Every Dutch kid grew up with this lovable cat, and now you can make him yourself: Dikkie Dik!

Hopefully you(r kids) will have as much fun with him as I did making him!

Techniques and stitches used

• Single crochet
• Invisible decrease
• Increase
• Magic ring
• Slip stitch
• Joining body parts

The stripes on his back and head are embroidered, as are the nose and mouth. Dikkie’s eyes are safety eyes, but you can also embroider those.
There is a note about another option for his eyes in the pattern. For this option you’ll need white felt.

Hope you enjoy!
