About Karito Crochets

I’m Karol Rubio, the creator and hands behind KaritoCrochets. I’ve been crocheting for over 18 years, and what began as a relaxing hobby has now grown into a full-time creative passion.

My crochet journey started when I was pregnant with my daughter — I loved making cozy baby blankets and cute Halloween costumes. A few years ago, I discovered the joy of creating amigurumi plushies for my girls, and soon began sharing my finished pieces online. With the encouragement of my family and my wonderfully artistic friends, I took the leap and started selling my plushies at local vendor markets in late 2023.

Crocheting is truly my happy place — it’s both meditative and magical to watch each creation come to life, stitch by stitch. Some of my favorite makes include chickens, Totoro, and other adorable farm animals, along with fun seasonal characters inspired by popular shows like Wednesday, Stranger Things, and Sailor Moon.

I love connecting with my customers and meeting fellow artists who share the same creative spark. Every interaction and every new piece keeps me inspired to keep crafting joy, one plushie at a time.
