Cali-Cat Amigurumi With Original Pattern

Cali-Cat Amigurumi With Original Pattern
Well I decided to write an original cat crochet amigurumi pattern. It was amazing to me how few cat patterns are out there. This pattern is makes a tiny cat that is perfect for a nice gift. I used Suncatcher eyes and nose. If you have not checked out Suncatcher eyes (http://www.suncatchereyes.com/) you really need to! They are wonderful and look a thousand times better than felt (in my opinion). They are great! This is called a “Cali-Cat” because made this cat for a friend named Calinda.

Tail
Ch 15 F/o

Assembly: Sew all the pieces together. For the tail you may need a little hot glue to secure it. Cut out two triangles for ear. Glue them to the cat’s head. I added a bow around the kitty’s neck. You can add whiskers and other features if you would like.
