Crochet Pattern Booklet - The Kitty Cats

The Kitty Cats are a fun make, and they’re all the more special for being based on the real-life pet cats of Wee Woolly Wonderfuls’ fans. There are two to crochet: Dave, the cat about town and a loveable rogue, and Charlie, the ginger fleabag who is just a big bag of nerves. Each one has a character you’ll recognise if you’ve ever shared your home with a cat.

A bio for every cat

The pattern booklet gives each cat its own unique bio, telling you all about their personality, their likes, their dislikes and their traits. It’s a charming touch that turns a toy into a character, and it makes the finished cats feel like the personalities they are, so they’re a lovely thing to give to a cat lover.

The finished cats

Each cat is 32cm tall when it’s standing up to beg, and 20cm when it’s seated, a good size for a shelf, a chair or a cuddle. They’re made in Stylecraft Special Aran, with a strand of Special DK for the faces, so they’re soft and sturdy, and the yarn is easy to find in a wide range of shades.

What skill level?

It’s an intermediate pattern. You’ll need to be able to crochet, and to read a pattern, so it’s a good next project once you’ve made a few toys and are ready for a character with a bit of shaping.
