Coming up with a name of this simple, round, beginner kitty pattern has been a challenge. It sat nameless for a long time with just “cat pattern” on the document. But as I kept referring to it as “Blob Cat” with my husband, it slowly started to stick. So here it is, the Blob Cat.

This pattern is for crochet only.

Do not put this or any soft toy in a crib with a sleeping baby to reduce risks of suffocation.

You may sell products made by this pattern, but please do not copy this pattern for distribution or sale. That’s not nice (and slightly illegal).
