Thank you very much and happy crocheting! :)

Introduction
I would like to thank you, for choosing to purchase this tutorial. I hope that you will be fully satisfied
with it and, above all, that the effect of your work will be exactly as you wish. Remember that if you
have any questions you can email me: krawka.blog@gmail.com.
Cat, when finished, is 21 cm (8,2 inches) long from head to the beginning of the tail, 35 cm (13,7
inches) with his tail straight. In the photos you can see the colors of yarn I use, but you could also use
two shades of pink instead of purple or grey even in style of new movies. So choose your base colors
and see if they match together. I used the wires inside cat's arms, legs and tail so now he can pose,
but if you are making this toy for a child I would skip wiring or use safer pipe cleaners instead.

Materials
List of all the materials you will need for this project:
 yarn ( I use 55% cotton yarn which meterage is 174 yards (159 meters) for 50 g, weight Sport
/ 5 ply (12 wpi), Gauge 24 to 30 st is 4 inches (10 cm)
You can use any colors you like, but below is the list of colors I used:
o pink - head, stripes, ears, nose, face hair
o purple - second stripe color
o pinkish beige - hands, feet, end of tail, inside ears, mouth
o white - teeth
o yellow- eyes
o black - nose holes, whiskers etc.
If you want to know more about the yarns or colors I choose, write me a message.
 3 mm hook
 cotton wool or other filling
 a bit of black felt or black material for pupils and eyebrows
 wire - If you want to put it in cat's legs, tail, arms to make them move a little bit
 needle, thread, scissors, etc.

We will make arms and legs now. I love making the

stripes, but I hate the beginning of the row, where you
can see the ugly edge, made with yarn changes. I
didn't want any edge like that to be seen - so there is
left and right arm, left and right leg where the edge is
facing down and you cannot see it on first look.
Legs (Make 2- one right, one left, they

are the same to 9-th row)
start with pink yarn
R1: 10 ch, ss in 1-st ch to make a circle (10)
R2: * sc 4, inc * X2 (12)
V R3: BLO ss 12 (12)

R7: * sc 3, inc * X4 (20)
V R8: BLO ss 20 (20)
R9: BLO * sc 4, inc * X4 (24)
Right leg only:
R10: sc, dec 3, sc 6, inc 6, sc 4, ss (27)
P R11: BLO ss 27 (27)

R12: BLO sc 13, inc 4, sc 10 (31)
R13: sc 15, inc 4, sc 11, ss (35) FO
Left leg only:
R10: sc, inc 6, sc 6, dec 3, sc 4, ss (27)

R12: BLO sc 7, inc 4, sc 16 (31)
R13: sc 8, inc 4, sc 18, ss (35) FO
So you should now have two legs, one right one left,
where the edges are facing down.
Arms (Make 2 - one right, one left,

they are the same to 9-th row)
start with pink

Fingers (Make 14 - I am sure 14 :) )

We will use 3 fingers to each of the front legs, and 4

fingers to each of back legs.
We made all the parts. Let's sew them up:
We will make the head first.
Take the mouth part and sew it in the lower part of

the mouth. See the photo for reference.
Sew inside ear parts to each ear.

Sew ears on top of the head.
Right before ear sew head hair (the one with three
hair)
Sew face side hair on each chick.
Take black yarn and make about 10 black lines on

smile.

Sew the smile on beige mouth (in lower part, in upper
will be the nose - see the next photo)
Sew the nose. Form it a bit when sewing to make it

more rectangular.
With black yarn make an outline around smile.
From black felt cut two pupils and sew them to each
eye.
With white yarn make the light reflection on each eye.

Sew finished eyes.
With black yarn make a line between the nose and

smile, make two whiskers on each side of this line.
Make two nose holes/lines :)
From black felt cut out two eyebrows.
Sew eyebrows.
Head is ready.

We will make hands and feet with fingers.
Sew 3 fingers to open part of hand. Make two hands.
Sew 3 fingers to open part of foot and one additional

finger as thumb on the side. Make two feet like that.
Sew hands to arms (longer parts)
With black yarn make nail on each finger. (Remember

you should make it on opposite side than the ugly
edge)
Stuff hands and if you want to wire your cat put a wire
in each arm.

Prepare a wire for tail. See the photo for reference.
Put wire in tail first and stuff you can help yourself
with a pen or hook.
Stuff the body if you didn't do that before.
Place the tail and put the wires through the body.
Sew the tail to the body.

Take feet and sew them to legs. Thumbs should be
pointed toward the body. See the photo for reference.
Prepare wires for back legs
Put them inside and stuff legs.
Place the arms in the lower part of the body where

the head will be (see the photo), you can sew them up
so they will stay in place when you will be sewing
head.
Place and sew the head. Make it very firmly, you can
also sew hands one more time more carefully.

This is how it should look like from underneath.
Place and sew the back legs on each side of the body.
Remember thumbs toward the body/tail, not outside.
DONE! The cat is finished now!
I hope you like how he turned out.
PS. Watch out cause he is crazy...
... and he may run towards the trees

just like mine.
(see the next page :) )
