Plushie Cat Crochet Loaf Pattern (No Sew)
We have a super cute mini crochet cat plushie for you to have a go at this. These crochet loaf plushies are super quick to make. You can scale them up or down to match your yarn. If you use regular cotton to crochet, they make adorable keychains. If you use super plush, you get a cute plushie. The best bit? This Loaf Cat Crochet pattern is no sew (save for the loose end at the end.. and adding features). We have a Large Loaf Cat Crochet pattern for you too.. great for beginners!
Oh and did I mention this crochet cat pattern is also no sew? Hurray!
This is another great crochet project by Craft Alotl. You can get the printable version (with no ads!) on ONE handy printable page in her Raverly store – support of her store ALWAYS appreciated! 🙂 You will find many low cost patterns there! To help you and a her! Thank you.

Crochet Abbreviations used for this mini cat loaf plushie
We used American crochet terminology throughout. Also, we have a fantastic set of beginner crochet videos that you can browse at your leisure. These include everything from how to hold your yarn, to magic circles and how to do a half double crochet etc.
- MC – Magic Circle (also known as magic ring) – Magic Circle Tutorial here
- SC – Single Crochet

If you aren’t ready for the Bobble Stitch – try this larger loaf cat pattern (also free), it uses easier stitches!).
