Crochet is a truly unique form of self-expression, and Anneli Xie and Aleksander Jaworowski will make you see it in a whole new light. This duo found viral success with their crochet brand Wool & Buggers, and their adorable designs will inspire you to nurture your inner child.
Xie and Jaworowski kicked off their crochet journey from their small student apartment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their brand Wool & Buggers was born out of a process of sheltering and homemaking after crocheting brought them peace during this difficult time.
“Wool & Buggers is a dedicated space for diligence and process. A shelter for failure and experimentation. Aleksander refining his fly-tying skills, Anneli dabbling in crochet and fiber arts. These two such seemingly disparate crafts that to us have become so intertwined an extension and elongation of who we are and what is sacred,” they write on their official website.
Wool & Buggers became a true internet sensation thanks to their silly crochet designs, often inspired by the animal world. They’re best known for their series of “Quack Couture” patterns inspired by ducks, and they’re encouraging all the crochet lovers out there to try recreating their designs. Many of their signature crochet patterns can be bought on their official website, in addition to being available on their Etsy page.
