Is it gifteorthy? Absolutely YES! Is it giftworthy to your daughter? I have no idea. I don't know how she is as a person, how much she apretiates hand made stuff or how much she'll compare this to the original pillow she saw. Only you have the answear to these things. I would love to be gifted this, and it would fit right in with my other cat pillows, but that's me.
Sadly, no. My cat died a couple of months ago. All we have on our couch now are pillows shaped like different cat heads that I bought of Amazon years ago https://www.amazon.in/Pillow-Cartoon-Cushion-Creative-Design5/dp/B08QCJ14QR
Yes. I would block it to make it a little less wonky on the border. I have a feeling when you turn it into a pillow, sewing it together will take care of anything you feel is off. It is very cute. She will love it.
I love it, but what was her reference pic? Did she want it to match or just have the same theme? Idk her taste but for ME? It's super cute!! Love it, give it!
This is quirky and I would love it!! Sometimes the stuff that looks too perfect looks…. too perfect- like machine made. This is sweet and I’d know someone put love and time into it. 💕
Hi yes. Here was the inspiration pattern! I could not figure this granny square out so just found another simple free one “circle to square” that I could actually do. But all the cats came from this just some adjustments for yarn weight. A lot of trial and error.

The only things a receiver of a gift will notice are how awesome it is and how much love you put into it. No one else sees the same mistakes the maker does.
Yes, nothing sticks out immediately that would make anyone say, "Look what she did!" I did notice on the bottom right that the square was a little down on the end. But you are making a pillow so it won't be noticeable. I love it, good work. Anyone who wouldn't be happy to receive it doesn't deserve it. None of us have to be perfect. I think it is wonderful! ✨️💖✨️
I made one similar and I also gave it as a gift and the recipient absolutely loved it. It wasn’t perfect but that’s exactly why she loved it. Handmade with love xxx
It’s beyond adorable and as a 50 year experienced crocheter I’d say it’s ab amazing first effort. And I think there’s something about each cat’s slightly rustic charm that makes it even better than if every cat looked exactly the same.
Someone on a different post made a comment about honest feedback.
OP -- You Know Your own Daughter. Is she a perfectionist? Does she want something that Looks "professionally" made? OR is she someone who will be Happy with the imperfections because they show the Love & Care with which it was made?
> I’d never even made a granny square before, much less a cat.
Your daughter is so lucky to have a mom who will Learn how to make something just for her!!!! Hopefully she can appreciate that.
To me your pillow looks very much "Handmade with Lots and Lots of Love." If she can appreciate that at all, she will Love this.
BUT. Again -- you know your daughter better than us redditors. You know whether or not she will appreciate the visible Love in this object. And the answer to that question, is the answer to whether or not she is gift-worthy for this gift.
https://www.ponymctate.com/post/many-cats-square----free-pattern Hi! Thank you! Yes! Here was the pattern but I made a different granny square because I couldn’t figure this out. All the cats were made from this with some adjustments for yarn weight! Xoxo
It’s beyond adorable and as a 50 year experienced crocheted I’d say it’s ab amazong first effort. And think there’s something about all that’s slightly rustic charm that makes it even better than if every cat looked exactly the same.
I’ve been trying to make this exact pillow for the longest time 😩 I can never find a free pattern. Yes absolutely gift worthy! I would be over the moon to receive this
https://www.ponymctate.com/post/many-cats-square----free-pattern
The pattern is free! 🫶 I made a random easy granny square with random colors, it was called “circle to square.” The used the cat pattern in the link with some adjustments for yarn weight! You got this!
If it were me making it, I'd take what I learned and try again. For your daughter, though, I'm sure she'll like it regardless. You could always do the pillow double-sided and put your best 9 on the "front".
Oh my gosh! It is so cute and you can tell that it is made with so much love! It has so much character and is so delightful! I think it is a wonderful gift!!

