I laughed out loud, in a good way, when I first saw this delightful kittycat design by Deb Richey. Folks, it doesn't get much cuter than this. While I'm not ordinarily a fan of cutesie crochet designs, I'd have to make an exception for this one.
This free pattern is available from the Caron Yarns website.
