Cat crochet pattern

This measures about 9cm high (plus tail) and 13cm in length, when made with double knit yarn or about 15cm tall and 19cm in length, when made with aran yarn.
When I make this cat I use the Camel and White or Grey and White shades of Stylecraft yarn, but you can choose the appropriate colour to make your cat as desired. You could also make this cat in a single colour, ignoring the colour changes.
