Clawdia Cat is a wholesome, playful amigurumi kitty cat by Ashley Parker that is easy to make and has beautiful accessories. It’s a great project for decoration or toys to play with and cuddle. Best of all, it’s a good size: large enough to be interesting but small enough for little hands to hold onto.
What Supplies Do You Need for Clawdia Cat?
This cat crochet pattern is made in DK weight Mary Maxim Amigurumi yarn. Since this yarn has been discontinued, great substitutions are We Crochet Brava Sport or Ricorumi DK. You will require roughly 77 yards of a grey shade for the body and 12 yards of red for the mini skirt.
You will also need a 3 mm crochet hook, some polyfill stuffing, 6 mm safety eyes, pink and black embroidery threads, and a tapestry needle.
Is Clawdia Cat a Beginner-Friendly Crochet Project?
The Clawdia Cat pattern is a great project for confident beginners who know simple amigurumi techniques such as crocheting in the round, magic ring, and increases and decreases.
Most parts, like arms, legs, tail, and head, are done separately and sewn. There are some “embroidery” details, but nothing overly complicated. The cute mini skirt works separately and is attached afterward, giving that little extra touch to this kitten.
How Big is the Finished Clawdia Cat?
The finished Clawdia Cat stands around 5” from base to ears when worked with a 3 mm hook and DK yarn.
If you want to create a bigger toy, just change the yarn and hook. For instance, using a 3.5 mm size hook and medium-weight yarn will increase the dimensions of your handmade animal, giving it a softer finish.
To go oversized, use some bulky Bernat Blanket yarn with an 8 mm hook. Regardless of the size, Clawdia cat keeps her adorable look every time!
