Behind the Scenes of My Handmade Crochet Toys
Every single toy I make is 100% handmade and plastic-free. From choosing the softest yarn to the final stitch, this is how I bring joy to little ones, one creation at a time.
I love crocheting and I make many items. I started my crochet business at the age of 60 and I sell my creations all over India.
Shopping for a new project. I get so happy and excited when I am surrounded by all these beautiful colors of yarn.
Here I am in my favorite yarn shop, picking out colors for my next orders.
So many choices. I always use high quality yarn to make sure my toys are soft and long-lasting.
Crocheting from the hills. Even when I am on vacation, I love to keep my hands busy with my crochet work.
I love my work and creating new kinds of crochet items. Here I am with a sunflower I made.
This is how a crocheter's room looks. This is my creation of the past few days, all handmade and displayed in my home.
All these beautiful dolls are sold. It makes me so happy to know they are going to new homes. You can book your order for more.
The result of hard work. I feel so happy when I see all my neatly crafted toys together, and even happier that they are all sold.
An order complete. This big order of dolls and rattles is ready to be packed and sent.
About Made with Love: My Process
Making these toys is a slow, happy process for me. Each doll takes about 8 to 10 hours of careful, steady work to complete. Because I pour so much time into every stitch, I recommend booking your order at least two weeks before you need it to make sure I have enough time to finish your special gift perfectly.
My journey with crochet started late, but it has become my jaan (life). Every piece you see here starts with a visit to the local yarn shop. I spend hours picking out bright, safe, and soft cotton yarns. I do not believe in mass production, so every toy is crafted individually at my home.
Why Handcrafted Matters
When you buy a handmade crochet toy, you are not just getting a plushie. You are getting a piece of work that is plastic-free, washable, and safe enough for newborns to hug or chew on. I hand-embroider all the facial features, so there are never any loose plastic parts that could be a choking hazard for babies.
From My Hands to Your Home
I love taking my work out to exhibitions, like the one I did at Ashoka University. Meeting the parents and kids who pick up my dolls is the best part of this journey. Whether I am sitting in the hills or at home, I am usually working on a new order.
The Custom Process
If you have a specific idea in mind, let me know. Whether it is a doll that looks like your child or a favorite character, I can customize the colors, outfits, and even the hair to make it just right. Since everything is made to order, my schedule fills up fast. Please reach out early if you are planning for a birthday or a baby shower.
