Crochet Many Cats Square Pillow

I needed a project to use up some of my leftover yarns and picked the Many Cats Square pattern by Pony McTate.


I used mostly worsted weight yarn so I switched between using a G/4.5mm and H/5mm hook, depending on the weight I used and to try to prevent curling. Most of the yarn is Caron Simply Soft, Loops & Threads Impeccable Solids, and Red Heart Super Savers.

My squares came out 6"x6" so I only needed to make 8 squares to get the size I wanted.

Leaf Top

My goal is to make more leaf-themed stuff so as soon as I was done with the Dragonfly Top, I started the Leaf Top by The Knit Stitch. I used Loops & Threads Crème Cotton again but in Deep Orchid. I do like the color green but making stuff in pink or purple makes it more fairycore-like I think?

There are only 2 sizes so I went with the larger one, of course. The pattern is a bit odd though. Only the back panel is larger in width (rather than the front pieces) so not ideal for larger busts but I was able to make it work. 

I added 2 more leaf repeats but I should have done much more... because it ended up being more of a crop top length since I’m an E cup but I didn't really want to frog it. So I added more length by increasing by 80 stitches and then added several inches of some kind of eyelet stitch pattern.


I didn't have any fancy buttons around so I just used some basic wooden ones. I may change them later.

More details are posted on my Ravelry.
