Thoughtful shaping

Handmade warmth

A little frogging

Hi, I’m Barb.

I turn yarn into little personalities.

Totally Hooked is my cozy corner of the crochet world. I’ve been designing amigurumi since 2018, dreaming up original characters and shaping every detail until each one feels unmistakably mine.

After losing my crojo for a while, I’m finding my way back through fresh sketches, new patterns and the joyful mess in between. There’s usually coffee nearby, a hook in hand, and at least one round waiting to be frogged and tried again.

Totally Hooked is an independent crochet studio where every character is personally designed, crocheted, photographed and carefully tested by Barb Arsenault.

If my patterns and handmade characters bring you joy, you’re welcome to add a little something to the studio yarn basket. Your support helps with yarn, stuffing, safety eyes, photography supplies and the materials used to develop and test future designs.

There is never any obligation—following my work, sharing a pattern or simply cheering on a new character means just as much.
