Hi, I'm Ayla

I started amigurumi with a gift. At university I crocheted my first toy as a present for my partner. That one toy turned into a hobby I couldn't put down.

When people who saw my toys started asking for them, the hobby first became a way to earn some pocket money and, over time, my job. Ayla Wan Gurumi is the name of that journey: I crochet each pattern I design in my studio first, then write it up as a PDF with measurements and round-by-round instructions.

I sell my patterns in English on Etsy and in Turkish on Shopier. My Etsy shop has passed 3,000 sales and more than 300 reviews, with an average rating of 4.9. On the blog I cover the topics beginners struggle with most. Some first drafts are prepared with the help of AI; no post goes live without being read and checked.

The content is written for adults who want to learn to crochet, choose a gift or plan their own amigurumi project. This is not a children's game site; the toys are meant as gifts and collectibles.
