I want to share with you my crochet toy-cat
Hello, ladies!
I often knit toys for my children and in my first post I want to show you how to make a toy-cat with a crochet.
Yarn: Vanna’s Choice in Terracotta
Needles: Size 8 straight
For the body: Cast on 24 sts. Garter stitch 48 rows. Bind off
For the head: Cast on 14 sts. Row 1-15 knit. Rows 16-19 Knit 2 together, knit to end. Rows 20-23 Knit 1, K1 FB, Knit to end. Rows 24-37 knit. Bind off
For the tail: Cast on 16.
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: Knit 10, turn.
Row 3: Knit
Repeat rows 1-3, 3 times. Bind off
Take the body piece and sew to corner sides together. This creates the cat’s legs.
Sew the sides together at the other side.
Sew the 3rd leg and add the stuffing. Sew the 4th leg closed.
Fold the head over and sew 2 of the seams. Add stuffing and sew the 3rd seam closed.
To make the ears look more defined, I added a stitching line at the base.
Fold the tail in half and stitch closed.
Sew the tail and head on to the body.
Below you can find some photos as instruction for you.

What a wonderful thing to do for children. I guess you make eyes on this one for younger children, too, right?
