The Story Behind Our Crochet Magic
From a lockdown hobby to a nationwide community, discover how our Dadi-Poti duo is empowering grandmothers across India through the art of crochet.
The story of how it all began. From my dadi getting bored during lockdown to us building a community of over 140k followers and empowering other grannies across India. This is the heart and soul of Caught Craft Handed.
The pure joy on Dadi's face says it all. Here she is, having a little fun before showing off the adorable penguin and koala toys she just finished making.
About Our Story: The Hands Behind the Magic
Every piece you see here comes from a dadi’s hands, not a factory line. When you order from us, you aren't just picking a design. You are supporting a grandmother who is finding new purpose and joy in her craft, stitch by stitch.
How It All Began
It started during the first lockdown when my Dadi, Sheela, was looking for a way to pass the time. She picked up her crochet hook, started making sweaters and mufflers for me, and found the spark she had been missing. When I put her work on Instagram, the response was overwhelming. People didn't just love the products. They loved the story behind them.
More Than a Business
Fast forward to today, and we are no longer just a Dadi-Poti duo. We have become a pan-India team of talented dadis and nanis who have reclaimed their passion. We believe that age is truly just a number. Each of our items, from cozy winter sweaters to adorable amigurumi toys, is made with premium, soft-touch yarn that is gentle on sensitive skin.
Handcrafted for You
Because everything is made-to-order, we have the flexibility to customize colors, themes, and sizes to match exactly what you are looking for. We aren't a factory. We are a community. By choosing us, you are helping keep this traditional skill alive and giving our grannies a platform to feel seen, valued, and proud. We can't wait to make something special for your family.
