“THROW A BLANKET OVER IT!” Neither a blanket nor a little fence can contain this rampant kewtness. Make your very own little huggable action figure inspired by the cartoon character Catbug from Bravest Warriors.

This is a seven-page digital document of crochet instructions to make a Catbug doll, four inches (12 cm) tall. Pattern includes instructions for making accessories shown in photos above: oven mitts, a soft taco, and Sir Jeffers stick and Rebecca potato, chock-full of romantic tension. You can also change Catbug’s eyes to white ovals, if you prefer. Doll stands on its own.
