A funny fluffy cat with huge round eyes, a long nose, thin wire arms, legs and tail, and a cosy scarf. The wire frame lets him wave, stand, sit or hold a treat – a cheeky character for a shelf or a desk, and a great gift for cat lovers.
A crochet pattern by Svetlana Pertseva with step-by-step instructions and photos. The cat is crocheted in moderately fluffy yarn; the whites of the eyes can be crocheted or made from polymer clay (instructions for both), and the scarf can be knitted or crocheted.
