Amigurumi White Cat Pattern 1. Head (White Yarn) Pay close attention to where the eyes will be placed while crocheting the head. The cat has a flat head structure with chubby cheeks. Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (30) Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (42) Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (48) Round 9-13: 48 sc (48) (5 rounds total) Round 14 (For cheek definition): 12 sc, (1 inc, 1 sc) * 4, 8 sc, (1 sc, 1 inc) * 4, 12 sc (56) Round 15-17: 56 sc (56) (3 rounds) Note: Insert the safety eyes between rounds 13 and 14, leaving about 8-9 stitches of space between them. Round 18: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 8 (48) Round 19: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (42) Round 20: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (36) Round 21: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (30) -> Start stuffing the head firmly with fiberfill. Round 22: (1 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (24) Round 23: 12 dec (12) Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
2. Body (White Yarn) Since the cat is in a sitting position, the body is pear-shaped, widening towards the bottom. Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (30) Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (42) Round 8-14: 42 sc (42) (7 rounds) Round 15: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (36) Round 16-17: 36 sc (36) (2 rounds) Round 18: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (30) Round 19-21: 30 sc (30) (3 rounds) Round 22: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (24) Round 23: 24 sc (24) (1 round) Stuff the body with fiberfill. If you are using a wire frame, insert the wire at this stage and stuff around it. 3. Front Legs (Make 2 - White Yarn) The cat's paws are prominent and chubby. Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4-6: 18 sc (18) (3 rounds) Round 7: 3 dec, 12 sc (15) (These decreases form the front of the paw) Round 8: 2 dec, 11 sc (13) Round 9-22: 13 sc (13) (Crochet straight for 14 rounds) Stuff the paw area firmly, but stuff the upper part lightly so it doesn't look bulky when sewn to the body. 4. Hind Legs (Make 2 - White Yarn) For the sitting pose, the upper part of the hind legs (thigh area) should be wider. Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) Round 5-7: 24 sc (24) (3 rounds) Round 8: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (18) Round 9-15: 18 sc (18) (7 rounds) Round 16 (Paw shaping): (1 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (12) Round 17-18: 12 sc (12) (2 rounds) Stuff with fiberfill, gather the remaining stitches with a needle to close the opening, and leave a long tail for sewing.
5. Ears (Make 2 - White Yarn) Do not stuff the ears. Round 1: 4 sc in MR (4) Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 2 (6) Round 3: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 2 (8) Round 4: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 2 (10) Round 5: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 2 (12) Round 6: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 2 (14) Round 7: 14 sc (14) (1 round) Flatten the edges together and close the opening by crocheting through both layers with single crochets. 6. Tail (White Yarn) Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (9) Round 3-25: 9 sc (9) (Crochet until you reach your desired length) Stuff lightly with fiberfill or insert a wire inside to make it bendable. ???? Assembly and Face Sculpting (Details) The assembly stage is crucial to capturing that "live" and innocent expression: Eye Sculpting & Indentation: Before sewing the head to the body, insert your needle from the back/bottom of the head, bring it out just below the eyes, and pull back gently to create eye sockets. This gives the cat a realistic and meaningful gaze. Nose and Mouth: Using your pink thread, embroider a small triangular nose centered right below the eyes. Create the mouth line by making a small "Y" shape extending downward from the nose. Sewing the Head to the Body: Sew the head securely and neatly onto the top of the body (where the 24 sc round is). Legs and Tail: Secure the front legs just below the neck area so the cat stands upright. Sew the hind legs to the sides of the body at an angle that simulates a sitting position. Attach the tail to the back. Ears: Sew the ears to the upper-top sides of the head, tilting them slightly forward. You can lightly embroider the inner ears with pink thread or apply a little blush.
Brushing and Final Touches: The Most Important Step: Using a stiff brush (like a pet slicker brush) or velcro tape, gently brush the entire body (especially the head and cheeks) from bottom to top. This process pulls out the fibers of the yarn to create the fluffy, soft cat fur seen in the image. Lightly add pink blush to the cheeks using a makeup brush or cotton pad. Pass the fishing line or stiff thread through the cheeks with a needle and knot them to create the whiskers.
