I'm hopeless at embroidering the features so I opted for a plastic safety nose but I managed to add the whiskers and mouth with some black thread.
He is only about 20cm tall, but he took a whole afternoon to make and some bits were really fiddly, like his paws, the base of his tail and those dinky ears.
I was pleased with how he turned out and am itching to try something else now.
Recipe:
- Valentine's Day Cat Crochet Pattern
- Marriner DK red wool
- 9mm safety eyes
- 15mm x 11mm Triangle safety nose
- Black embroidery thread
- 6mm Satin Ribbon
- Trimits Supersoft Toy Filling

My word Annette, what a fabulous cat, so neat and beautifully finished off. I struggle with stitching features too {they always end up looking sinister) so your eyes and nose look fabulous, as do the whiskers and mouth that you did stitch. Hope Torquay managed to avoid too much damage this time xx
its so cute!
