I’m not sure how to name it! Please help me to pick the right name for the cat. Maybe Mittens?

Sew all details on the pillow
This is so cute. I have never made anything like this but I’m going to try. Is the pattern written in US terms? Thanks!
Yes, all my patterns are written using standard American crochet terms
I’ve started this pattern, it’s perfect for my cat-lover! But then realized I had questions. How do you attach everything, especially the tail? Where is the tail attached?
You should sew it
Do you have a Youtube channel as well with this kind of content on it? I would love to see this post turned into a longer video if possible. Maybe I can share on it on my website.
Thank you, but unfortunately, I didn’t make a video. My youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/BeautifulCrochetS/videos
That’s what I did!! My biggest concern was ‘where’ the tail attached, as there are no pictures of the back side. Perhaps a bit more detail could be added to this pattern? No real need for me though, I finished this in February, 2019. It’s super cute!!
