Crochet Cat Hacky
This instructable will show you how to make a cute toy which your cat will love. The pattern for the hacky itself is very simple and is a great canvas for practicing adding shapes and symbols to your work. When I made this I added a heart to it. You can add whatever shapes/symbols you want or just make the hacky a solid color.
