Finding a crochet cat pattern on Pinterest is easy, but for those lovely images to successfully lead to an actual pattern may prove to be a bit of a challenge.
Each and every one of these cat crochet patterns has been traced and investigated at the time of writing. Because there are so many spammy/shady websites, I like to make sure the curated lists on Dimensions of Wonder are frustration-free!
If there isn’t a proper, working webpage to point to, it’s not a usable pattern anyway. Equally important is to give credit where credit’s due and link back to the original source.

Yarnplaza
This awesome long-limbed kitty looks a bit cartoon-esque as if he stepped out of a Tom & Jerry episode. Its paws are so cute and realistic! Not a big fan of the eyes being set so close together, though. How do you think his face would look with those further apart, the white snout a tad smaller and the nose a little lower?
Emma’s Animal Creations
The free pattern includes a few pictures, which might come in handy for beginning crocheters. Emma diligently and patiently answers questions by readers about variations or errors in the pattern. Can you picture this crochet cat in XXL, made with super bulky wool and a 15mm crochet hook? Yes, it would basically be a kitty pillow!
Little Bear Crochets
Check out the Litte Bear Crochet blog for a free pattern of this small cutie. Looks great in different colors too, there are pictures of light and dark versions – a striped one would not be impossible either, with a little creativity. Just replace some of the rows (whole or in part, to leave room for the face) with a contrasting color.
Crafty Bunny Bun
On Crafty Bunny Bun you’ll find a very thorough tutorial with many pictures for this kitty crochet pattern. It’s a great example of up- and downscaling the end result by simply changing the yarn and hook size.

Amigurumi Today
Amigurumi Today has this crochet cat pattern, which is possibly my favorite one of the bunch. Love the attached legs, and the scarf and hat – complete with a cat-ear-shaped top – are too much.
The face may need a personal twist, though. What’s with the trend to put the eyes so close together? And those sad eyebrows?
If you need inspiration for a different snout layout, how about something more like this swoon-worthy stuffed cat toy by Creepy and Cute on Etsy.
