Amigurumi cat doll with accessories! This adventurous little cat comes with a backpack, camera and printables to take on his adventures!

  • This pattern is worked in several pieces (ears, head / body / arms / legs, tail, shoe details and accessories (backpack and camera)). The head, body, arms and legs are worked as one part and don’t require additional sewing to join.
  • This project does not require a particular yarn weight. I used lightweight yarn (Infinity Hearts Rose 8/4) and a 2.25mm / 2mm crochet hook to create the doll pictured.

Please refer to your yarn label to find the appropriate hook size for your chosen yarn.

  • For this pattern you will need intermediate crochet and amigurumi skills, to be familiar with working in the round, working in the front and back loops, and know how to read written crochet patterns.

  • This pattern involves colour work.

This pattern includes the following crochet techniques and stitches:

Working in the round, magic ring, chain, double crochet (UK), half treble crochet (UK), increase, invisible decrease (instructions provided), front loops only and back loops only, slip stitch, fasten off and colour work.
