What you need to know about this pattern:
- The approximate size of Dolly, the little gray tabby kitten, is about 3.5 inches / 9 cm (depending on the yarn and crochet hook you use).
- All pattern parts are crocheted in continuous rounds. You should place a stitch marker in the last stitch of each round or use a different colored yarn instead.
- Crochet each stitch tightly to avoid small holes.
- Use an ‘invisible decrease’ instead of a ‘regular decrease’ to make your doll look neater.
- Fill the head and body firmly; the kitten will be cute and chubby
Tips for crocheting Amigurumis 😉
- 🧵 Choose Quality Materials: The quality of your materials directly impacts the final result. Opt for soft and durable yarns, and needles that suit your knitting style. Remember, your amigurumis deserve the best!
- 📏 Know Your Gauge: Before diving into the project, take time to understand your knitting tension. Making a small test square will help you adjust the size and achieve a perfect amigurumi.
- 📖 Dive into the Pattern: Before you start knitting, carefully read through the entire pattern. Familiarize yourself with each step and make sure you understand all the instructions. This prior knowledge will make you feel more confident during the process.
- 📍 Use Stitch Markers: Marking the beginning of each round with a stitch marker is key. This not only helps you follow the pattern more easily but also prevents errors and confusion.
- 🌈 Explore with Colors: The color palette is your canvas! Don’t be afraid to experiment and play with unexpected combinations. Colorful amigurumis are more fun and expressive.
- 🧼 Block Your Creations with Care: After completing your amigurumi, blocking is essential. This process smooths out the details and defines the shape, giving a professional touch to your creations. Remember, crochet is more than a hobby; it’s an art form. Enjoy every stitch and create magic with your own hands! 💖✨ Happy knitting! 🌸🌟

Assembling and Embroidering
FACE
-Eyes: Mark points A, B, C, D (Box 1) and thread a needle with light gray yarn and insert it from under the chin, pull out at [A] (Box 2), push the needle backward at [B] and pull out at [C] (Box 3), push the needle again at [D] and pull out at the starting point. (Box 4) Pull the yarn tightly to create the eye socket and make a knot.
The space between the two eyes is 9 stitches.
-Eyelashes: Thread a needle with dark brown yarn and insert it from under the chin, pull out at [E], push the needle backward at [F] and pull out at [G], push the needle again at [H] and pull out at the starting point. (Image 7)
-White Eyes: Place 7mm eye beads in the eye socket and sew the white part of the eyes with white yarn. (Image 8)
-Nose: Sew the nose with pink yarn between rounds 14 and 15 (same level as the bottom line of the eyes) and 4 stitches away from each eye. Embroider the nose approximately 5 times using a horizontal line. Additionally, make a vertical line from the center of the nose 2 rounds down.
-Ears: Sew the ears on rounds 4 to 9 (6 rounds) and 5 stitches away from the eyes. (Box 1,2 and 3)
-Inner Ears: Glue the inner ears on rounds 4 and 5 of each ear.

Thread a needle with light gray yarn and insert it from the back of the body, pull out at [A], push the needle backward at [B] and pull out at [C], push the needle again at [B] and pull out at the starting point. Pull the yarn tightly to make the indentation at the bottom and make a knot. (Image 10)
HIND LEGS: Sew the hind legs in round 6 (same round as the front legs) and 1 stitch away from the front legs. (Image 11)
HEAD STRIPES: Make 3 stripes on the head and use dark gray yarn to make 22 chains. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Sew the stripes on the top of the kitten’s head using the needle. Place the 1st stripe in the center of the head and located between rounds 8 and 9 in the front and back of the head. Place the 2nd stripe away from the 1st stripe by 1 stitch in the front and 2 stitches in the back. Place the 3rd stripe the same as the 2nd but in the opposite direction. (Image 12)
BODY STRIPE: Use dark gray yarn to make 12 chains. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Place the stripe along the red dashed line between rounds 6 and 16.
HOW TO MAKE A BOW FOR THE RIBBON:
- Use pink yarn to make 65 chains.
- Wrap a ribbon around Dolly’s neck. Let the left ribbon be longer than the right.
- Cross the left ribbon over the right.
- Bring the left ribbon under the right in the center. Pull the left ribbon through and set it aside.
- Make a loop with the right ribbon. (now it should be on your left side)
- Twist the loop to the right.
- Pick up the unknotted ribbon (left ribbon) and place it over the knotted ribbon.
- Fold it back over the knotted loop to make the “half loop”.
- Roll it forward again over the knotted loop to finish the “half loop”.
- Make a loop with the left ribbon.
- Pass the loop of the left ribbon through the “half loop”.
- Pull the knotted ends to form the bow and adjust the ribbons as needed. (You can refer to the images below)
TAIL: Fold the ends of the soft wire and glue it. Insert the soft wire into the tail and cut the excess wire. Sew the tail in round 5 of the body and bend it into an ‘S’ shape curve.
