First appearing in the menagerie back in 2016, Nousha the Persian Cat has become a favourite feline in the menagerie and has helped many crocheters to master the ‘loop stitch’ technique. Persian cats are considered to be one of the first breeds to be pedigreed, and their true origins are in fact a mystery dating back to before the 1600s when they were imported into Europe. This crochet cat is much less high-maintenance than its fluffy cousins, making it the perfect pet for life.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Nousha the Persian Cat, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
