Meet Kate

The girl behind the hook, the yarn hoarder, and the one who turns a simple strand of yarn into something you’ll want to keep forever.

How It All Started

It began with a single skein of yarn and a YouTube tutorial. What was supposed to be a quiet hobby to unwind after long days quickly turned into an obsession — the good kind. I found myself staying up late, hands working on autopilot, completely lost in the rhythm of hook and yarn. Before I knew it, every corner of my home had a half-finished project (and honestly, it still does).

I started making little gifts for friends — a cozy beanie here, a plush amigurumi there. When people started asking, “Can you make one for me too?” I realized this wasn’t just a hobby anymore. It was something I could share with the world. Made With Kate was born out of that love — the joy of creating something by hand and seeing someone’s face light up when they receive it.

Today, every piece I make still carries that same heart. I pour time, care, and a little bit of my personality into each stitch. Whether it’s a custom baby blanket or a quirky crochet creature, I want you to feel the love woven into every loop. This isn’t just a shop — it’s my happy place, and I’m so glad you’re here.

What I Believe In

The little things that make a big difference

Handmade Always

No machines, no mass production — just my hands and a whole lot of love. Every single piece is crafted from start to finish by me, which means no two items are ever exactly the same. That little imperfection? That’s character.

Sustainable Materials

I choose eco-friendly, high-quality yarns whenever possible. From organic cotton to recycled fibers, I believe that beautiful things shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Small choices add up to a big impact.

Made for You

Custom orders are my favorite part. Want a specific color combo? A name stitched in? A plushie of your pet? I’m all ears. Every piece can be personalized to make it truly yours — because you deserve something one of a kind.
