Free pattern: Kitty cat softie, meow meow!

July 16, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Editor’s Note: This pattern is no longer available, but you can find a similar pattern on the same site for a teddy bear softie.  I think this could easily be turned into the kitty cat by changing out the ear shape and removing the muzzle.

Sew Bold (formerly Little Foots) shares a free pattern and tutorial for making this sweet kitty softie.  I love this little guy so much!!  I want to make one in gray, in white, in black, in yellow, in pink, in aqua…  Go to the free pattern.

    I just found this page via Google and was super excited to find such a cute pattern.. But it seems the Little Foots site is now gone. 🙁

      Looks like she just moved her blog. The new blog has a new name, but luckily she has kept all of the old content. I’ve updated the link to point to the new blog. You should be able to access the pattern now. –Anne

    I love this pattern and tutorial but for some reason can’t print the pattern. Any suggestions? Thank you.

      I’m not sure why it wouldn’t print. I just went and re-checked the link. It’s a PDF pattern, so if you don’t have the Adobe software to read it then that might be the issue. –Anne

      It looks like the pattern has been removed from the blog. I was also unable to find it, though I do remember seeing it when I originally posted about it a year ago. There is a similar pattern on the blog for a teddy bear softie. I think it could easily be adapted to make the kitty. (Just change out the shape of the ear and remove the muzzle.)
