This ginger cat is one of the most requested tapestry crochet motifs: a round head, two pointed ears, a white muzzle and a few whiskers poking out of the frame. The chart is 16 stitches wide and 14 rows high.
Five colours are enough, background ecru included. Each eye covers two squares over two rows, which keeps yarn changes down. With DK acrylic and a 4 mm hook, the finished square measures about ten centimetres.
Sew it onto a cushion, use it as an appliqué on a tote bag or frame it in an embroidery hoop: a quick little gift for cat lovers.
