Super easy and fun free pattern to make. It’s so easy that you won’t stop at one kitty. Designed to be as simple as possible without compromising on the cuteness.
You can make this pattern in any size you wish by simply using a different yarn weight. Here I will list the material I used for the 4 sizes kitty pictured above:
The largest kitty:
Medium sized kitty:
Small sized kitty:
Tiny sized kitty:
The instructions are the same for all sizes. When there is a difference I'll indicate it clearly.
This pattern is made in a spiral of continuous rounds

Stuff well. Place the nose between R11 and R12 in the middle of the face. If you are using large eyes (larger than 15mm) place the eyes at the same level as the nose (between R11 and R12). If not, add eyes one row above the nose (between R10 and R11). The eyes look cuter if they are ~2-3 sts away from the nose on each side. Try the distance that looks best to you and once you are happy with it, fix them in place. See pictures for reference. |
