Our story

YarnDogs began with a simple goal: turn the joy of crocheting cute characters into clear, printer-ready patterns that beginners can actually finish. What started at a kitchen table has grown into a curated library of animal buddies, holiday minis, flowers, and giftable keychains—each one tested, refined, and written in plain, helpful language.

What we make

• Amigurumi animals & buddies (foxes, hedgehogs, giraffes, and more)
• Seasonal & holiday minis perfect for decor and gifts
• Flowers & home accents
• Keychains & quick wins
