PATTERN: TOP-DOWN / LEVEL: BEGINNER

Create your own semi-seamless kitty crocheted in one go with only the ears and tail requiring some assembling.

For this project you’ll need:

Suggested materials:

• 3.5 mm crochet hook with medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) in the colours of your choice for the cat’s body and a contrasting colour for the ears and the tail
• A small piece of embroidery floss, super fine weight yarn (1/fingering) or fine weight yarn (2/Sport) for embroidering the nose and eyes OR
• Safety eyes or buttons
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Pin needles (to help attach the parts)
• Stuffing fibre
• Blush makeup (optional)
• A piece of satin ribbon to adorn the neck (optional)

Yarn information:

For this project, I used:

• Medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) Barroco Maxcolor 100% cotton from Círculo Produtos
• Fine weight yarn (2/Sport) Bella 100% cotton from Fios Pingouin

My abbreviations (based on US terms):

• MR - magic ring
• ST - stitch
• SL ST - slip stitch
• SC - single crochet
• INC - increase (2sc in the same st)
• DEC - decrease (sc 2 together)
• ( )xNUMBER - number of times you have to repeat everything inside the brackets
• square brackets - total number of stitches on the row

Tips:

• If you’re unfamiliar with any crochet stitches used in this pattern, try searching YouTube for “stitch name + tutorial.” You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly, detailed video guides.

• Rows without a mention of a chain between them are worked in continuous rounds. To keep track, use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each row.

• In crochet, yarn over (YO) and yarn under (YU) refer to how the yarn is wrapped around the hook when making stitches. Yarn over (bringing the yarn over the hook from back to front) is the standard technique and is used throughout all my patterns unless stated otherwise. Yarn under (bringing the yarn under the hook from front to back) creates tighter stitches and a firmer fabric. Using yarn under instead of yarn over may result in slight differences, such as a smaller final piece, more visible slip stitches, and a firmer, less soft texture.
