Hello, dear friends.
Recently, cat amigurumi patterns have become quite commonplace. Many amigurumi patterns look alike. That’s why I’m sharing a brand new amigurumi kitty pattern. Thank you very much to designer alio_toys for this amazing cat design. The design on the cat’s paws is a really great design. It is really cool that it is created with different colors on the ears and nose. A pattern prepared with great effort. The pattern has been translated according to the English rules. If you think there is an error, please let me know about it. Let’s continue with this gorgeous amigurumi pattern. Amigurumi cat patterns are a very sought after and highly appreciated type of amigurumi. Today I am sharing this beautiful and cute amigurumi cat pattern. Have you crocheted the cat amigurumi pattern before? If your answer is no, let me first say this. Cat amigurumi will be a little difficult to embroider with crochet. Generally, you will see advanced amigurumi patterns. Therefore, I recommend you to develop yourself in easier amigurumi patterns first. Amigurumi kitties are now usually crocheted using velvet yarn. Other types of rope are no longer in demand. It is prepared to be plush. In fact, it is easy to work with crochet. It also grows in size. I hope you like it. Now let’s crochet the cat amigurumi step by step.

Designer notes:
“I tried to describe and show in as much detail as possible with the help of photos and videos the process of knitting and decorating a toy, so that you do not have any difficulties and you enjoy the process of creating it. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
I will be very pleased if you share with me a photo of your finished work!
Before you start knitting, please read the information below.
Knitting is carried out in a circle, unless otherwise indicated;
The size of the finished toy may differ from the declared one if you use a different yarn or crochet hook;
I do not recommend using materials such as cotton wool, bird fluff, various cereals, large layers of padding polyester as filler for toys, as this can deform the finished toy. It is preferable to use fillers intended for toys, for example synthetic fluff or holofiber;
This scheme is for personal, non-commercial use only. No copying, distribution or commercial use of this diagram or any part of it is permitted. I would be grateful if, when posting photos of your work on social networks, you indicate the author of the scheme (Alio_Toys).
To give the effect of fluffy wool, the toy must be combed. This can be done with an animal comb or Velcro for clothes. If you have not previously used such a technique when knitting, I recommend that you watch the video lesson (the link will be further in the diagram).
Enjoy knitting!”

Fold the edge of the part in half, the connection line should be parallel to the chain of air loops of the first row (see photo 1). Using a needle, bring the thread to the beginning of the line (photo 2) and sew the edges. By analogy, knit the other hand and comb both parts.

Without cutting the thread, we tie the part in a circle with single crochet columns. At the top of the detail, make one decrease in the center (see photo 3).
How to tie a piece in a circle can be found here. Secure and cut the thread. Comb the piece on one side.

5-7. 24 sc
Fasten and cut the yarn.
We knit another exactly the same part, at the end of knitting we do not cut the thread.
Next, we connect the two parts. For this:
1. Remove the hook from the loop of the second part and insert it into any loop of the first part from the inside out (photo 4).
2. Insert the crochet hook into the loop of the second piece and pull that loop into the first piece, making an air loop.
3. Knit further 3 single crochets through both parts (photo 5). You will get 4 common columns (counting the air loop).
We set the marker for the beginning of the row and begin to knit the eighth row.
8. For the second part 20 sc. (if you have connected the parts correctly, then after knitting 20 sc you will find yourself at the loop from which the connection of the two parts began). Next, make a decrease by tying together the first two loops, from which the connection of the parts began (photo 6). Then work 20 sc in the first piece, and again decrease by knitting the last two stitches together to complete the connection of the two pieces. In the eighth row, 42 loops should be obtained (20 loops on each part (we do not count 4 common columns) + 2 loops obtained in places where the reductions were made)

Finish knitting, fasten and cut the yarn
All the details are ready and we are moving on to the assembly stage!
Important: All parts must be combed before assembly.
STAGE I: Body
To begin with, you need to make tightening (indentations) in the places where the hands will be located. To do this, use pins to mark the attachment points of the hands on the sides of the body (my upper pin is located between 7 and 8 rows, the lower one is between 12 and 13 rows (counting from the neck)
Cut off 50 centimeters of gray thread and insert into the longest needle (I am using pink thread for clarity).
Step 1: Insert the needle where the lower right pin (in the photo is green), and bring in where the lower left pin (purple) is. Pull the thread through the toy, leaving the tip 20 centimeters on the right side.
Step 2: Insert the needle under the top left pin (red) and pull out on the opposite side under the top right pin (yellow).
Step 3: Gently pull both threads to the right – a depression will appear on the left. Tie the two ends of the thread together near the body in 2 strong knots to secure the groove.
Caution: Do not pull too hard – the yarn may break.
Step 4: Pass both ends of the thread one at a time to the opposite side. In the same way, gently pull the ends of the thread to make the same indentation on the right. Tie 2 strong knots, lock and cut the thread. The braces are needed so that the arms fit snugly against the body, so do not make them too deep.
STAGE II: Belly
The abdomen is located on the side where the more convex part of the body.
Center the white piece, pin and sew on three sides of the four. Add some filler through the remaining hole and sew on the remaining side.
STAGE III: Muzzle, ears
Position the muzzle relative to the center of the head, 3-4 rows back from the neck. Pin, sew on 3/4 of the pieces, remove all pins, add filler and sew on the rest.
Sew the nose onto the top of the muzzle and add some filler to make the nose more voluminous. After the nose is sewn on, sew a few stitches below to form the mouth.
Sew on pink triangles in the center of the ears. Sew the ears to the head.
STAGE IV: Paws, tail
Use white thread to sew small stitches at the ends of the arms and tighten them slightly. Sew your arms on the sides of the body where the braces are. If necessary, secure your hands in the abdominal area with a few stitches. Also sew stitches on the feet with white thread and sew them to the feet. Sew on the tail at the end.
STAGE V: Eyes
We cut out the main part of the eyes from scrap materials (I used non-woven napkins for manicure, but any material that does not deform when glue is applied and keeps its shape, such as felt, will do. You can also knit an oval or use ready-made eyes).
Draw the border of the eye with black paint, after completely drying, glue the pupil (I used Moment glue), draw small dots on the pupil with white paint. Glue the eyes to the toy (I also attached to the Moment).
