Cat’s Dream “Fat Prey”


Every cat probably dreams of prey this plump, and now you can bring one of these specimens home for your little house tiger.

so even as a beginner you can easily work through the pattern.

I’d like to share one of my latest tea light holder patterns with you here—this holder is very popular and perfect for spring.

For each egg cozy, you’ll need about 30 g in the main color and a small amount of green. The pattern is also suitable for crochet beginners.
