Hi, I’m Kitana
I make handmade crochet plushies of your favourite anime, gaming, and Sanrio characters, stitched by hand from my craft room in South Africa, shipped to people all over the world.
How this started
I started Chewy Creations in early 2024, right after I finished high school. But I’d been crocheting long before that. I taught myself on YouTube, one tutorial at a time, restarting pieces that went wrong, getting quietly obsessed with the magic of turning a ball of yarn into something cute.
I grew up loving anime, video games, and Sanrio, and I kept running into the same problem: the plushies I actually wanted didn’t exist. Nobody was making Kurumi. Nobody was making the weird side character from my favourite game. So I figured it out myself.
Chewy Creations is what happened next.
One maker. A lot of yarn.
Every plushie in this shop is crocheted by hand, stitch by stitch, by me. No factories. No bulk production. Just one young maker, a lot of yarn, and a lot of late nights watching anime while I work.
Anime characters
Date A Live, My Hero Academia, Genshin Impact, anything you love.
Gaming characters
Bring me your favourite from any game and I’ll figure it out.
Sanrio & kawaii
My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Hello Kitty, all the cute classics.
Originals
Cute animals, whales and a few weird little guys from my head.
If your favourite character isn’t in the shop yet, that’s what commissions are for.
Custom character commissions
Send me a photo of your favourite character from anime, from a game, from anywhere. I’ll turn them into a plushie made just for you.

Not ready for a custom piece?
I keep a rotating shop of ready-made plushies, anime favourites, Sanrio babies, and a few originals. New ones drop whenever I finish them.
Watch me make them
I post the whole making process on TikTok and Instagram. Time-lapses, behind-the-scenes, reveals, and the occasional crochet disaster. Come hang out while I work.
