Crocheted black fairy cat plushie doll - Kitty Clara

Description

This crocheted kitty is looking for a good home where no one will mind that she has wings. ;)

She's crocheted from black acrylic yarn in my own pattern (the first animal pattern I ever designed, too!). Her wings are some sort of mystery yarn (acrylic, I think, but could be partly wool) with pipecleaners crocheted around the outside to give it shape. (The design for the wings came from a fairy doll pattern by kristieskids.etsy.com.) Her eyes are shiny yellow safety eyes by ChezMichelle.etsy.com. She's wearing an orange ribbon with a bell- my kitty has a bell, so I thought this one should, too. This doll also has a yellow plastic star finding glued onto her cheek, a black plastic safety nose, and her whiskers are thin black wire.

She's about 7 1/2" (19.1 cm) tall from the tip of her ears to the bottoms of her front paws, so she's the perfect size to sit on your desk or bed.

This cute kitty faerie is named after my own black kitty Clarabell, who was my model as I was designing the pattern. And like my own kitty, this one has some quirks: around the star on her face some of the fabric glue is slightly noticeable (it's actually more noticeable in the photos because of the direct, bright light- in actuality, it's hard to see), and her one wing is slightly pointier. Neither of these things are all that obvious, but I figured I should point it out. :)

I wouldn't recommend giving this doll to a very small child because of the wire whiskers and the pipe cleaners crocheted into the wings (these may poke out sharply with rough playing). If you would like a kitty like this for a small child, send me a convo and let me know- I could paint on the whiskers and leave out the pipecleaners.
