I try to share amigurumi toys at all levels as much as possible. Today I will share a very simple kitty amigurumi pattern. Made using velvet yarn, this crochet cat is quite small and looks very cute. However, it needs to be made with velvet yarn, because if you use a different yarn, the amigurumi toy will be very small. Now you can get started right away by downloading the pdf pattern.
