This design was inspired by a fat red tabby cat named George, who has tiny feet. Only the ears are attached, everything else is crocheted in place. This pattern works up quickly and is easy to memorize once you’ve made it, making it ideal for selling at markets.

Measures 6 inches tall with #5 bulky weight yarn. Using #4 worsted weight yarn, 3.5 mm hook, and 8 mm safety eyes results in a cat about 3.5 inches tall. Using #6 super bulky yarn, 7.0 mm hook, and 15 mm safety eyes equals about 8.25 inches tall.
