Ben the cat is large and proud and Fabulous! He’s a little shy sometimes.

My example is almost 30” !!!

My example uses two strands of yarn to get him “fuzzy” but I have given you tips if you want to use different materials.

2021 UPDATE: I have heard you!!! All my advanced chart form patterns are currently being updated to a beginner friendly, fully written out form. Ben the Barn Cat is now updated to a 7-page fully written out pattern that is easy to read for beginners to advanced crocheters.

This is a big guy! But, with crochet you can custom this to make any color and make he a she and make a completely different cat. I give information on the yarn I used and how you can modify this to make your cat smaller.

I would love to see your cats made from this pattern so please tag me on IG @theburgundybasket #benthebarncat

This and all my patterns use US CROCHET TERMS.

You may make and sell products from my patterns, but please do me the kindness of linking back to my pattern and mentioning The Burgundy Basket with links where applicable to all the photos you put online.
