Cat ladies (and gents!) of the crochet world, we have a collection of free crochet patterns for cat lovers that are absolutely purr-fect. If you crochet daily, you are surely always looking for unique and creative crochet patterns to work up. These definitely fit the bill! After all, it only makes sense that cat lovers would combine their love for their furry felines with their love of crochet.

Make something cat-themed to wear so that the whole world will be witness to your obsession, like a cat ear crochet pattern or a fun scarf with a kitty head on it. If you prefer to make something that you can display in your home or give to a little one in your life to pass down a preference for cats, a cat amigurumi crochet pattern is a great option. But no collection of free crochet cat patterns would be complete without a crochet cat bed or crocheted cat toys among the mix. Your kitty will be so happy and feel so loved if you make them any of the crochet patterns below. 

At the end of the day, dogs are great, but cats hold a special place in the hearts of many crocheters. There's just something about the way they sometimes curl up on your lap while you're sitting on the couch with a crochet project in your hands. Make those moments even more special by crocheting something made especially for them.

My sisters and I had a get together in Nashville last week, and I realized I was the only one who didnt have a cat. Ive had cats in the past, but right now, we seem to have just about everything but a cat. Its been a delight browsing through these clever cat projects. Ive worked up a few, and sent links to others, and even found a few Ive not seen before. Thanks for finding all these!
