Crochet Santa Claws Cat Free PDF Pattern

Santa Claws came across me today as a very creative design product and I wanted to share it with you, my valued followers. I think the crocheted toy made in orange and red tones looks nicer than many Santa Claus designs. We see that the cat is made in orange and one of the cat’s ears is inside the hat, which is a very nice detail.
