MINI KITTEN/CAT (MELIS)

Let’s get started with someone who can live in our doll house; Melis the kitten.

Crochet mini kitten

Crochet pattern: Crochet mini kitten (Melis)

INFORMATION:
Size: height ∼8.5 cm (depending on yarn/hook)
Supplies; this project is perfect for left over yarn, as you just need a tiny amount of each
color. Adjust your hook size to be suitable for the yarn you use (make sure to use a hook on the
lower range of the recommended size for your yarn)
For this project I used light beige Schachenmayr Catania and a hook 2.25 mm

Hook size 2.0-2.5(-3.0) mm

You’ll also need safety eyes, filling (like poleyester filling), a needle, and pink stamp or something
similar if you’d like to make “blush”

Abbreviation
Regular us terms
Inc – 2 sc in one (increase)
Dec – 2sc together (decrease)

Make sure to fill as you go. Arms are attached to body in the end. Fasten off loose thread (hide them
inside the doll), and cut off.

How to crochet legs directly from body; Turn the so far doll up-side-down. From the bottom of the
body; Visualize a “ring” of 8sts on one side, place hook thru the two st closest to the center. Crochet-
tog, then work around like a circle. For the next leg you’ll do the exact same on opposite side. (It’s the
same technique as with my Love Heart Mouse. (check this picture the get the idea)
