The Envelope Cat is unbelievably soft. It was designed specifically for chenille yarn and has a funky rectangular body shape that resembles an envelope — that’s where it got its funny name!

The cat comes in two versions. You can choose between a solid-colored cat with a heart on its tummy or a striped one.

You’ll need only two balls of velvety chenille yarn to make this kitty, plus a small amount of basic cotton yarn, 12 mm safety eyes, and a piece of cotton fabric.

The pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters.
