Her grumpy smile caught millions of hearts around the world and her memes are known by almost anyone. It’s Grumpy Cat! With this premium crochet pattern you can now create your very own ‘most famous cat in the world’.
Tardar Sauce, the original name of Grumpy Cat, was an American cat which was loved throughout the world for her permanently and absolutely relatable ‘I wish to kill you’ smile on her face, caused by genetically conditioned feline dwarfism. She died three years ago at the age of 7, and her grumpy spirit continues to make people happy through hundreds of funny (dreadful?) memes until today. With over 2.5 million instagram followers, more than 8 million likes on Facebook and nearly a hundred million internet entries, she made sure that her grumpy face will stay in our minds forever. And with my Grumpy Cat crochet pattern you can now get the ‘worst’ of her spirit into your crochet hook too!
Crochet Grumpy Cat reaches a height of 12 cm and a width of 10 cm (made with super fine yarn). She is, therefore, perfectly suitable as a motivational eye catcher for your (home) office without taking much space. Because we all need some room for being grumpy in our lives!
