Hi
I love your cat pattern but I was wondering how do you down load it.
I must be missing something because I cannot find it.
Any help would be greatful
Cheers

I am looking to make the Cat Murzik pattern, but reading through it, it does not tell you to use the white for the paws or tail according to the picture or for how many rows. Also it says to 3/4 stuff the arms but no mention of stuffing when it comes to the legs or tail. Could you please advise. I love the pattern thank you.
In which round you insert the eyes ?
Which row to the eyes go?
Instructions for attaching muzzle?
Thanks very much
Thank you for this cute pattern.
Bonsoir,
j’ai enregistrer: Patron de Murzik de chat au crochet,
mais je n’arrive pas a faire le museau, cela fait un oval plat sans relief, comme faire
vous pouvez me repondre par mail, merci
Thank you for the pattern, love it
This is such a beautiful pattern, thank you.
Is there a separate pattern that tells when to change colors and more detail on your crochet technique?
Absolutely beautiful
