The Weighted Crochet Snuggle Cat when finished measures approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) tall from the base to the tip of the ear and approximately 32 inches (81 cm) around at the widest point of the body. Yarn choice and stuffing technique may cause some variation from this measurement, but it is a larger project.

The pattern is primarily beginner-friendly with a few pieces that may stretch your skills a bit. Instructions for adding a weighted piece (either machine or hand sewn) inside the Cat allows for a proprioceptive component if used for play and also makes it a fun option to use functionally as a doorstop.

The Weighted Crochet Snuggle Cat is great for gifts, decor, play, cat lovers, using as a doorstop, and more!
