Brio the Cat Halloween Crochet Pattern

Crocheting this cute black cat in its red cape can be a fun Halloween crafting experience. Brio the Cat loves music especially played "allegro con brio" (lively and energetically). Most of the parts in this project are crocheted together, and only the ears are sewed on. I hope you have fun crocheting. Maybe listen to some lively music while working up this project?
