Once you’ve completed these steps, fasten off the yarn and cut it. Take a moment to stuff your toy firmly. Now is the perfect time to insert the safety eyes (9 mm) and add a small nose if you wish. Finally, carefully close the opening to finish the main body of your kitten.

Ears

Now, let’s add those sweet little ears to your kitten.

Attach yarn to the head and crochet into the next single stitch (closer to the top of the head) hdc, dc, 2 ch, hdc, then into the next stitch sl st. Crochet the second ear in the same way, symmetrically to the first.
