Black Cat Crochet Pattern

Three crocheted black cats appliques.

This crochet Black Cat pattern is my next Halloween design. It will make a great addition to my other previously published Halloween patterns – the heart-shaped Spider, Bat, and Ghost!

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase from one of these links I will get a commission.

I like Halloween, but I don’t like the creepy part of this holiday.   That is why all my Halloween designs are cute and fun. More crochet ideas for this holiday can be found in this Halloween crochet pattern collection.   

The black cat is a classic Halloween character and a symbol of bad luck. But did you know that in Ancient Egypt people believed that black cat can bring their owner good luck?

By the way, if you want to attract good fortune, I have other lucky designs for you – a crochet Horseshoe applique and crochet Lucky Clover applique!

Using this crochet Black Cat pattern, you can create three different cats by arranging the applique’s elements in different ways. Perhaps you can come up with more than three cats?
