What better pattern for a cat-lover could there be?
Craft Fair Bestseller
Made with soft super bulky chenille Cuddle Yarn and a 4.5mm hook, this loaf cat is squishy, beginner-friendly, and incredibly quick to work up.
I designed it to be no-sew, just like my popular Baby Turtle — because let’s be real, skipping the sewing step is a total game-changer!
This loaf cat is great option for craft fair sellers because it stands out on your market table, works up in under an hour or two, and is the perfect pattern to make again and again.
Although maybe I should be calling it a kitten, because it is quite a small cat. It measures under 3 x 5 inches! This just means that it’s very quick to make. You could even make these into keychains if you want.
Anytime you need to crochet multiples of something, like for gift bags as party favors, these cute cat toys would be a great choice.
No Sew Amigurumi Crochet Made Easy
Ask anyone what their least favorite part of crocheting amigurumis is and I bet they’ll say the sewing. This time-consuming extra step at the end can be really frustrating when things are not lining up the way you want.
So why not the skip the sewing? This No-Sew Loaf Cat Crochet Pattern allows you to learn No-Sew Crochet step by step. It’s so easy that even a beginner crocheter can do it!
When we crochet this cute loaf cat, we’ll use bobble stitches to make the paws and we’ll leave a hole to come back to when we’re ready to crochet the tail, so it’s made all in one piece. Easy peasy!
You can also practice your new skills on my patterns for a No-Sew Leggy Frog and a No-Sew Dinosaur. But did you know you could get a whole book full of MANY no-sew amigurumi patterns in the No-Sew Amigurumi Crochet Made Easy Ebook here?
