About Mochi the cat
About Mochi the cat
Mochi the Cat may be plush and round, but he has a big heart—always ready to curl up in your crochet basket with a quiet purr and a lot of charm. With his chubby little body and peaceful garden spirit, Mochi feels like the kind of handmade friend who brightens the room the moment he pokes his nose out from your hook.
Mochi the Cat is an adorable PDF crochet pattern for creating your own delightfully plump, velvety kitten using soft blue-gray and white yarn. Written in English using standard US crochet terminology, this comprehensive guide includes row-by-row step-by-step instructions, high-resolution progress photos, a helpful abbreviation guide, and clear assembly directions for seamlessly sewing all the parts together.
Please note that this is a digital download only — no physical item will be shipped. Included for free: A whimsical, custom miniature blue fish bag accessory pattern to complete Mochi's charmingly sweet look!
