Sure you could head out and buy your own inexpensive cat toy, but why not make your very own stuffed cat toy? This way you won’t only save a few bucks but as well you may feel proud knowing that you made your cat’s toy by hand. If you are interested in making your own stuffed cat toy, here is how you go about it.

The Way To Do It

So to make your own stuffed cat toy, you need to start by getting all the materials that you’re going to need. This includes yarn, a crochet hook, and a yarn needle. To stuff the cat you may use virtually whatever you need but fiberfill and quilt batting will work best.

Now to get the pattern you need two large rectangles for the body, 4 slim rectangles for the front and back legs, two squares for the cat’s head, and two small triangles for the cat’s ears. The tail is going to be crocheted differently so wait for that.

Now to start on the stuffed cat toy, you want to crochet all the parts together, and you can create the cat’s face by stitching on simple eyes. Remember that you don’t have to go into detail here because your cat is actually not going to care; you simply just need to make sure that it’s all going to remain together so it will not end up falling out all over the place.

Now once you have all the different pieces stitched together you need to create a long tail for the body. To do this you just want to crochet a long chain stitch cord and then come back with straightforward crochets to the body. Now you’ve finished your stuffed cat toy, although you can certainly add on more finishing touches if you like.

This is really quick and easy to make, and not the sole cat toy that you can make on your own either. There are heaps of other cat toys that are heaps of fun to make if you are interested, and it is a good way to use your time and your cat will certainly be grateful. Make a couple different toys so that your cat will always be entertained and having tons of fun.

Of course if you don’t have the time or resources for this you can just spend a pair USD and get your cat a toy.
