Benedict is the second member of the 2024 Happy Scrappy Cat Project. During the course of 2024 a new and unique cat pattern will be released on the first and third Friday of each month. Benedict will be free to view and use on the Hateruma Handmade blog beginning January 19th, 2024. At that time the pattern will be able to be worked as part of a crochet along group at Hateruma Handmade Community on Facebook. I would be so happy to see you there.

If you prefer to work from printed patterns or you don’t want to wait for the free pattern to be available, please consider purchasing this ad-free PDF.

The Happy Scrappy Cats are all designed with #4 medium worsted weight acrylic yarn and a 3.0mm hook. I did not use more than 60g of the main color for any of the designs. Being a scrap project I began to use up random remnants in my personal yarn stash, there is no specific color or brand to recommend. Please choose colors and brands to your own taste, just make sure they are all the same weight.

Using the above suggestions, Benedict will sit about 7” tall.
