Mouse & Sparrow:
The most beautiful homes are made.
I believe your home should be more than a collection of things you bought — not a showroom, not a trend board, not a version of someone else's idea of beautiful. It should be a reflection of who you are.
That's what Mouse & Sparrow is built on.
Hi, I’m Claudia — lifelong crocheter, busy mum of three, and founder of Mouse & Sparrow.
I picked up a crochet hook when I was seven. But it wasn't until I became a mum — juggling three kids, work, and the general beautiful chaos of family life — that I understood what making something with your hands actually does for you.
Crochet became my calm. A way to reset, create, and feel like myself again, even on the busiest days.
And somewhere along the way, the things I was making started to change my home. Not in a grand, expensive way — but stitch by stitch, corner by corner, my home started to feel like mine. The colours I chose, the textures I picked up on a whim, the basket on the kitchen counter that I made on a Sunday afternoon — all of it added up to something that no shop could have given me.
That's what I want for you too.
What Mouse & Sparrow is for
Mouse & Sparrow is for people who want their home to feel personal — and who want to make the things that get them there.
Every pattern I design is beginner-friendly, finished in a weekend, and made to live in a real home rather than sit in a drawer. Baskets, plant pot covers, jar covers, wall hangings — small makes that add up to a home with personality, texture, and soul. You don't need experience.
You don't need a lot of time.
You just need a hook, some yarn, and the belief that you can make something beautiful.
Spoiler: you can.
