As a bona fide crazy cat lady it was only so long until I was compelled to make a cute kitty of some kind. I’ve
previously made Luna and Artemis dolls in the same style I make a lot of my Pokemon, but wanted to do
something with a bit more of an animal shape. I had a custom order last year for a Ser Pounce-a-Lot cat

amigurumi – a character from Dragon Age. That gave me the perfect opportunity to create this free crochet
cat pattern!

Meet Ser Pounce-a-Lot! The original custom order had tiny little felt armour as well, but this is just the plain
ol’ cat version, since it’s a little less time consuming. I also remade Luna and Artemis using the same style, to
show how cute they are, luckily there are plenty of cat characters to choose from.

This pattern is simple, though sometimes creating the small tube-like legs and tail can be a bit of a pain, and I'm able to keep this blog fr

for Ser Pounce-a-Lot I used an orange yarn with a darker orange to sew on the stripes
Luna I used a black yarn and then sewed a crescent moon on with yellow yarn
Artemis I used a white yarn and then sewed a crescent moon on with yellow yarn

I also ended up using coloured eyes with the Luna and Artemis dolls. I bought them from

encourage you to experiment!

Putting it all together

Now that we have all of the pieces crocheted it’s time to put it together. For Ser Pounce-a-Lot, or other
tabbies, this is the point at which I would sew on his tail stripes. I take a length of a darker orange yarn and

sew it around the tail a few times, skipping a row occasionally.

Then I pin all of the pieces together to get an idea of positioning. I attach his ears to his head first, and then
sew on the stripes on his head. He gets three on the top – the middle one dips down further than the other
two. Then he gets two stripes on either cheek, the top one is slightly longer than the bottom one. You could
also sew him on a little pink nose at this point if you wanted to, and maybe even some whiskers.

After the head is finished I sew it onto the body. I like to sew the head on before the legs because it’s easier to
position the legs around the head. Then sew on the legs and the tail – the legs can be a bit tricky, make sure
that you check them as you go to make sure that he can still stand. I usually keep the pins in while I attach
the pieces because I find it easier. The last step is to embroider the stripes on his back. Before you know it
you’re done!

*This was the point which I added Pounce’s armour for the custom order. I just cut up a lot of triangular shaped green
pieces of felt which were glued on, and then embroidered yellow yarn around the edges to create the detailing. Then I
went around his arms and legs with green, yellow and brown yarn to make his little cuffs.

I will definitely be making myself a small army of these little crochet cat from this pattern, maybe a couple of
mini-versions of my actual cats to keep me company at work (and if they’re anything like the real ones, knock
everything off my desk).
