Cat Puppet

June 20, 2016 By Corina 3 Comments

Kitty Puppet - Free Crochet Pattern- Design by Stitch11

It all started with the Stitch11 Snake Puppet. It wasn't long before my daughter and I also designed the Puppy Puppet.  And now a few years later, my daughter still requests the puppy puppet during bath time. <3 When I told her how long she has had her puppet, she agreed that she really LOVES it, and requested I make a cat puppet too.
I hope the children in your life love this free cat puppet pattern too. <3

Stitches
Slip Stitch
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet

Medium/worsted weight yarn (I prefer Red Heart brands) I used red.

Repeat steps 1-15 for the other side.

Weave in ends and attach them to the face of the puppet.

Embroider the nose and mouth, and whiskers onto the face of the puppet.

Attach both sides of the puppet together. Make sure the clean sides of the puppet are facing out. Attach the red yarn to any outer stitch. Using the 5 mm crochet hook, CH 1, SC around to join the pieces. I put 2 SC into the corners of each arm. DO NOT crochet the bottom of the puppet closed.

    Great puppets. I made your puppy puppet, for my grandson. (3yrs) He loved it. I will have to make a couple of more, starting with your Cat Puppet.
    Thank you for the fun pattern.
