My name is Mariana, and I create crochet toy patterns for children.

Everything started when my daughter was born. I wanted something soft, simple, and comforting for her to hold while falling asleep. So I picked up a hook and yarn and began creating small crochet lovey toys and snuggler comfort toys for babies.

These toys quickly became part of our everyday life — something to cuddle, hold, and carry everywhere.

My children have always been part of this journey.

For many years my son helped me photograph my toys. Now my youngest daughter proudly takes his place — she appears in almost all of my photos and helps show how children interact with these toys in real life.

Today I design digital crochet patterns (PDF) so other makers can create these toys for their own children or customers.

My patterns are especially loved by crocheters who enjoy making:

• crochet lovey toys

• baby security blanket animals

• snuggler toys for babies

• comfort toys for sleep

These toys are soft, lightweight and perfect for small hands to hold.

Every pattern is written clearly so both experienced crocheters and confident beginners can enjoy making them.

If you love creating handmade crochet toys for babies and children, you are in the right place.
