Free Crochet Masterclass March Cat

Free Crochet Masterclass: March Cat by Tanya Ershova @kotoklubok

In this tutorial, you can crochet a charming March Cat with a bright nose. The project uses any acrylic or cotton yarn. The legs and body are crocheted as one piece, while all other parts are sewn on. The nose is embroidered with bright yarn (using either the same yarn or mouliné thread). The entire cat is one color, while the face is crocheted in a different color. If desired, you can change the yarn color to make the trousers and jacket different shades.
