Black Cat Pillow

 

Available here is a pattern for a crocheted cat pillow.  This pillow paired with my boo pillow is a cute little set for fall.

Finish off. 

 Place pillow so that joining stitches are at center back, with 25 rust stitches on either side.  Fold between the 25'th and the 26'th stitch on each side.  Cut a length of the rust yarn, and using a large needle, sew the top edges together, sewing through the back loops only.  Tie off yarn and tuck in ends.  Insert pillow form and sew up the bottom seam in the same way.
