Hello. Now we crochet a cat amigurumi, beginning from the legs, rise to the body and head – all this knits into a single fabric. Ears, arms and tail are sewn. I used a bow to decorate a toy, you can replace it with a scarf or vest. The growth of the toy is 10 cm without ears.
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).
What will be needed for knitting:
- YarnArt Jeans, Gazzal Baby Cotton or Alize Cotton Gold.
- Hook №2.
- Filler – holofayber
- Needle for stitching.
- Yarn or floss for embroidering eyes and nose.
- Ear plastic sticks for fixing the neck.
Conventions:
- sc – single crochet,
- ch – chain,
- inc – increase,
- dec – decrease,
- sl st – slip stitch

Here I will add a video master class on the knitting process after I finish it. While you can watch on my Youtube channel other lessons and patterns on knitted toys and not only – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOsjgMSBWsJZckS-6tLHotg/videos
Legs
Crochet the two parts of the legs for the cat. On one piece, cut and fasten the thread. On the second – the working thread remains and continue to knit according to the body pattern. One foot (the one where the thread is cut) can be knitted in white, and the second in the color of the rest of the body.

Body and Head
Fold together the two previously knitted parts of the legs, continue to knit:
4 – Knit on the leg with a working thread (3 sc, inc, 2 sc) go to the second leg (1 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 2 sc), go to the first leg (1 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc) – in a circle 30 loops
