Over the weekend my younger sister turned 18 years old. For her birthday I made crocheted her a Pusheen birthday card because she’s a huge Pusheen fan and she really loved the Christmas card I made her. She even displayed it in her room and she never does that when I make her things. I really loved the way my card turned out so I decided to share the pattern with you guys so you can make for the Pusheen fans in your life.

– Dark grey worsted yarn
– H/5.0 mm crochet hook
– 2-3 blank cards
– Tape runner or double-sided tape
– Yarn needle
– Black felt
– Scissors
– No-sew glue

Card
Follow the pattern that I posted here
Ears (make 2)
– ch 7, sc 6 sts. Total = 6 sts
– ch 1, dec 1 st, sc 2 sts, dec 1 st. Total = 4 sts
– ch 1, dec 2 sts. Total = 2 sts
cut off
Sew both ears right before the row where the front loop stitches start. Weave in ends.
Tail

– cc to dark grey yarn, ch 1, sc 3 sts (x2). Total = 3 sts
– cc to light grey, ch 1, sc 3 sts. Total = 3 sts
– cc to dark grey, ch 1, sc 3 sts (x2). Total = 3 sts

– cc to dark grey, ch 1, sc 3 sts. Total = 3 sts
– ch 1, dec 1 st, slst last st. Total = 2 sts
cut off, weave in ends
Sew the first 2 rows of the tail down on the backside of the card.
Assembly
Surface crochet Pusheen’s marks with the dark grey yarn, I crocheted 4 sts and left 2 rows in-between each mark, weave in yarn strands.
For Pusheen’s face use felt to cut out her eyes, mouth, and whiskers. Glue down with a no-sew glue and press to secure felt pieces.
After you have sewn everything down its time to glue the cards down. Using a tape runner or double-sided tape, tape 2-3 blank cards together. Fold “hamburger style” to create the standard card shape. Open and place glue all over one side and carefully place the glue to the inside of the Pusheen card. Press to secure and lay open for the glue to dry. Done!
