Let’s Start Crocheting!

Follow these instructions carefully to create the main body of your amigurumi cat:

Row 3: 12 inc (24)
Row 4: In this row, we crochet the paws and tail. Work yarn in the center. If necessary, make offset stitches.

- 11 sc, 5 ch starting from the 2nd stitch from the hook, 1 hdc, 3 sl st. Join the paw to the same stitch with a sl st.
- 4 sc. Finish the offset stitches, work yarn in the center.
- Crochet the tail: 5 ch starting from the 2nd stitch from the hook, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, join with a sl st. (24 stitches in total)
Rows 5-8: 24 sc (4 rows)
Row 9: Crochet the muzzle. In the center, in the 1st of 3 stitches, crochet a bobble stitch made of 3 dc. In the 2nd stitch, crochet a sl st. In the 3rd stitch, crochet a bobble stitch made of 3 dc. (24)
Rows 10-14: 24 sc (5 rows)
In Row 14, do not crochet to the end of the row, leave the yarn on the side of the toy.

- Fold in half. In the first stitch, crochet 2 hdc (in one stitch). Then crochet a sl st. In the last stitch, crochet 2 hdc in one stitch. Join with a sl st to the edge of the toy.

Crocheting the Upper Paws

Once the main body is complete, it’s time to add the adorable upper paws:

Attach yarn between rows 8 and 9. Chain 5 starting from the 2nd stitch from the hook, 1 hdc, 3 sl st. Join the paw to the same stitch with a sl st. Do the same on the other side.
