Designed with simplicity in mind, this beginner-friendly pattern works up quickly using basic stitches and minimal yarn. It’s the perfect small project when you want something satisfying without a big time commitment. With just under 10 yards of worsted weight yarn for the keychain version, it’s also an excellent stash buster.
One of the best features of this pattern is its versatility. By simply changing your thread type and hook size, you can create jewelry, keychains, coasters, appliqués, and more. The finished size varies depending on materials: approximately 1.75 inches with cotton thread, 3.25 inches with worsted yarn, or about 4 inches when using a double strand of cotton worsted.
Quick, cute, and endlessly customizable, this Black Cat pattern is perfect for craft fairs, party favors, or adding a playful handmade touch to your Halloween décor.
