Rebecca Shaw
Made one for my coffee-obsessed friend
Gifted the fox one to a friend who lives on coffee and she was over the moon. It wraps her favourite mug perfectly and the shared base meant I whipped it up in an evening. Already making a second for myself.
Amy Turner
So cute on my mug
Quick, easy and it makes me smile every morning.
Chloe Martin
Love the shared base idea
Really clever having one base for all of them — once you’ve done it a couple of times the animals come together fast. A few of the faces needed a bit more shaping than I expected, but nothing tricky. Happy with it.
Lena Braun
The turtle video was so helpful
Started with the turtle and having a video to follow made it really easy. Came out just like the photo. Lovely little make.
Megan Price
Addictive little project
Made four already. Can’t stop.
Priya Rao
Good sellers at my stall
I make these for a local craft stall and they always draw people in. The variety means everyone finds an animal they like. I’d have liked a rough yardage guide, but they work up so fast it’s not a big deal.
SofÃa Núñez
Great for a beginner like me
I only started crocheting a couple of months ago and I managed the base first try. After that the animals felt totally doable. The instructions are clear and the US terms didn’t throw me at all.
Hannah Clark
Cute and quick
Sweet little makes. Would’ve loved yarn amounts listed, but easy enough to wing it.
Julia Bennett
Made a set as gifts
I made a little collection of these for my book club and everyone picked a different animal. They were such a hit and cost me next to nothing in yarn. Will definately be making more for the holidays.
Emma Doyle
The cockroach one is hilarious
Had to make the cockroach for a laugh and it went down a treat with my coworkers. Fun bundle with way more personality than I expected.
