Kitty With A Cat Hat Worry Worm Crochet Pattern

This Kitty Worry Worm was created because of a mistake I made ordering its head!

I made an online order for these beads with cats’ faces drawn on them, and when it arrived in the post, I was surprised to see that it was much bigger than I had imagined!

Here’s a lesson I learned… always check to see the size of something before you order it!

In any case, I liked how it looked and thought I’d better design a cute worry worm and a cat hat to fit this bead, and so I sat down while my kids were happily playing at a children’s festival and created Kitty with a Cat Hat :)

She even comes with her very own “Adoption Certificate” so you can gift her to someone you love and frame to Certificate with her/his name and date on it to make it just that more extra special :smile: (Sold separately)
