Welcome to the pattern for our Lulu Fluffy Poodle Cat Sweater. This sweater is readily adaptable to your practical needs and fit/style preferences. Compared to other sweater designs, it is relatively easy to size and fit and, depending on your individual cat, comfortable to wear and move in. It is suitable for cats who dislike items being placed over their heads.

You can purchase the 16 page written pattern (includes detailed instructions plus a printable abridged version) in our Ravelry store and view the accompanying video tutorial on the Catventurous Crochet YouTube channel. Charlotte & Melba wish you happy crocheting!
