This Cat in the Hat amigurumi was created for my little one, who went to see the Cat in the Hat puppet show at a children’s theatre. He brought the cat with him and my husband took photos to show me how he was hugging the cat while watching the show. It is such a good feeling to know someone cherishes your handmade gift, isn’t it? The Cat in the Hat now sits at home with our many Dr. Seuss books.
One of the most important things we can share with our children is the love of reading! In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday tomorrow (March 2nd), we celebrate Read Across America. Read more about the event HERE. This dabber cat makes a perfect reading buddy, don’t you think? 😉
And what’s more? This Cat in the Hat crochet pattern is offered as a *FREE* PDF download in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday (March 2nd). All you have to do is say, “Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!” 😛
To make The Cat in the Hat, you will need:
- Crochet hook G/4.0mm
- Yarn needle
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Stitch marker
- #4 medium worsted weight yarn
