Crochet Cute Cat Applique

I really like cats. Last time I recently shared crocheted cat coasters with you. And today I want to purpose you my crochet cat appliques. This is my own pattern and I really hope that you will enjoy it. I made it to decorate my daughter’s backpack. You can also use it to decorate clothes, a pillow or even a postcard. Using an embroidery needle, you can create different facial expressions. The cats are so different and so cute!

  • crochet hook 1.5 mm
  • needle for embroidery, black thread for embroidery, scissors
