Moochi Moon

Hi there!

I'm Carolina, though many of my friends affectionately call me Kimi. As a Brazilian immersed in the vibrant landscapes of New Zealand, I find immense joy in living abroad and exploring new horizons with my partner Daniel and my cute dog Bilbo!

The journey into the world of crochet unfolded for me in my late twenties.  While my initial intention was to craft a cozy scarf, the allure of crocheted toys captured my heart when I stumbled upon enchanting pictures.

Delving into the intricacies of crocheting, I discovered a profound love for the craft, with a particular fondness for working with cotton yarn. The tactile allure and versatility of cotton yarn added an extra layer of joy to my newfound passion.With determination and practice, I gradually became more adept with the crochet hook, and now, my thoughts are constantly consumed by ideas for my next project! 

And so my small biz was created, and eventually I decided to name it MOCHI MOON!

I wanted a sweet name that translated the right feel of my work and also a bit of myself as well.  Mochi is a small round Japanese rice cake which I love. It's sweet, cute, comes in different colours, and it's very soft! Just like my amigurumis. 

The moon brings me a sense of calmness and peace, which is genuinely what I feel when I'm crocheting.

For some people, the moon is made out of cheese, but for me it's a big squishy Mochi!
