Black Cat Crochet Pattern – Onyx the Witchy Cat

Onyx sits upright in soft black chenille with a cream oval patch down his front and a tiny dusty purple witch hat tipped to one side, resting against the base of one ear. A light lilac collar sits at his neck with a small silver crescent moon hanging from it. His amber eyes have black pupils, there's a dusty pink triangle nose above a cream W of a mouth, and pink blush brushed across both cheeks. His long tail curls out and touches the ground. 💗

This one is written for confident beginners — magic ring, single crochet, increases, invisible decreases, back-loop work and crochet-together joining, with no colourwork inside a round.

Head and body are one continuous top-down piece with a narrow neck, and the arms and tail crochet directly into body rounds as you go. That leaves six pieces to sew: two ears, two feet, the belly patch and the collar, plus the hat set on at a tilt.

Your download comes in English, in US crochet terms, with the materials list, gauge, assembly in order, troubleshooting and finishing details.
Onyx sits 23 cm / 9 in tall, 25 cm to the ear tips and 29 cm to the point of his hat, with the tail adding roughly 15 cm of curl.

Take it one round at a time — we've written every step to keep you company. ✨
