WELCOME!Hiya, my name is Kunbi, the maker behind Handmade by Kunbi.
I started knitting and crocheting at the age of 8 and although I abandoned the craft from when I was a teenager until well into my 30s, I pretty much hit the ground running when I decided to pick up my knitting needles and crochet hooks again. I haven’t looked back since. Handmade by Kunbi was born when I started getting custom orders and subsequently started writing patterns.
I’m a medical writer during the day, a wife and mummy to a very energetic six year old going on sixteen and a baby girl born in June 2018. I enjoy writing and I have authored a few blogs during different seasons in my life.
I’m a coffee lover who loves to read, listen to music, write worship songs inspired by a heart filled with awe and wonder for God, and hang out with my family. I enjoy laughing all the laughs and making people laugh.
To find out more about Handmade by Kunbi, head on over to the About section. I look forward to connecting with you 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Blessings,
Take a deep breath and let go of the stresses of the day. Sometimes all it takes is a moment to relax and recharge.

The pattern for this beaut of a cocoon cardigan is finally going to be released next week and it’ll be available free on my blog. I designed it in 2020 and for different reasons, I’ve had to hold off releasing it. Well, not anymore and I’m stoked to have it out there and see your makes 🙌🏽🙌🏽.

Life can feel like a race, but the beauty is in the moments we slow down and savour the journey. Taking things easy isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather a reminder to appreciate the simple pleasures and find joy in the present.
