It’s time for yet another crochet animal showdown at AllFreeCrochet.com and AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns.com. Last month, when we asked you a very serious question — Are crochet owls or foxes better? — you overwhelmingly had the cute hooter’s back. Here’s our proof:
You had some pretty strong arguments for the beaked beauty.
My personal favorite:
Now, we have another crochet animal battle. This rivalry may be older and fiercer than owls vs. foxes, because it involves animals that are nearer and dearer to our hearts: pets. You live with ’em, feed ’em, love ’em, and for many of you, they are a member of your family. That’s right, people, we’re talking about puppies and kittens! How can you possibly choose? We don’t know. BUT YOU MUST!
While we all know the reasons you might choose a puppy or kitten when it comes to actual pets, the rules are a little different for crochet patterns. First, you have the baby angle. Puppies and anything baby-related are a recipe for adorableness. See our evidence here:
Bow wow wow! Did that sway your vote? However, cats are great for sassy, eye-grabbing patterns that work for any age. Check out this classy afghan:
Make it right meow and it will still look good in a girls’ room when she reaches teenage years! This afghan has a Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe.
We know you probably won’t be able to decide without considering your pet preference, but consider these awesome free crochet patterns before you cast your vote below.

If I were making something for a child I would definitely vote for a puppy hat but, I voted for the Cat and Mouse throw since I will make it for a friend and maybe a granddaughter.
Puppies. There are some great hat patterns for dogs that I just love. I am also more of a dog fan.
I voted for the black cat hat! Always see puppy hats around, not enough cat stuff lol
I voted kittens because honestly kittens are cute puppies are as well I happen to have a 9 month old miniature pinscher who is my baby but when I was growing up all I ever had was cats and kittens, I recently lost my cat Onyx whom was my best buddy for 9 years.
Puppies! I’m a dog person. Puppies, dogs are always happy to see you and greet you. Loving, playful and pure joy!
