without being fussy — and it works up surprisingly fast in bulky yarn!

This beginner-friendly design includes:
• Size-inclusive instructions XS–7XL
• Optional pockets for practicality
• Optional fringe for extra style
• A comfy, flowy fit with no shaping, seaming sides is an option

✨ Watch the tutorial & follow along step-by-step:
