Tesa's Crochet Critters

From Necessity to Passion

My grandmother taught me to crochet back in 2000. Back then, I didn't have the patience for the calm, repetitive work that crochet is. Now that calm repetitive work is therapeutic to me and I love getting to see the cool things I can create with my hands.

I dove deeper into crochet in 2016 when I was short on money and still wanted to present my family and friends with gifts. I broke out the yarn and got on Youtube to find so many cute and beginner-friendly tutorials to follow. Now I love to crochet purses, clothing, and accessories, but my specialty is critters. I enjoy bringing an item to life stitch by stitch. Now I even design my own critters-with a Florida flare.

Please check out my Florida Friends Collection. 15% of every pattern sale goes to a Florida wildlife charity. I'm proud of my state and the things that make it unique, especially the critters.

Please check out the following organizations that benefit from the Florida Friends:
