Description
This make your own crochet animal kit holds everything you need to stitch a sweet little cat, and it comes with its own aluminium hook. The finished cat stands about 17cm tall, worked in white with a sunny yellow patch over one ear and a black patch over the other, plus black whiskers, a stitched nose and mouth and round black eyes. Across its chest it wears a small brown crossbody bag on a fine strap, a detail that gives it real character. In the box you will find white, yellow, black and brown polyester yarn, a bag of polyester stuffing, a pair of plastic eyes, a plastic needle, plastic stitch markers and an illustrated instruction booklet that takes you through each stage, starting with how to begin a crochet circle.
We recommend this kit for intermediate crocheters who already know their basic stitches and want a rewarding project for practising shaping and putting a small figure together. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves needlecraft, or for someone picking up a hook again after a break and looking for a quiet evening project with something charming to show at the end. Once made, the cat sits happily on a bookshelf, bedside table or desk, and looks as much at home on a windowsill as it does in a cosy reading corner.
The yarn and stuffing are polyester, the eyes are ABS and nylon plastic, the needle and stitch markers are plastic and the hook is aluminium, so the tools are light and well worth keeping for your next project. To keep your finished cat looking fresh, dust it now and then and spot clean it gently with a damp cloth, letting it dry naturally, which is good practice for polyester yarn. The neat printed box makes it easy to give as a present, and the finished cat is a sweet companion for a dresser or mantelpiece.
