Cat Nap Pillow
Cuddle up with the Cat Nap Pillow! This adorable decorative pillow is the matching pair to the Cat Nap Blanket -- both designs are included in my new book, Crochet Retro Blankets in 1 Week, alongside 19 other matching throw & pillow sets.
This pattern is best suited for advanced beginners. The pattern produces a decorative pillow is 11.5” (29 cm) wide and 13” (33 cm) long, and it has instructions to adjust for other possible sizes. It is worked row-by-row with color changes to create the cat and flower motifs.
The pattern is written in English using US terminology. It includes step-by-step instructions and images.
Materials:
5mm crochet hook
290 total yds (265 m) of aran/worsted/size 4 yarn (depends on size)
~150g polyfil stuffing
Scissors
Stitch markers
Bobbin holders (I used bobby pins)
