Cool Cats

Cool Cats includes 14 crochet projects on a cat theme. Each crochet cat pattern includes an introduction to the real life kitty the project was created after.

All patterns included in Cool Cats are rated as a BEGINNER skill level.

I believe some of the patterns might be on the challenging side for new crocheters (Beginners) because there is colorwork (mid-row) and shaping used in several of the amigurumi designs. Assembly is also required for some of the projects, including the Blanket.

  1. Love all the cat projects in this book. It would be hard to decide which to make first.

  2. I would love to make the grey kitty, but I would make in black for my two black kitties. I also love the rug.

  3. So cute!! I’ve made my son a couple of cats, but I think he’d like a few more. Some day I may get another cat myself.
    Baby Blankets – 8 Crocheted Baby Blankets would be awesome for a review from you

  4. What a lovely book, cats are my favorite animal. I want to make that cuddly cat tie. For your next review please do the Graphghan one.

  5. I just started making amigurumi so this book will definitely be used a lot.
