You’ll need a medium-weight yarn, preferably in soft or pastel tones, to give your cat holder a cozy, plush look. Cotton or acrylic yarns are ideal for their durability and ease of use.

Use a crochet hook size that matches your yarn—usually a 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm hook works best. Check your yarn label for guidance or adjust for personal tension.

Have fiberfill or polyester stuffing on hand to fill the head and body, which gives the holder structure and helps it stand upright on desks or nightstands.

You’ll also need safety eyes or buttons, black embroidery thread for the nose and whiskers, scissors, and a yarn needle for sewing and finishing.

Optional but recommended items include felt for extra details, hot glue for securing features, and a stitch marker if you’re working in continuous rounds.

Laying everything out before you begin ensures a smooth crafting experience and helps avoid interruptions during your creative flow.

2. Creating the Cat’s Body and Head Base

Now we begin crocheting the base of the Crochet Cat Glasses Holder – TUTORIAL, focusing on the head and body, which form the foundation of the project.

Start with a magic ring and work single crochets in the round to build the cat’s head. Continue increasing until the circle reaches the desired width—this will form the face of your holder.

After reaching the maximum head width, maintain the stitch count to create height. This gives the head a dome shape. Begin decreasing toward the end to close the head, leaving an opening for stuffing.

Once the head is complete, stuff it with fiberfill to make it plump and stable. Don’t overstuff, or the shape will distort. Leave enough flexibility for the holder to stand upright.

Next, crochet the body cylinder similarly to the head but make it shorter and slightly narrower. This part will support the glasses and complete the cat’s form.

Attach the body to the head with whip stitches, making sure it’s centered and secure. The stuffed structure should sit flat without wobbling.

This solid base is the core of your glasses holder. It’s time to add the charm with details that will turn it from a shape into a sweet little cat.

3. Adding the Ears, Eyes, and Whiskers

With the main body and head finished, we can bring personality to your project by crocheting the face details of the Crochet Cat Glasses Holder – TUTORIAL.

Begin by crocheting two small triangles for the ears. These are simple pieces made from increasing rows of single crochets, and they can be slightly bent for a realistic look.

Sew the ears to the top sides of the head, adjusting their position so they’re symmetrical. You can lightly stuff them or leave them flat, depending on your style.

For the eyes, use safety eyes or buttons sewn firmly into place. Position them halfway down the head to give the cat a friendly, relaxed expression.

Use black thread or embroidery floss to stitch a little triangular nose. From the nose center, add three short whiskers on each side for a classic cat look.

You can also add small blush spots with pink yarn or felt circles to create a charming, warm effect—this is optional but adds great personality.

These features are what truly bring the piece to life, turning a practical object into a display-worthy decorative item full of cuteness.

4. Functionality and Finishing Touches

The beauty of the Crochet Cat Glasses Holder – TUTORIAL is that it’s both decorative and practical. Let’s finish the project with features that make it functional.

Ensure the head is firm enough to hold glasses without collapsing. You can reinforce the bottom with a small cardboard or felt circle inside the body for added stability.

The nose or forehead area should be wide and soft, creating a secure “resting space” for glasses to perch without sliding off.

Double-check that the cat can stand upright without tilting. Adjust the stuffing or base if needed for a balanced, flat finish.

Consider adding a weighted bottom by placing small beads or rice in a sealed pouch before stuffing. This helps the holder stay stable on desks and nightstands.

Use felt or yarn to create little paws at the base, which also work as soft stoppers for the glasses to lean against—cute and useful at the same time.

Your Crochet Cat Glasses Holder is now complete and ready to brighten up your workspace, bedside table, or gift box. Every detail adds to the charm and practicality.
