Tuxedo Cat Christmas Stocking (Virkad)

The little tuxedo bow and tail detail are just adorable—I’ve already hung mine up and it makes me smile every time I walk past. The crochet stitch is tight and sturdy, so it should hold up through many Christmases to come.

I’m not a crocheter, but the pattern was so clearly written that my first stocking came out looking like a proper tuxedo cat, whiskers and all. The little tail loop makes it hang perfectly on the mantel, and it’s already the coziest thing in our holiday setup.

The tuxedo cat’s little black bowtie and white chest panel stitch up so neatly, it instantly became the cutest thing on our mantel. I’ve already got requests from three friends who want the pattern for their own cats.
