Welcome to the crochet Halloween Cat is in Costume! This year, I have a swashbuckling surprise for you—three more patterns will join the special Halloween Cats, and today I am sharing the last one of this year’s edition! The Pirate Cat and the Pumpkin Cat are already up and today, finally, the Fran-Cat-Stein will join the crew!
Don’t forget to explore other spooky collections as well, like last year’s Mini Frank, Little Witch, and Chubby Black Cat amigurumi. They’re all sure to add a dash of frightful fun to your crochet projects!
This Fran-Cat-Stein is part of the Halloween Cats in Costume collection, joining the ranks of the mischievous Skeleton Cat, the spooky Mummy Cat, and the iconic Cat Dracula, and the adventurous Pirate Cat! Like the others, the Frankenstein Cat pattern is completely free and available as a written pattern on the website.
