The little chubby cat loves to sit in the grass among the colorful flowers when the sun is shining. She would so love to catch one of the colorful butterflies to play with - but don't worry: the butterflies are much too fast for her.

The cat, crocheted as a shadow outline / silhouette, is a great eye-catcher on doors and walls and immediately creates a good mood with the cheerfully colorful flowers and butterflies.

The flowers and butterflies can be crocheted, even by beginners with a little practice, from your colorful scraps of yarn.

And of course, cat as a hanging decoration is also a loving, original gift for cat fans.
