Free pattern: Halloween black cat softie

Amy from Positively Splendid shares a free pattern for making this Halloween black cat softie. You don’t have to use just black fabric, though. He’s pretty handsome made from a black and white houndstooth, as shown in her photo. A polka dot or stripe, or a dark gray suiting would also be good for Halloween kitties. Tie a pretty bow around his neck to make him even cuter.
