Our HAMANAKA Waffle-Stitch Crochet Challenge has come to an exciting conclusion! Over the past month, talented crafters from around the world have showcased their incredible skills using HAMANAKA yarns. We are truly amazed by the creativity and dedication of each participant who took part in this challenge.

Who is HAMANAKA?

About the Challenge

Calling all crochet enthusiasts! This event was inspired by our HAMANAKA Waffle-Stitch Coin Purse Workshop, where participants learned the intricate waffle stitch technique using HAMANAKA Amerry yarn. To build on the excitement, we invited crafters to take on a special challenge—creating their own masterpiece using the waffle stitch, whether it be a stylish accessory, a cozy home décor piece, or even wearable art!

The Crochet Challenge >>

To help participants get started, we encouraged them to watch our archived HAMANAKA Waffle-Stitch Workshop for guidance and inspiration. In the workshop, we demonstrated how to crochet a charming coin purse using HAMANAKA Amerry Yarn and a coin purse clasp —a great starting point for those new to the waffle stitch!

A Huge Thank You to Our Participants!

We received an overwhelming number of entries, each reflecting the passion and artistry of the crafting community. From beautifully textured pouches to stylish wearables, every submission was a testament to the endless possibilities of crochet.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated! Your enthusiasm made this event a truly special one, and we loved seeing your creative takes on the waffle stitch pattern.
