Ears (Four Identical Parts)

We will crochet two pink parts and two white parts.
Start crocheting with pink yarn (YarnArt Jeans color 36), then the next part with white (YarnArt Jeans color 62).
Turn your work at the beginning of each row.

1. Row 1: 5 SC in MR, but do not form a ring, just pull tight. Turn.
2. Row 2: INC in HDC, INC in DC, TRC, INC in DC, INC in HDC (9). Turn.
3. Row 3: 4 SC, 3 HDC in one stitch, 4 SC (9).

Fasten off and cut the pink yarn. Do not cut the white yarn; join the white part of the ear with the pink part, wrong sides together. Crochet 4 SC, 3 HDC in one stitch, 4 SC (this should form a triangle). Without cutting the yarn, crochet 5 SC along the base of the ear. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Face Embellishment

1. For the eyes, take YarnArt Jeans color 53 (black). Cut a short length of yarn and separate the strand in half. You should have two out of four threads.
Embroider the eyes on row 13. The distance between the eyes is 5 SC. The distance between points 1, 5 and points 2, 4 is 4 SC. The height of the eyes is 2 rows.
Insert the needle at the base of the head and bring it out at point 1.
Then insert it at point 2 and bring it out at point 3.
Then return to point 2.
From point 2, bring the needle out at point 4.
Then return to point 3, passing the needle between the threads.
Then bring the needle out at point 5 and return to point 4.
Finish the eye detailing with eyelashes.
2. Embroider the nose. Count 2 rows below the eyes, embroider exactly in the center. The nose is 3 SC long (I made 3 stitches), 1 SC wide. You can keep the yarn attached and immediately proceed to step 3.
3. Make blush for the kitty. From the nose, move 4 SC to each side and embroider blush 3 SC long. I made 2 stitches. The blush can also be applied with pastels, if desired.
4. Embroider the mouth.
5. Sew on the ears between rows 3 and 9.
