As a self-taught crocheter I may not know every technique in the world, but I do know how to make a cheeky bottom truly *pop*.
Crochet is what started Zuza Makes and it will forever stay a major part of the brand. Now that you can find more products, I can focus more on making each every single item super special and completely unique.
Crochet
Frogue Gang
Lanky Frogue
The most popular and proud member of the Frogue Gang. They also happen to take the longest to create!
These guys sport fully wired limbs - perfect for posing, hanging up and standing upright. He's got three fingers and four toes for extra silliness and expression.
Whether posed as a disco queen or monkey in a jungle, this Frogue will steal your heart with the embroidered smile and a perky set of cheeks.
Tall Frogue
The goofiest member of the Frogue Gang. These are the perfect medium between the Lanky Frogue and the Short Frogue.
You can hang this guy up by his long wired legs or bend them into pretzels. And just look at those four silly toes! The short stubby arms will make every position simply hilarious to look at.
This guy still sports the sparkly eyes and a cheeky bottom only a frog can have.
Short Frogue
The most compact member of the Frogue Gang. This little guy is effectively just a ball with a pair of truly enviable cheeks, short stubby arms and legs.
Each of his hands has three wee fingers. His feet are different to those of other Frogues, double layered and with three toes.
These are probably the cutest of the entire gang. Just look into their eyes!
Crochet Keyrings
Mini Frog
Perfectly round small green ball with a cheeky bottom. Happy or grumpy, dealers choice.
Mini Cat
Pointy ears and embroidered whiskers. Don't forget the grumpy disposition, a tail and a cheeky bottom!
Mini Pug
In a variety of classic pug colours, one can always fawn over their wee tongues!
Mini Bunny
Floppy ears and Miffy inspired mouths. And have you seen that fluffy little tail?
Mini Pig
Little snout and a curly little tail. You won't make bacon out of these, but you can squeeze their cheeks.
Mini Coo
Scottish special coo with a classic fringe and a hairy tail! Perfect cheeky companion this one.
Dapper Keyrings
Wether you're looking for a custom cheeky Frogue or a hand-painted denim jacket, here is how my custom orders work.

Catnip Toys
Don't worry about your cats ripping them to shreds! Crochet is more sturdy than knitted or sewn toys as there are no seams or obvious weakpoints where your pet can get their claws in and rip out a massive hole. Unless your cat can bite through sturdy DK yarn, you will never have to come back home to it having snowed catnip!
The best they can do is get a single claw in through one of the crochet holes, but even then the catnip inside is contained within a small cotton bag. Safe and secure!
Mice
Small, round and cute, each one packs a heaped tablespoon of catnip. This is the classic choice for most cats.
Rats
Large and in charge! Each one contains two heaped tablespoons of catnip for fun that will last forever. Perfect for a large tomcat or a maincoon.
Spiders
The newest addition to the roster, these contain a heaped tablespoon of catnip and fun spider legs for your cat to pull at.
Other Creatures
Catcus
Cat + Cactus = Catcus!
Have you ever noticed that both cats and catci can be rather prickly?
Each Catcus comes in its own terracotta pot. Don't worry though. I make the bottom "dirt" section weighted so that the Catcus can stand upright on its own. It also has a very satisfying crinkly texture.
Mice and Rats
I made the original batch of mice and rats for cats but pretty much immediately I started getting interest from non-feline-affiliated fans of these animals. As such - here they are! Perfectly cute, ready for cuddles.
The differences between these and the catnip toys are:
- No catnip inside (no minty hands too)
- Safety eyes instead of embroidered eyes
- That's it, they're pretty much identical otherwise!
