LITTLE HEARTS SQUISHIE FREE PATTERN:

MATERIALS

Amigurumi Cotton Yarn, the color you like for:

Body, Legs, Hands, Ears (color A)

Stripes, Hair (color B)

Whiskers and Nose (color C)

I used: YarnArt Begonia: 100% cotton, mercerized cotton, 50g = 169m

Colors: light grey yarn for body and legs and hands and ears, dark grey for stripes and hairs and black for whiskers and nose.

2 mm crochet hook

8 mm plastic safety eyes - 2 pieces

Scissors

Stuffings

Sewing/Embroidery and yarn needle/tapestry needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends

Markers

Pins

The pattern was made with YarnArt Begonia: 100% cotton, mercerized cotton, 50g = 169m

Crochet hook 2.00 mm.

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet terms:

SlSt – slip stitch

CH/s – chain/s

SC - single crochet

SK - skip

T - turn

ST/s - stitch(es)

REP – repeat

SC2TOG = 2 single crochets together
 

Special stitches used:

Single Crochet Decrease (sc2tog)

A crochet decrease makes the current row or round that you are working on shorter than the one previous to it.

1.  Insert hook into the first stitch.

2.  Yarn over and draw through the loop.

3.  Do not complete the stitch as normal.

4.  Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch.

5.  Yarn over and draw through the loop.

6.  There should now be three loops on your hook

7.  Yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook

8.  You should now have two single crochet stitches side-by-side, joined together into one stitch at the top.
 

This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used, attaching yarn, changing yarn colors, sewing parts together with a sewing needle.

PATTERN NOTES

1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch

2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.

3) Continuous rounds - BODY, LEGS, HANDS, EARS parts are worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

5) This Cute Little Cat Amigurumi measures: 10 cm / 4 inch

6) You can make the Cat Amigurumi bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.

7) There is just minimal sewing, you will only sew the hands, the legs, the ears and the stripes to the body - this is quick and easy to do, there are no tricks.

STUFFING 

The exact moment for starting filling and stuffing the toy depends on every single person. I prefer filling the toy with the work almost finished. It’s a bit more difficult to fill, but more comfortable to crochet. You should make proofs until finding the more suitable moment of filling for you.

Start sewing EARS on the top of the BODY/HEAD and make sure the center of the head is aligned. Work around the entire neck.

Sew the EAR on the BODY.
Sew the second EAR 11 stitches apart from the first EAR.
