The Purrsly Pillow – Crochet Cat Pillow Pattern

This crochet cat pillow pattern has been a while in the making, but I love how it turned out and so does my daughter!

My daughter loves cats..like obsessed. But we don’t have any because my husband and son are allergic to them. So, we go with the next best thing…cat accessories!

We have cat stuffed animals and shirts and toys galore. But, my girl is growing up, so she wants to update her room as she heads to middle school and we thought this kitty pillow was a perfect addition!

It is named Purrsly after her first stuffed kitty, who still holds a place of honor in our family.

She loves the Bernat Velvet yarn and the simple style of the pillow and so do I. I hope you enjoy it too!
