If you’re looking for a quick, adorable, and seasonal crochet project for your pet, this Valentine crochet cat toy pattern is the perfect make. This beginner-friendly pattern creates a small envelope-style toy designed to hold a catnip sachet, and it works up fast with just a bit of yarn. It’s simple, satisfying, and ideal for scrap yarn or last-minute Valentine’s Day crafting.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to crochet the envelope shape step by step, assemble it, and add the catnip. It’s a great project for newer crocheters, a fun themed make for February, and a cute addition to your handmade pet toy collection. I’m also sharing video clips of real “quality control” from my cats — because no cat toy tutorial is complete without product testing.
Whether you’re crocheting a Valentine for your cat or just want an easy crochet pet toy pattern, this sweet little love letter is a fun one to add to your list.
