JET-PURRED MARSHMALLOW KITTIES AND BAG

This is request from a friend for Christmas. She is obsessed with cats. She requested 6 marshmallow kitties that are laying down and 6 marshmallow kitties that are standing up. The pattern for the bag is done using a graph. Each square on the graph is one single crochet stitch. I used sport weight yarn and a B crochet hook for the kitties. I used worsted weight yarn and an F hook for the bag.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn: White, red, gold, aqua, spring green, blue, pewter, silver sparkle, and perfect pink.
Sport weight yarn: White, black and pink
F and B crochet hooks
Polyester fiberfill
Tapestry needle
14-inch pink zipper
Pink sewing thread
Sewing needle
