    hello, i am having the hardest time with figuring out the tail portion of your pattern. Is there a video that shows what you mean in your instructions?

    Hello, Thank you for posting the free pattern. I am also having trouble with the tail – I don´t know what this means “Ch 3,1 tc3inc in stitches 1 and 13 together”. I understand placing 3 treble crochet in stitch #1, but “1 and 13 together” is confusing. Do you mean we are connecting stitches #1 and #13 somehow? If so, how do we get to stitch 13 from stitch #1? Or do you mean to repeat 1 tc3inc in stitch 13? I am officially stuck. Thank you.

    Many thanks for a great pattern!
    I’m crocheting both for my own cats and for organisations taking care of homeless cats. I bet they’ll all love them!

      I gifted some to my friends as well! It really is the perfect furry friend gift, so quick to make. I’ve been thinking of trying to fill them with a cat toy that jingles instead of polyfill? Might be worth a shot haha.

    Thank you for the pattern. I’m sending one to my niece’s cat Frankie. I hope she loves it just as much as the crocheted Christmas ornament she claimed as her own. It’s her new best friend!

    Hi, this pattern is purrrrfect and I so appreciate it!! I’m making them for people in my community when they adopt kitties and cats, as well as for a local rescue organization but is there a way to print it that I am missing somewhere? I would love to have it on a piece of paper, much easier for me to follow than on my computer! Keeping paws crossed I hear from you or see a reply here with a way to print this! Thank you again!

    I love this pattern and it is super quick and easy to make! I am still not sure what “slip stitch to join” on row 16 and 17 really means, as I am not sure what needs to be joined at those points. They are still turning out great despite that. 🙂
