130gr. of main colour yarn 100gr/120m

✓Crochet hook 5mm
✓Safety eyes 18mm, nose 20mm, eyelashes.

Some tips:
1. Every Part will be worked in
spiral rounds. Each round will
be finished with slst.
2. Use a stitch marker. A little
thread (just use a different colour
from the main one) can help as
well to count the rounds. Place
it over the working thread and it
will be easy to pull it out.

Stuff the head, don’t finish crocheting it (leave
an opening), so that you could attach the safety
eyes later.
My cat is big, so I made tightenings with the
help of the hook. Insert the hook from below
the head and move it to the place of eye
tightenings. We tighten the eyes between rows
16 and 17.(count the rows from the bottom first
row upward) Distance between the eyes is 6
stitches. Mark points A,B,C,D as shown of the
picture above. Insert the hook from below the
head and pull it out in point A, yarn over and
pull back down. Insert the hook from below the
head, count 3 stitches right from point A. This
will be point B. Pull the hook out in point B, yarn
over and pull back down. Do the same with the
second eye. Insert the hook from below the head
and pull it out in point C, yarn over and pull back
down. Insert the hook from below the head,
count 3 stitches left from point C. This will be
point D. Pull the hook out in point D, yarn over
and pull back down. Tighten the threads, fasten
off and hide the loose ends.
Nose: Find the middle between eye tightenings, go 2 rows down – this is
point E. Insert the hook from below the head and pull it out in point E,
yarn over and pull back down. Tighten well and tie the ends of the yarn
below the head.
Eyes and nose
I used safety eyes and toy nose. We left
the head unfinished to attach them. So
take the nose and install to its place.
Install the eyes and fasten them as well.
Glue the eyelashes if you wish. You can
also embroider eyebrows (go several rows
upper the eyes) and whiskers.
When you are done with the nose and eyes, you
need to close an opening in the head.
