“Bitty Blizzard” Crochet Along Set to Launch in January 2026, Offering Winter-Themed Amigurumi Patterns
Table of Contents
A new crochet along, dubbed “Bitty Blizzard,” is scheduled to begin on January 5, 2026, offering crafters a series of free mini amigurumi patterns inspired by winter and snow. The project aims to provide a creative outlet during the often-dreary month of January, following the busy holiday season.
From Poll Results to a Blizzard of Creativity
The theme for the crochet along was determined by a social media poll, initially presenting four options – two Christmas-focused and two broader winter themes. According to the project organizer, the initial vote count was remarkably close, with the top three choices separated by only one vote each. “I was worried that having people vote to choose the theme may not have been the most effective option,” a source stated.
After a few days, a second tally revealed a clear winner: the winter/snow theme, which was then creatively rebranded as “Bitty Blizzard.” This name reflects the project’s focus on small, charming amigurumi creations.
What to Expect from the “Bitty Blizzard” Crochet Along
The “Bitty Blizzard Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along” will run for two weeks, from January 5th to January 17th, 2026. A new pattern will be released each day from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays serving as rest days. The patterns will be freely available on the organizer’s blog, ensuring accessibility for all skill levels and allowing participants to join at any time.
Following the completion of the crochet along, an ebook containing all 12 patterns will be released for purchase on platforms like Etsy and Ravelry. This ebook will offer an ad-free, printable PDF version of the patterns for those who prefer a consolidated format. However, the individual patterns will remain freely accessible on the blog indefinitely.
Supplies and Materials
The project will primarily utilize worsted weight acrylic yarn, with white being a prominent color due to the winter theme. The organizer recommends yarns such as Red Heart Super Saver, Loops & Threads Impeccable or Soft Classic, and Big Twist Value Worsted, but encourages crafters to use any similar weight yarn they have on hand.
Beyond yarn, participants will need standard crochet supplies, including a crochet hook, yarn needle, and optional safety eyes (embroidery can be used as an alternative). The small size of the amigurumi makes this a perfect project for utilizing yarn scraps.
