Description
Curling up in the menagerie for 2024 is Paddy the Black and White Cat, the perfect crochet pattern for any confident beginners looking to learn the ‘colour changing’ technique. While not a distinct breed, black and white cats make up more than half of the population of domestic cats. Their most common eye colour is green, they have an endless amount of nicknames and coat patterns, and one even holds a Guinnes World Record for the loudest purr! Whether you’re a cat lover yourself or are making for the ‘cat person’ in your life, this crochet feline is guaranteed to cuddle up on your lap for life.
TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
