You know that feeling when a silly idea pops into your head and you just have to crochet it—even if it sounds a little ridiculous? Well, that’s exactly how this project was born. One moment I was watching a Marvel movie marathon, and the next I was sketching a tiny red-and-black suit… for my cat. Yes, you read that right. I made a Crochet Deadpool-Inspired Cat Costume, and it’s every bit as cheeky and hilarious as it sounds.
Let me tell you all about how I turned my innocent little tabby into the sassiest antihero on the yarn block.
I’ve always loved mixing geek culture with crochet, especially when it comes to pet wear. I mean, who says your cat can’t be a superhero? Or in this case… an antihero with a sharp tongue and a couple of crochet “katana” strapped to his back. I wanted this outfit to be fun, instantly recognizable, and just detailed enough to make people smile (without making my cat totally hate me, of course).
Crafting the Perfect Crochet Deadpool-Inspired Cat Costume
This crochet Deadpool-inspired cat costume brings together the fun and mischief of the beloved character with the comfort and style that your cat deserves. The combination of bold colors and intricate details makes this costume a must-have for any comic book fan.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Crochet Deadpool-Inspired Cat Costume
I started with the bodysuit. It’s basically a T-shape worked from the middle out—super beginner friendly. Just make sure you take measurements of your cat’s chest and back beforehand. You want it snug but not tight. I used single crochet for a firm texture and did simple increases and decreases to shape the neckline and belly.
The mask took a bit more patience. I shaped it like a half-hoodie, starting from the forehead and working back. The eye patches were made separately—just tiny white ovals stitched onto black ovals—then sewn in place.
The katanas were last and honestly the most fun part! They’re quick to make and give the whole look that hilarious final touch.

Measure twice, stitch once: Always check your cat’s size and adjust the pattern accordingly.
Keep it comfy: Use soft yarn and avoid anything too tight around the neck or legs.
Details matter: The little sword straps, eye shapes, and belt give it the recognizable Deadpool flair.
Make it your own: Add your own twist—maybe a unicorn patch or taco accessory if you really want to channel Wade Wilson vibes!
I know you’re wondering… how did my cat handle being turned into a sarcastic, sword-wielding antihero?
Honestly? Not bad! The bodysuit fit snugly, so he didn’t try to shake it off right away. The hood? That lasted just long enough for a few photos and a very dramatic stare into the distance (perfect Deadpool moment, if you ask me). The swords? Surprisingly stayed in place and didn’t bother him one bit.
After the photo shoot, I took everything off and gave him a treat. He forgave me pretty quickly
