Recently I wrote about crochet patterns for dogs. Not to worry, I didn’t forget about our feline friends! I have 3 cats in my house who all love crocheted items. They probably love them even more than my dogs. If you don’t have any kitties at home, you can always crochet for those at your local shelter. There are lots of things you can crochet for cats. Here is a roundup to give you some ideas!

This lovely, little flower applique uses the Lover’s Knot stitch (a.k.a. Love Knot, Solomon’s Knot, or simply Knot Stitch). The Lover’s Knot stitch is simple and lacy, which I love to use for clothing patterns to achieve nice drape. Never did I think I would use it for an applique, but it works very well to give the flower light and lacy petals. If you aren’t familiar with the Lover’s Knot stitch, please see the Lover’s Knot stitch tutorial before getting started. Crocheted in only 2 rounds, the flower is quick and easy to crochet. Crochet a few flowers and attach them to a headband or hat, or add pins to the backs and use them as brooches.

Crochet this scarf to add texture and color to your outfit, without the warmth. It’s so light, airy, and lacy, you’ll barely notice it’s there around your neck. To add just a touch of weight to the scarf, beads are used to create a subtle, fringe-like edging. The length and width of the scarf can be adjusted to be any size that you desire – from a little scarflette to a full size shawl.

So, you want to learn to crochet with beads? It is easier than you think. Adding beads to stitches you know is as simple as moving a bead to your hook as you’re crocheting a stitch and catching the bead in your work as you yarn over and close the stitch. Once you learn how to crochet with beads using one stitch, you can transfer the same technique to other stitches. This tutorial demonstrates how to crochet chain stitches with beads. Once you have a basic understanding of crocheting chains with beads, try crocheting single crochets with beads or double crochets with beads.

Are you ready to crochet your first doily? Here is a pattern just for you! Doilies can be intimidating, but this pattern uses basic crochet stitches and a slightly thicker thread to make a doily that is easy to crochet. Even though the pattern is easy, it doesn’t lack in interesting shaping or lace work. The doily has a classic look that even experienced doily crocheters can enjoy. If you’re having trouble crocheting with thread, feel free to try the pattern with a thicker thread or regular yarn first. Once you are comfortable crocheting with thread, try the doily with thinner weights of thread for an even lacier look.
