One very creative Stardew Valley fan has spent over four months making the ultimate wearable homage to the cozy gaming sim. The beloved indie title by developer ConcernedApe has captivated many hearts in the nearly 10 years that it's been out. Many players cite it as being a large influence in their lives, bringing them joy in times of need. One fan has decided to bring the game into the real world so they can continue to enjoy it even when not playing it.
Reddit user juju-magumbo has created an incredible Stardew Valley crochet sweater, commemorating the game. The sweater is made up of squares, each of which features a different pixel image from the game. The gorgeous wearable took juju-magumbo over four months of work and plenty of yarn, and the responses in the comments are overwhelmingly positive and supportive of the creator.
Fans Agree Stardew Valley Sweater Looks Just As Cozy As The Game It's Inspired By
The Creator Modified Another Pattern To Include More Details
The Stardew Valley crochet cardigan-style sweater has an open front and many squares of different shades of pink, white, and a pastel sage green. Each square is made up of tightly worked double-crochet stitches for a clean and professional look. Finally, every other square has a different pixel pattern cross-stitched over it. The designs feature iconic Stardew Valley sprites, including a chicken, a junimo, various fruits and items from the game, and even the hat mouse.

How To Change Genders In Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley has a way to change genders in-game for any player who decides they want to switch which gender their farmer is but it takes some work.
Fans in the comments love the sweater, calling it beautiful and perfect, and encouraging the creator to continue making beautiful creations like this. Some comments half-jokingly mention that they want to buy one (or 14 of them), and it turns out juju-magumbo is willing to part with the sweater, for a steep price: "1000 prismatic shards and it’s yours."
Our Take: Fan-Made Stardew Valley Art Always Keeps Things Fresh
Stardew Valley has made its mark on the world in many interesting ways, both in the real world with fan creations like this sweater, and in-game with memorable and silly moments. The game has inspired players to recreate moments from it in various unusual mediums like gingerbread. There's even an entire FroggyChair Subreddit dedicated to the adorable froggy chair from the game, full of people recreating it in real life and simply heaping adoration on the cute chair.
This crochet pattern is a great place to start their journey to a new craft since it uses only one basic stitch. They cite Katelyn Mariko as inspiration, who posted a short video of their process of making their own version of the sweater on Instagram. The creator of the beautiful sweater encourages anyone who's on the fence about making something inspired by Stardew Valley to just go for it.
