The book has already generated significant buzz, securing the #1 spot on Amazon’s Best Sellers in Crafts ranking even before release—and a reprint has already been decided due to early demand.

This book features a wide range of creative patterns, from the viral 'bouquet blanket' that magically transforms into a flower bouquet, to beginner-friendly small items like coasters and hair scrunchies. It’s a heartwarming collection that combines the joy of handmade crafts with the delight of gifting.

Packed with imaginative, customizable recipes that allow you to freely adjust sizes and floral motifs.

Turn it into a bouquet—just by holding it!

The 'Flower Bouquet Blanket' Taking Social Media by Storm

The 'Flower Bouquet Blanket' combines a circular blanket base with floral motifs.

It functions as a cozy lap blanket or shawl, but when you lift the center portion, it instantly transforms into a beautiful flower bouquet—like magic!

On TikTok and short-form videos, the surprising transformation and the act of gifting the finished piece have gone viral. It’s gaining attention not only as a perfect gift for birthdays and Mother’s Day but also as a joyful item that brightens everyday life.

A hydrangea flower motif that resembles a small potted plant—when unfolded, it becomes an adorable coaster.

From beginners to advanced crafters.

A variety of items to suit every skill level

Flower blankets made by connecting floral motifs offer immense satisfaction, especially in larger sizes. However, crocheting individual flowers can be time-consuming.

This book offers a wide selection of projects tailored to different skill levels. In addition to large blankets, it includes bouquet bags, neck warmers, and small accessories like coasters and scrunchies—perfect for first-time crafters. The book is designed to let readers enjoy and gradually level up their skills.

The charming round shape of the ranunculus—when spread out, it’s a warm blanket; when gathered, it becomes a festive bouquet.

Endless customization possibilities!

Create your own 'knit flowers'

The overall impression of your project changes dramatically depending on the type of flower—ranunculus, carnation, sunflower, rose, lily of the valley, and more. This book includes patterns for individual flower motifs and ribbon-like decorative 'blades.' You can freely mix and match your favorite floral designs with your preferred blanket base, allowing for highly personalized creations.

Use it as a convenient drawstring bag when going out, or present it as a stunning bouquet when gifting. This playful item offers two distinct looks depending on how you hold it.

Year-round enjoyment with season-appropriate materials

Use warm wool yarn for winter warmth, or lightweight cotton for summer air-conditioning protection. The book also offers material suggestions based on season and purpose, making it enjoyable for crafting all year round. Whether for personal use or as a gift, these projects are sure to impress.

★ Already ranked #1 on Amazon’s Best Sellers in Books (Crafts) before release!
