This tiny cat is a lovely free crochet pattern. The cat has ears, tail and a embroidered nose. In the pattern, I double the threads to be able to make a two-tone cat. But you can use a simple yarn, with a 2.25mm hook. I embroidered the nose, mustaches and the eye outlines before stuffing. Enjoy this free crochet pattern !
This pattern is available in PDF on my Etsy shop for 2,40 euros to encourage me to continue 🙂
