Introducing: Cleo the Cat! She’s a little book worm and just loves hanging out on the shelves looking for new characters to be friends with.
Directions are as follows. I just whipped this out (since i generally just crochet and make things up as I go) so if you find any problems, please let me know and I will fix!
**PLEASE DO NOT USE FOR PROFIT** I do not mind you using the pattern, but please reference me as the creator. :0) Thank you!
