Her story

Hi, I'm Madelyn

[Placeholder — Madelyn should write this in her own words.] I started crocheting because [reason], and the first thing I ever finished was [first project]. It was lopsided and I still have it.

These days I make animals with names and small wardrobes. Every one starts as a sketch and a pile of yarn on the table, and takes anywhere from an evening to a couple of weeks depending on how complicated the sweater turns out to be.

I make them one at a time, so what you see in the photo is genuinely what you get. If you want one in different colors, just ask — that's usually the best part.

Keeping them nice

Care instructions

These are made to be held. A little care and they'll outlast the kid who gets them.

💦

Spot clean only

Cool water and a drop of mild soap on a cloth. No washing machine — the stuffing clumps and the sweaters felt.

🎵

Lay flat to dry

Never the dryer. Press the water out with a towel, reshape by hand, and leave it out of direct sun for a day.

👀

Safety eyes locked

All eyes are washer-locked from the inside and every seam is double-stitched. Still, under three years old I'd stick to the ornaments.

Storing ornaments

Box them loosely with tissue between layers so the pompoms don't crush. They come back out each year looking new.
