Who This Cat Pattern Is Best For
This Kitten Amigurumi crochet pattern by Amy Gaines will suit upper beginners who are already familiar with basic techniques. The cat is worked in spirals, so prepare some stitch markers to keep track of the rounds.
To bring your kitten to life, you will use simple stitches like single crochet and half double crochet along with some shaping and sewing. You should also know how to make the magic ring.

Yarn Weight and Hook Size
The pattern calls for worsted yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook. The designer used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, but any other medium-weight yarn will also do.
In fact, the pattern requires so little yarn that you can easily construct your cats using just scraps from your stash.
Is It Safe for Babies and Toddlers?
The Kitten Amigurumi seen in the photos feature plastic safety eyes that can be swallowed by a child if not secured properly. To make sure your handmade toy is completely safe and baby-friendly, go for embroidered eyes. For this purpose, you can use a black embroidery thread or thin yarn.
Can I Turn This Crochet Cat Pattern into a Keychain?
These tiny crochet cats measure 6″ tall (about 15 cm) or long, depending on which kitten you are going to make. To turn them into a keychain or bag charm, you might want them to be smaller in size.
Consider using a sport or fingering yarn and a matching hook to adjust their final measurements. What you will get are cute pocket-sized kittens that you can easily attach to your bag or key bundle.
