Unfortunately, this pattern is no longer available.

Bayou Billy is a wild and wacky cat designed in the primitive style. Billy is about 7 inches tall. Use 2 strands of punch thread (available from www.tedsfromthreads.com) held together, or size 10 thread with a size 7 hook to crochet this crazy cat character. You can make Billy larger or smaller by varying size of the thread/yarn and hook that you use. Billy’s overalls are incorporated as part of his body, and are not removable. The little bandana is removable.
