About Me

Hi there!

I’m Astrid — a Peruvian maker, animal lover, and crochet enthusiast who believes that handmade creations have the power to spark joy and create lasting memories. I live with my husband and a lively crew of furry and feathered friends — cats, dogs, and a flock of happy chickens — who inspire me every day.

I taught myself to crochet in 2019, and in 2022, I turned that passion into La Petite Crocheterie. My shop specializes in handmade crochet stuffed animals and nature-inspired creations, from cozy woodland friends to charming crochet mushrooms. Each piece is crafted with love, care, and attention to detail so you can bring home something truly unique and meaningful.

My designs are inspired by the beauty of nature, the warmth of my Peruvian roots, and the joy animals bring into our lives. I want every creation to feel like more than just decor — something that makes you smile, sparks a memory, or becomes the perfect gift for someone special.

When I’m not crocheting, you’ll find me spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, or gathering new ideas from the colors and textures around me.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet — I hope you find something here that makes your heart happy.
