Crochet Cat Amigurumi

Find here a cute pattern for a little crochet cat!

---

Hi everyone! My baby sister just had a baby and she asked me if I could make her a crochet mobile! She has a tribal theme nursery. And this crochet kitten is the third amigurumi that I made for the crochet mobile. The crochet feathers were rather challenging to design! I wanted them to be small enough but to look like feathers anyway. I hope you will have fun making this cute crochet cat!

I hope you will enjoy and understand the pattern. If you have any questions, feel free to write to me. Don’t forget to join my facebook group where you can ask questions and share your work with me and other crocheters.

And feel free to share the link to this pattern on social media, as it really does help to support me as a designer. Your support means so much to me!

Pattern: How to crochet a small cat?

The Arms (make 2):

Work in rounds, do not turn unless specified. If needed, use a stitch marker for the first stitch of each round.

With the grey yarn and the 3.5 mm hook

Round 1: start 4 sc in a magic ring. (4)

Round 2: [4 inc]. (8)

Round 3: [1 sc in next 3 st, 1 inc] x2. (10)

Round 4: [1 sc in next 3 st, 1 dec] x2. (8)

Rounds 5 to 11: 1 sc in all st. (8)

Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing. Keep them for later.

I then use a hairbrush to brush the arms and make them fluffier. I used the same method for the entire cat. If you want a fluffy kitten, brush your entire crochet cat with the hairbrush.
