Crocheted cats

These crocheted cats are the first crochet pattern I invented when I first started to crochet many years ago. The tummies have little poppers on the side so you can open them up and store things inside. They're basically a series of circles crocheted together, some single crochet for ears and some double crochet for the tail. Then a bit of hand sewing for the face. I stuffed their heads with cotton wool.

I tried selling them at the Christmas Craft Fair in Portishead once, for £5 each but no one was interested - what a travesty! They're all made with dishcloth cotton, one of my favourite wools.
