Don’t put away your Halloween things once November hits, Meowlloween is all year long! This 45-page crochet pattern contains all of the instructions you will need to create Vinny the Ventriloquist Kitty, including a rotating head and interactive mouth that opens and closes! The pattern includes 3 different options for the head and hat- your choice will depend on what material you use to control the mouth. There are 60+ instructional photos for this pattern, along with guides for special techniques, a printer-friendly version (19 pages), and instructions for left-handed crocheters when relevant. The pattern uses a two-column format and an easy-to-read font (size 14, sans serif) for easy use on a phone, computer, or paper. It has been thoroughly tested and proofread to be easy to follow. You may sell the finished objects you make from this pattern.

Because this is a digital pattern, I am not able to provide refunds for purchases (unless you have accidentally purchased two of the same product). However, I am happy to help with any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you!
