Note: This is pattern is part of my Meowlloween 2022: The Hissing Dead pattern set. All four patterns are available individually and as a set.

Zelda the Zombie Cat knows it’s pointless to try to hide her zombie-ness. Even if she tucks her eye and intestines into their cavities, her ripped ear, detached paw, and missing foot give her away. She’s focused on her one true love: Braaaaains! Tragically, she trips over her intestines whenever she tries to attack, so she’s hoping a nice, slow rat wanders by soon…

Languages: English (US terms) and Spanish

Skill-level: Intermediate

This 17-page crochet pattern contains all of the instructions and photos you will need in order to create your own zombie cat, complete with interactive parts: an eye that comes out of its socket and intestines that spill out of the body! There is also an additional 8-page printer-friendly version of the pattern included. The head, body and legs are all crocheted as one piece, so relatively little sewing is needed! This pattern has been thoroughly tested and proofread to be easy to follow. You are welcome to sell finished objects made from this pattern.
