1 charm · 2 size options · 3D bead weaving · PDF instant download · [XX] pages
A sitting cat with a curled tail, worked in the round from one continuous thread so it comes out solid and seamless — no glue, no wire armature, no stuffing.
The stripes are what make it a tabby rather than a beige blob: darker beads placed in specific rounds across the back and tail, charted bead by bead. Big black eyes and a single pink bead for the nose.
Two sizes: a small one for a keychain, and a larger one that sits on a shelf.
