Striped Halloween Cat Hat Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Striped Halloween Cat Hat 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

Every year around Halloween I try to 

design a fun and silly new Halloween hat.

I decided this year I wanted to make a black cat. 

But Black yarn is very hard to work with on camera, 

so I changed it to a striped cat hat.

You Can of course make it into a black cat,

 if you want too.

I designed that cat hat using Medium (4) Acrylic yarn 

from my yarn stash, in Halloween Colors. Purple, 

Orange and bright green. I really love it.

I gave it big eyes with a green pupil, 

yellow would be cute also.

You can make your hat in any colors of your

 choosing, or from Your yarn stash. Stripe it, make it

 Ombre, variegated or all one colors. It is totally

 up to you. 

It's a super simple hat to stitch up, and you can

 make it in just a coupe of hours. I did one while

 watching a movie last week. 

Just have so much fun!

 BJ The Scrappy Cat Pillow

 Crochet Pattern

*******************************

I had this cat in mind for a while, and thought

 September was a great time to make it for our 

Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern.

I chose all "Halloween" colors, and some white yarn

from my yarn stash and rolled them up into crazy

 yarn balls holding 2 strands of medium (4) weight

 yarn together. I love them and think the yarn balls

 are even pretty and perfect for a Halloween project.

I named him BJ Short For "Beetle Juice" and

 of course he is a scrappy cat. It measure about

12 inches tall, 24 inches around, 

 the perfect size for playing with or displaying 

as a Cute Halloween display.

The cat was so much fun to stitch up. I made it in

 2 evenings. I could hardly wait to finish it up and

 share it with you all. I just know you will enjoy

 making your own BJ, Just as much as I did.
