 Introduction
I would like to thank you, for choosing to purchase this pattern. I hope that you will be fully satisfied
with it and, above all, that the effect of your work will be exactly as you imagined. Remember that if

Finished crochet cat is almost 50 cm (19.6 inches) long with tail. His bowtie is removable, it can be
detached for every day usage and attached again for a special occasions - like Halloween that is
coming so fast :) and what could be a better accessory for a witch than a black cat , that you could
cuddle when it gets too scary..
