Moving to Kenya Shaped My Approach To Pattern Design
This is why I design crochet amigurumi patterns that are simple, clear, and always within reach.
During the height of the COVID pandemic, my husband and I moved from Texas to the Kenyan countryside. Crochet quickly became my anchor as we adjusted to a new life, but getting supplies like safety eyes was a real challenge.
That frustration turned into a new design philosophy: creating crochet amigurumi patterns that only need yarn and a bit of fiberfill. No hunting for the prefect safety eyes means no supply stress, just clear, approachable instructions that help you crochet meaningful besties with what you already have.
Now, every crochet pattern I design is shaped by that mission: giving you confidence, calm, and joy in every stitch, even when life is busy.

Questions? I’m Here To Help
Whether you’re new to crocheting amigurumi or just discovering my approach, here are some questions to help you learn more about Patterns by Patsy.
If you know the basics like single crochet, increasing, and decreasing, you’ll be able to follow along. My crochet amigurumi patterns are written in plain language and include photos plus video tutorials to help you make the right stitches at the right time.
I design my crochet amigurumi patterns so you never have to guess what comes next. With clear step by step instructions, yarn-only details, minimal sewing, and visual support where it helps most, you can relax while you crochet and end up with a gift-ready amigurumi animal.
For my paid patterns you also get two extra supports that change the experience:
1. Peaceful Progressions (built into the pattern)
The pattern is broken into short, roughly one-hour crochet sessions and includes a quick prep list for each section. That means fewer interruptions, easy wins as you go, and steady progress without losing your place.
2. Peaceful Progressions Planner (separate PDF bonus)
This downloadable planner helps you turn the finished animal into a thoughtful gift. It includes ideas for personal touches, a simple timeline to finish before an event, and tips for packaging so your project becomes a memorable keepsake.
My free Puppy Dog pattern does not include Peaceful Progressions or the planner, but I’m working to fix that so you can see the difference before you buy.
Yes! Every pattern includes step-by-step photos, and video tutorials so you can actually see what to do. You’ll never have to sit there wondering if you’re doing it right.
All my crochet amigurumi patterns are designed with yarn-only details instead of safety eyes. This makes them safer for little ones (no small parts) and simpler for you to complete. Yarn eyes also mean you’ll never have to worry about finding the right size or placement, just a cute, safe, and gift-ready amigurumi every time.
Want to learn how to crochet yarn eyes? Check out this tutorial on my YouTube channel. You can also watch this tutorial on how I sew on yarn eyes to my amigurumi animals.
All you need is yarn, fiberfill, a crochet hook, and a yarn needle. No hunting for extra parts, no special tools. You can get started with what you already have on hand and easily travel with your project, making it easier to squeeze in some crocheting on the go.
