These adorable pocket worry cats are a sweet and simple way to offer comfort and support. Inspired by Guatemalan worry dolls, these tiny crocheted cats make the perfect little keepsake to tuck into a pocket, pencil case, or memory box. Whether you’re making them for a child missing their pet, a friend who needs cheering up, or just for fun, they’re sure to bring a smile.
This free pattern by Pink Sheep Design uses two colors of medium weight (4) yarn and a 4.25mm crochet hook. You can customize the face, sew or glue it to felt, and even embroider cute whiskers! Each cat is small, just under 2 inches, making them ideal as party favors, backpack buddies, or thoughtful tokens for cat lovers. A great stash-busting project and so easy to follow!
