If you’re looking for a crochet black cat to make for Halloween, I’ve found 12 free patterns worth checking out. There’s a really good mix too, from cute mini makes and amigurumi cats to a pillow, costume and squishy plush.
Some are quick and simple, like the little applique and keychain, while others make more of a statement. You can crochet a black cat hat, treat bag, basket or even a nearly no-sew witchy cat complete with her own broom.
I especially love how different all the faces and personalities are. You’ve got bright eyes, whiskers, pointy ears and even one cat hiding under a ghost costume, so there are plenty of fun Halloween ideas without every pattern feeling the same.
