A Comprehensive Organization System: The planner features 70 specialized pages, including WIP trackers, yarn inventory logs, and gift planners, all housed in an expandable, telescoping 3-ring binder designed to grow with your craft.

Focus on Creative Clarity: Beyond just tracking, the system is designed to reduce "decision fatigue" and overwhelm, helping you shop your own yarn stash first and keep track of hook sizes and pattern notes in one central location.

Encourages Project Completion: The planner emphasizes "momentum you can see," providing visual tools and monthly goal-setting pages to help crocheters transition from starting many projects to successfully finishing them.

If your crochet projects are scattered in bags, baskets, tubs, and the back of your mind, you’re not alone. And while having lots of inspiration is a gift… It can also feel overwhelming, unorganized, and sometimes discouraging.


That’s exactly why I created the Simply Hooked Crochet Project Planner, a beautiful, practical, joy-filled system that helps you bring clarity to your creativity and finally finish what you start.


This planner isn’t about becoming rigid or tracking every detail to perfection. It’s about creating calm, momentum, and confidence in your crochet rhythm, so you can enjoy your craft even more.

Why I Created This Crochet Project Planner

I design amigurumi patterns — and I know the feeling of juggling multiple projects while managing ideas, colors, yarn notes, pattern adjustments, and deadlines. I wanted a system that would hold all of that in one place:

  • No more digging through messages to remember where you saw the pattern.
  • No more buying yarn you already own.
  • No more forgetting which hook you used.
  • No more losing your place when life interrupts your stitching.

This planner was created to support your creativity, not add stress. It turns your crochet life into something organized, inspiring, and beautiful.

What’s Included in the Crochet Project Planner

Inside, you’ll find 70 thoughtfully designed pages to help you track, plan, and enjoy your projects with clarity and ease.

Key Pages Include:

  • Master WIP Tracker – See every project at a glance so you know what to work on.
  • Project Pages – Record hook size, yarn, colors, pattern notes, progress, and deadlines.
  • Yarn Inventory Log – Shop your stash first and avoid duplicate purchases.
  • Monthly Crochet Goals – Choose a few meaningful finishes each month, instead of trying to do everything at once.
  • Pattern Wishlist – Keep track of patterns you want to make so nothing gets lost.
  • Gift Planning Pages – Create thoughtful handmade gifts without the last-minute stress.
  • Craft Market Inventory Pages – Perfect for small business owners or seasonal makers.
  • Idea Sketch + Notes Pages – Because inspiration happens everywhere.
  • 5 Alphabetized Pattern Folders for storing printed patterns.
  • Lifetime Printable Refills via included QR code — print more pages anytime.

And the best part? It’s all housed in a telescoping 3-ring binder that expands as your creative world expands.

You’ll always know what you’re working on next and where to pick up your stitches — even after a long break.