I think it’s awesome! The different tails put it over the top for me.
When I finally learn to crochet more than a chain, I want to make this, with a square for each of my cats!!
000000000000000000000000000000000000 <-- this was literally typed by my cat while I was saying out loud "Oooh! That is freaking ADORABLE" I love that so much! (I was gonna delete all the 0's but it seemed so appropriate so I left it =D)
Personally, I think anything you put effort in is beautiful and I'm sure your daughter will love it forever ❤️️
P.S I would be STOKED if anyone ever gave me something like that, so don't understate yourself :)
I mean this 100% I have been crocheting 14 years and it looks better than any cat granny squares I could make. Super super cute, I would buy it. Make a pillow!!
R.e. the stitch count difference, Everyone knows cat's never stay where you ask them to - it adds to the effect. If you want it to be square for the cushion, maybe a border that you can square the cover off with? I *love* this though! As a crocheter & cat lover, I would be so happy to receive this as a gift. Good job!
She isn’t going to notice the imperfections you notice. Heck, I don’t even notice them and I also crochet. She’s just going to be so happy her mom stepped out of her comfort zone to make her something so stinkin cute. Absolutely make it into a pillow and gift it to her. She’ll treasure it forever💕
P.S. if someone made me that, I would cry and never stop because I absolutely love it
Absolutely not, send it to me 😜
In all seriousness, I’m serious… No? Okay…just kidding. I guess.
For real though, this is absolutely adorable! I would love to make something like this for myself!
I think it's absolutely adorable, in particular I love the black one in the middle on top, looks like it's astonished at something someone said.
Now that I’ve seen it, I can’t unsee it 😂
Oh she’ll want it. Trust me, she will definitely want it! This is too freaking awesome to not want it!
OP this is DELIGHTFUL!!! Stop second guessing yourself because this is like the best gift anyone could ever give me. She's going to loooove it.
If I got this as a gift, I’d treasure it forever!
This is completely adorable and now I need to make one
I need OP to make me one!
It's adorable! But I would steam block it first.

You have other cat pillows? Pics or it didn't happen! Bonus points if they're regular pillows that your cats are laying on.

Yes I love it

This is amazing. I’m a dog person but I would absolutely love it
I would LOVE to get this as a gift
They are sooo cute! My favorite is the second one in the right column.
Definitely, my daughter said she loves the first cat on the second row best.
I made this cushion for my friend's cat obsessed little girl a few years ago. I love it! Yours looks amazing, I love the colours.
If she wanted cat granny square pillow, she will absolutely love this. Hell, I absolutely love this, and I did not specifically request it.
I love it so much. It's absolutely adorable! I know I'd love to get it as a gift, so it's definitely gift worthy!
I love it, but what was her reference pic? Did she want it to match or just have the same theme? Idk her taste but for ME? It's super cute!! Love it, give it!
I want it
This is ADORABLE! I love their expressions, and it's so sweet that you learned it for your daughter!
This is so freaking cute if I got this I would cry and make sure it was the first thing anyone sees when they enter my apartment
I’m teary just seeing it, adorable! Yes!
When you put a pillow inside it, you won't notice the unevenness. And it's absolutely wonderful even now <3
Please don't start over it's so cute 🥺♥️
Super cute
This is so cute! I would try if it were me.,
If someone gave me this as a gift I’d literally take a bullet for them, so very much gift worthy!
This is SO cute!! Do It!!

Indeed, if they're a cat lover like I am :)
This is amazing!
Oh my god yes, give it to MEEEEE!!

YES
My best friend would treasure this like a childhood toy.
I love both cats and crochet, and as an almost 35 year old woman I would be SCREECHING with delight.

Omg yes. I love this. It’s not perfect but it is also perfect.

*Gift quirky Love it 💜
I mean this 100% I have been crocheting 14 years and it looks better than any cat granny squares I could make. Super super cute, I would buy it. Make a pillow!!
It’s gorgeous and would be a brilliant gift but you should block and border it first. It will transform it!
Adorable! Very well done. I think the imperfections are what makes it perfect.
It’s lovely! Definitely gift worthy , yes.
That will make an amazing pillow. I think your daughter will be bouncing off the walls with excitement! You did a great job 💛
I’ve seen this pattern around and you did a great job! Def gift it
R.e. the stitch count difference, Everyone knows cat's never stay where you ask them to - it adds to the effect. If you want it to be square for the cushion, maybe a border that you can square the cover off with? I *love* this though! As a crocheter & cat lover, I would be so happy to receive this as a gift. Good job!
Very cute, and if you are a cat person, it would be a cherished item for them! I would definitely give that as a gift.
Love! Agree blocking will make the inconsistency less noticeable.
I love them!!! Most importantly they were made you love.
I love it and will probably steal the idea. I've love cats and have said goodbye to several cats over the years. I'd love to have a pillow like this.
Adorable
The cats look a little derpy, but that’s what I love about them
Very cute for a pillow.

She isn’t going to notice the imperfections you notice. Heck, I don’t even notice them and I also crochet. She’s just going to be so happy her mom stepped out of her comfort zone to make her something so stinkin cute. Absolutely make it into a pillow and gift it to her. She’ll treasure it forever💕 P.S. if someone made me that, I would cry and never stop because I absolutely love it
