## About Cute Animal Friends

I use a dense crochet tension for all my animal friends, so they hold their shape perfectly whether they are 1.5-inch micro-charms or larger 5-inch desk buddies. Everything is stuffed with hypoallergenic polyfill, and if you want a buddy that can sit up, wave, or hold onto things, I can add internal wiring to make your custom plushie fully poseable.

Every animal I crochet starts with a simple idea, maybe a sketch or a photo of a pet you love. I mostly use semi-cotton or acrylic blends for that perfect stitch definition, ensuring your tiny friend looks just right. Since most of these are handmade to order, I pay a lot of attention to the details, like hand-embroidered blush marks on ducklings or little accessories like scarves on my polar bears. 

If you have a specific animal in mind, I am all ears. I have done everything from chunky capybaras with tiny oranges on their heads to detailed koala keychains. If you want a desk buddy that sits still or a keychain that tags along on your bag, I can finish them with secure lobster clasps or keyrings. For the tiny animals, I often use micro-crochet techniques to keep them precious and detailed despite their size. 

I run Tinieknits as a small, queer-owned business, so every piece is quite personal. When you order a custom animal, you are not just getting a generic plushie. You are getting something made with care, complete with a hand-doodled backing card if you are gifting it. I ship across India from my base in Goa and Mumbai, and I usually take a few days to stitch up a new friend once we settle on the design. If you have a wild idea, like a goose with a knife or your own pet as a mini doll, send me a message and let's see what we can make together.
