Find the complete pattern in Inside Crochet Issue #157
This calico cat uses simple colour changes to create the patched coat. The pattern can be easily adapted to make other domestic shorthair cats by changing the colours and omitting the patches.
EXTRACT: This sweet kitty was taken from Crocheted Cats by Vanessa Mooncie (GMC Publications, £16.99).
