Cat Crochet Free Pattern Valentine’s Day Decor

A cat crochet free pattern is a perfect crochet home decor idea! Brighten your windowsill or bay window with this beautiful crochet Valentine’s day decor!

I designed the cat crochet free pattern to crochet a decor for Valentine’s Day. Since my four-year-old daughter is in the mode of loving cats, I surprised her with, not so real but hey, still cats! Lol.

My crochet cats are displayed on a cake stand which I have used in many other projects. One of my favorite crochet cake stand decor is a fall centerpiece crochet pattern. Also, a pine tree crochet pattern will give you an idea for a crochet decor for a cake stand.

Each cat’s body measures 6″ tall and their tails 8″ long.

Now, I’ll show you how to crochet the cat’s tail.

1: ch2

2: 6sc in 2^nd ch from the hook (6)

3: 2sc in each sc around (12)

3: (sc in next 5sc, 2sc in next sc) x2 (14)

10: (sc in next 5sc, sc2tog) x2 (12) stuff some fiberfill inside

11-13: sc in each sc around (12)

14: (sc in next 4sc, sc2tog) (10)

15- 33: sc in each sc around until the tail is about 8” long

Cut the yarn leaving a long tail. Slide in a pipe cleaner inside the tail and stuff some fiberfill around the pipe cleaner.

 

Let’s crochet ears for the cat and of course, make two of them for each cat.

1: ch2

2: 4sc in 2^nd ch from the hook (4)

3: (2sc in next sc, sc in next sc) x2 (6)

4: (2sc in next sc, sc in next 2sc) x2 (8)

5: (2sc in next sc, sc in next 3sc) x2 (10)

Cut the yarn leaving long tail.

 

Stitch all the pieces together to make a cat.

 

And, finally, crochet scarfs for the cats.

1: ch 4

2: starting in second ch from hook sc in next 3sc, turn

3: (ch1, sc in next 3sc, turn) repeat until the scarf is 13” long. Fasten off.

Cut six 4” long yarn pieces. Fold each piece in half and weave in three on each scarf’s short ends.

 

You can also sew on green buttons for the eyes and if you are a good embroiderer make some whiskers if you so choose. As you see I am not a good embroiderer so my cat looks a little demented, lol.
