‍Crochet Cat Amigurumi Pattern – Halloween & Fall Home Décor ‍

This crochet cat is perfect for fall decorations, Halloween displays, or as a handmade gift for cat enthusiasts! The 29-page pattern is perfect for beginners and includes a detailed photo tutorial to guide you through each step. It is so easy, you’ll want to make a cat for every room! ‍

The pattern can be adapted for multiple uses:

  • Sturdy Doorstop – follow the full pattern including the cardboard disk and added weight.

  • Soft Stuffed Animal – skip the weights and disk, and fill with soft stuffing only.

  • Decorative Figurine – create a charming home accent, weighted or unweighted depending on your preference.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Size: Approx.: Width 6.5’’ - Height 12’’
Format: Digital PDF download (not a finished product)

Materials Needed:

  • Yarn: Medium weight #4 acrylic yarn in two colors (Base color: approx. 140 yds, Accent color: approx. 50 yds-- I used Loops & Threads Soft Classic Acrylic, but any #4 yarn works.)
  • Crochet Hook: US H-8 (5.00 mm)
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Stuffing: Polyfill (or alternatives such as cotton quilt batting, yarn scraps, or t-shirt scraps)
  • Weights (optional, for doorstop version): Aim for 2–10 lbs (32–160 oz). Options include pattern weights, metal washers, or rice (sealed in a bag).
  • Safety Eyes: 0.5 in (1.2 cm) black safety eyes, or size/color of your choice
  • Cardboard Disk: To stabilize the base (a cereal box or delivery box works well)
  • Embroidery Floss or Yarn: For stitching the nose
