Crochet Cat Assembly

  1. Use stitch markers to position the ears, then sew the ears in place.
  2. Working between rounds 32-33 of the head, create eye sockets with 10 stitches between them, then attach safety eyes.
  3. Apply glue to secure the nose between the eyes.
  4. Position and attach the legs to the body by sewing.
  5. Dress the amigurumi and adjust the clothing.
  6. For hair accessories (make 4): Start with a ring, work (chain 2, 5 half double crochets, chain 2, slip stitch) twice, secure with glue around the ears.

Crochet Tips

  1. For a polished look, stuff firmly but gradually, especially in small parts like paws and tail.
  2. Keep your tension consistent throughout to ensure all pieces match in size.
  3. Pay special attention when joining the arms and legs – proper placement is key for a balanced, lifelike posture. Don't forget to stuff a bit extra in the neck area for stability.

Assembly Tips

  1. When assembling your cat, pin all parts in place before sewing to ensure perfect positioning.
  2. Take extra care with eye placement as it defines your cat's expression. For a secure finish, use tight, small stitches for attachments.
