A brand about creating art that feels personal & unapologetically different
We believe crochet is punk, flowers can be goth, and gifts made by hand hit harder.
About me
Hey, I’m so glad you found your way here.
Welcome to Kootsiko, my tiny rebellion made of yarn. 🖤
In Greek, kootsiko means “small,” but this corner of the internet is anything but. It’s where I turn thread into attitude with crochet patterns for flowers and bouquets that tell their own stories.
Every design has a bit of soul, a touch of darkness, and a wink of humor. Whether you’re here to grab a pattern, scroll through the blog, or fall down the Pinterest rabbit hole of inspiration, you’ll find something that speaks your language. Handmade, heartfelt, and a little offbeat.
So dive in. Make a mess. Create something that feels like you.
What I believe in
A few things shape everything I make:
💜 Handmade should feel personal
💜 Imperfection makes things interesting and honest
💜Creativity should challenge the expected
💜 Crochet can be rebellious
💜Good design evolves
💜 Materials matter, stories matter more
💜 Art should be useful, playful and beautifully weird
💜Handmade connects us in ways mass-made never will
Making, not mass making
Working with yarn feels like coming home. There’s a quiet rhythm to it, from the first chain to the last stitch, and it’s pure meditation with a side of mischief.
I love turning something ordinary into something extraordinary, one knot, one loop, one idea at a time.
Most of my yarn is locally sourced because I believe what we create should feel connected to the world that gives us the materials.
Every flower, vine, and bouquet carries a bit of Cyprus sun, a whisper of imperfection, and a story worth keeping. This work is my way of connecting with people and sharing something made with care.

Handmade is a love language
This is not just about crochet. It’s about connection, the kind that happens when someone makes something just for you, or when you make something and realize it’s completely yours.
That’s why I keep designing, so you can create things that speak louder than anything with a barcode ever could.
Grab your hook, pick a pattern from the shop, and make something that feels personal, useful and beautifully weird.
Quality that keeps getting better:
My Continuous Improvement Guarantee
Every pattern goes through my hands and hook, then continues to improve through real-world feedback.
