This pattern is available from witchwayworks.com for $5.00.

Intermediate

4.0 mm crochet hook
18 mm safety eyes (larger cat, safety eyes are optional)
Yarn, at least 1-2 colors. 1 color for the cat, and at least 1 color for the accessory, depending on the accessory you’re making.

I used Red Heart yarn for all my kitties and their toys. You don’t have to use this specific brand, but that is what the pattern is sized for.

Notes

All rounds through out these patterns will end in “sl st to beginning st, ch 1” unless indicated otherwise.

Sections of pattern written out in brackets are to be repeated x amount of times, where x will equate to the number indicated. For example sc, inc x6 means to repeat the pattern of sc, inc around the entire piece to the end of that round.

Cat’s ears, arms, paws, and tails are all made the same size no matter which cat body you pick. The Stout Cat will work out a little bit shorter and more rounded in the body. The same goes for their toys and hats. This is so you can easily mix and match as you see fit.

There is sewing in this pattern to attach ears, arms, paws, tail, hat, and cat’s toy. In some cases, some of the toys may need assembly as well. It’s small amounts of sewing (amount of space to be sewn wise), but it happens frequently.

In cases like the hats and toys, you don’t have to sew these on, it just makes it easier to not misplace them. You will come across sc 4 in mc. If this is challenging for you, try starting a row or so down where the hat would be at least 1 sc larger in the circle. (So start at round 2 instead of 1).

Sections you come across that say “(about) 6 sc” mean that if you come out one high or low here, that’s fine too. The difference could be as simple as where you and I placed our first sc in this round.

You will run into terms like:
mc = magic circle
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dec = decrease
inc = increase
FLO = front loop only
BLO = back loop only
F/O = fasten off

The beads I used are not required, I’m just bead obsessed.
