Amigurumi Cat Recipe Step by Step
Now that you have gathered all the necessary materials, it is time to start crocheting your cat amigurumi.
Let's follow a simple and detailed step-by-step guide to make the process easier, even for beginners.
1. Head and Body
Start with the head, which is usually made in a spherical shape:
- Make a magic ring with 6 single crochet stitches (sc).
- Increase to 12 sc on the second row, making 2 sc in each stitch from the previous row.
- Continue increasing proportionally until you reach the desired head size.
- After the increase, make rows without increases to form the rounded part.
- Gradually reduce the stitches to close the sphere, but leave an opening for filling with silicone fiber.
- Repeat the same process for the body, adjusting the size so that it is proportional to the head.
2. Ears
The ears are made separately:
- Start with a magic ring of 6 sc.
- Gradually increase until it forms a small triangle.
- Finish and leave a piece of thread to sew the ears onto the head.
3. Paws and Tail
For the paws:
- Make a magic ring with 6 sc and increase until you reach the desired diameter.
- Work rows without increases to form the length of the legs.
- Repeat the process for all 4 legs.
For the tail:
- Start with a magic ring of 6 sc.
- Work rows without increases until you reach the desired length.
4. Assembly
With all the parts ready, it's time to assemble your amigurumi:
- Fill all parts with silicone fiber.
- Sew the ears onto the head carefully to make them symmetrical.
- Attach the head to the body, aligning the parts well.
- Sew the paws and tail to the body, adjusting the position so the cat is balanced.
- Finally, apply the safety eyes and embroider the snout with black thread, if desired.
