Looking for the purrfect pattern? Start this one meow! These crochet kitties are simple, easy, and quick to make. This pattern is extra awesome because you can make each kitty super unique. Make each kitty a unique and fun color, give each kitty a special patterning (like stripes), or even replicate your own cat by changing colors to match your furbaby!

Head/Body:

In Main or Contrast Color

This pattern starts off by making the head, which leads into the body as one continuous piece. It’s up to you when to change colors! If you’re following the cats in the picture, the Siamese cat starts in brown from Round 1-4, and changes to light cream for the remainder of the pattern. The grey striped kitty starts in light grey, then changes to dark grey in Round 14, alternating from dark grey to light grey each round.
