Velvet Cat Plush Crochet Pattern

Each cat I've made using this pattern ended up being around 7"-8" tall with ears and tail is 6"-7"

Got some velvet yarn in your yarn stash and no idea what to do with it? How about make a simple soft cat plush? I've decided to leave their face blank because I think it's cute, but feel free to add your own details such as doll eyes. What I like about this pattern is it's very easy and quick to build up.

For the collar, I used a leather thread and added a jump ring and little bell. 
If you want to make a flopped eared bunny instead of a cat, make two tails, do not stuff and flatten for the ears. Make an extra paw for the tail! :)

Aisha Plush Crochet Pattern

Aishas are my personal favorite Neopet! In the past I've managed to get my hands on some official merch but today they're harder to find or too expensive. I made an Alien Aisha for myself and ended up receiving some requests for the pattern so here it is so now you can make your own! This is fanart and made for personal use only.  --------------------------------- You can make most colors with this pattern. I recommend using a photo reference of your Aisha to determine what colors you will need. Mutant, Desert, Baby, Darigan, Tyrannian, and so on would need some alterations and add ons that are not included in this pattern, yet. Below are tips on how to make the Alien, Rainbow and Plushie color that requires multiple colors and a few extra steps. Alien   Body, Feet, Tail:  Make all white Neck and Head:  Pick up stitches with white and color change to green at the end or round 8. Ears and Antennas:  Make in all green Use embroider floss or you can needle felt the spacesuit detai

Lucky Cat Crochet Pattern

This is an old pattern I put together years ago and was made by making all the pieces separate and then sewing it all together. It was originally available on Etsy but I've recently decided to call it quits there and start sharing my patterns for free in this blog. Enjoy!  Supplies Yarn: Medium 4 worsen (Dk yarn will work too but the plush will be smaller) Yarn used in this pattern: Red Heart Super Saver- White (for entire cat), Cherry Red (for collar), Paddy Green (for bib) and Gold (for bell and coin) Hook: US 1 - 2.75mm will produce a cat around 9"-10" tall. Larger hooks will make a larger cat. Tapestry needle Scissors Felt (black and red) Embroidery floss (dark brown and pink) Stuffing Optional Materials Sewing needle and thread (if you choose not to assemble with yarn) Stitch markers (helps you not lose your spot in the round) Sewing pins (helps keep your cat secure before sewing) Plastic doll eyes (if you choose to opt out of felt for eyes) Felting needle and fibers
