There’s something irresistibly charming about combining home organization with crochet. This Crochet Cat Sofa Arm Organizer is not only adorable but also practical—it helps keep your remotes, glasses, or phone neatly stored while adding a cozy touch to your living room. With its playful cat design and striped body, it doubles as both a decoration and a functional storage piece.

The cat’s body rests across the arm of the sofa, with its tail dangling and pockets attached to hold everyday essentials.

Materials Needed
- Worsted weight yarn in two or more colors (for body and stripes)
- Black yarn for facial embroidery
- Crochet hook size 4.0 mm (G/6)
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Crochet the Cat Body
- Start with a magic ring and crochet in the round to form a cylinder (this will be the cat’s body).
- Alternate yarn colors to create stripes, working in continuous rounds.
- Continue until the body measures approximately the width of your sofa arm.
- Stuff the body firmly with fiberfill to give it shape.
Step 2 – Make the Head
- Using the same striped pattern or solid color, crochet a sphere for the head.
- Before closing, stuff the head with fiberfill.
- Embroider sleepy eyes, nose, and mouth with black yarn.
- Attach ears (small triangles) to the top of the head.
Step 3 – Add Legs and Tail
- Crochet four cylindrical legs and stuff them lightly.
- Sew two legs on the front and two on the sides of the body.
- Crochet a long tube for the tail, lightly stuff, and sew it to the back of the body.
Step 4 – Make the Sofa Organizer Pocket
- Crochet a rectangle in rows using single crochet until it’s large enough to drape over the sofa arm.
- Create one or two pockets by folding part of the rectangle upward and sewing the sides.
- Sew the rectangle securely under the cat’s body so it drapes down the sofa arm.
Step 5 – Assembly
- Attach the head to the top of the cat’s body.
- Adjust the placement of legs so they appear to “hug” the sofa arm.
- Ensure the pockets are flat and strong enough to hold remotes or phones.
✨ And there you have it—your very own crochet cat sofa arm organizer! This playful project not only brightens up your living space but also helps you stay organized in style.
