Hello! Looking through pinterest, I came across cute felt cats, they inspired me to this pattern. That’s how I come up with new images – the inspiration can be a picture, another product or even a stain of “successfully” spilled tea. This cat has movable legs, a dress and shoes are removed. If you have questions on the pattern of how to Crochet Amigurumi Kitten, leave comments or write to the group on facebook.
Author’s pattern by Katkarmela. Post ready work and ask questions on the doll pattern in my group in Facebook or Instagram (links on the “About site” page).
