Hi there! I’m a professional amigurumi designer and voice behind Hooked by Kati. With thousands of patterns sold all over the world, I pride myself in writing innovative patterns that are easy for crochet artists to follow.
My overarching goal is to leave a positive and lasting mark on the amigurumi community that has so warmly embraced me.
I want to empower other amigurumi designers to fill the world with incredible, beautiful art, and maybe even grow a thriving business with it.
I would be honored to be part of your creative journey.

The Profitable Plush Track includes everything in Creative Freedom, plus professional-level training on how to write, test, and market patterns so you can sell them confidently.

Nope! The math we will be doing is nothing more than counting stitches and some simple division. Don’t think of it as “math.” I’m giving you the formulas to make any shape do what you want, and I promise to make it simple.
