Bee Cat Purrrsival HoneyClaws

Meet Purrrsival HoneyClaws, a friendly little cat dressed up as a bee for Halloween! Don’t let the costume fool you though. Underneath it he’s still just a cat with a serious case of the 3am zoomies and a passion for knocking things off shelves. The pattern walks you through making your own Purrrsival, complete with his colorful striped costume, hood, wings, and kitty tail. He’s a fun Halloween plushie with lots of little details, while still being an approachable, ND friendly pattern for experienced beginners. Purrrsival was designed to be neurodivergent friendly, with clear formatting, detailed instructions, progress photos, and extra clarification in places that can sometimes leave you wondering exactly what a pattern wants you to do. I’ve tried to keep the guesswork to a minimum so you can spend more time crocheting and less time rereading the same line five times. The pattern has also been peer tested by both neurodivergent (ND) and neurotypical (NT) humans for clarity and accuracy. **Pattern Features** • Written in US crochet terminology • Experienced beginner friendly • Neurodivergent (ND) friendly • Peer tested by both ND and NT humans • Clear, detailed instructions with minimal guesswork • Progress photos for guidance • Video tutorials for several techniques • Optional wired tail • Sewing and assembly required • Finished size is approximately 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide **Techniques Used** • Single crochet (SC) • Increase (INC) • Decrease (DEC) • Double crochet (DC) • Half double crochet (HDC) • Single crochet 3 together (SC3TOG), video tutorial included • Magic ring (MR), video tutorial included • Front loop only (FLO) • Back loop only (BLO) • Color changes, video tutorial included • Closing a plushie, video tutorial included • Crocheting through two pieces at once • Sewing and assembly **Materials Needed** • 3.25 mm crochet hook • Worsted weight yarn in black, purple, green, orange, gray, and white • Small amount of pink yarn for the nose • 20 mm safety eyes • Fiberfill stuffing • Darning needle • Stitch markers and pins, optional • 16 gauge copper or stainless steel wire, optional • Duct tape and jewelry pliers or wire cutters if wiring the tail The tail wiring is completely optional, so if you’d rather keep your Purrrsival soft and wire free, you absolutely can.
