Sleeping Cat Crochet Doily: An Easy Two-Part Video Pattern (No More Guessing From a Picture)

A little white cat curled up fast asleep on a lacy round doily, with a bright orange flower at her paws and a scalloped orange border all around. It comes from Crochet by Ruby, and her two-part tutorial has been watched more than 300,000 times.

Why Makers Love This Cat

• She shares it as an easy project for beginners, and she works close to the camera so you can see every stitch.
• Part 1 makes the cat, with pink ears, a stitched sleepy face and whiskers. Part 2 makes the lacy doily, the flower and puts it all together.
• Makers hang it on the wall, use it as a table mat or coaster, and one is adding the little cat to a baby blanket.
• It is a sweet gift for any cat lover, or for a child’s bedroom.
