Maneki-Neko, is a symbol that originated in Japan. In Japanese, maneki-neko means beckoning cat. The idea is that the cat is welcoming and greeting you. This lucky cat symbol is considered good luck **
I made this lucky cat plushie inspired by my sister who has a pen with a smol lucky cat sitting on top heheh
This pattern is quite an advanced beginner pattern due to some sewing required and the technique needed for the tail, but it makes a super cute, squishy, and chubby cat!
Happy crocheting!
