Handmade in Dorset

Little creatures, made with love

I'm Lily. I crochet animals and small treasures one loop at a time, from my home in Dorchester. Every stitch is worked by hand, so no two are ever quite the same, and that's exactly the point.

a warm hello

Loops by Lily is a small-batch crochet studio built on slow craft and a lot of love. I never set out to start a business, I just liked making things, and somewhere along the way it turned into this. Each piece is cosy, characterful and finished with care, designed to feel like a hug you can hold.

Why they're special

Made by hand, made to be kept

One pair of hands

Every piece is crocheted by me, start to finish. No factory, no shortcuts, just time and care.

Made to be loved

Cosy, sturdy and built to be kept for years, and loved a little more each time.

A little bit unrepeatable

Because they're handmade, no two are ever exactly alike. Yours is properly yours.

Fresh off the hook

A few of my makes

A little look at the kind of creatures that come to life here. New ones land now and then.

Made just for you

Looking for something special?

A particular animal, colours to match a nursery, a little name tag, I take a small number of custom requests so each one gets proper attention. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll let you know if I can do it justice.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet. If you take one of my makes home, it honestly means the world.
