Pusheen the Cat Card ♥ Crochet Pattern

Over the weekend my younger sister turned 18 years old! They grow up so quickly! For her birthday, I crocheted her a Pusheen birthday card because she’s a huge fan of Pusheen. Afterward, she even displayed it in her room and she never does that when I make her things! lol

I was really pleased with how the card turned out so I decided to share the finished pattern with you all so you can make for the Pusheen fans in your life.

ASSEMBLY
Sew both ears right before the row where the front loop stitches start. Sew the first 2 rows of the tail down on the backside of the card. Surface crochet Pusheen’s marks with the dark grey yarn, I crocheted 4 sts and left 2 rows in-between each mark. Weave in all loose yarn ends.

After you have sewn everything down its time to glue the card inside of Pusheen. Using a tape runner, double-sided tape, or glue. Fold the card, ‘hamburger style’ to create the card shape. Press lightly to secure and lay the card open until the glue dries.

For Pusheen’s face, use black felt ad cut out her eyes, mouth, and whiskers. Glue down with a no-sew glue and press lightly to secure felt pieces.
