how to crochet a cute and easy cat plushie | free pattern + step-by-step video tutorial

Image
Hi everyone! Here's the written pattern for my YouTube tutorial . Please refer to the video for step-by-step demonstrations if you're confused. You can use acrylic/cotton yarn with a 4 mm hook for a smaller cat or fluffy/chenille yarn with a 4.5 or 5 mm hook for a slightly larger hand-size cat. All the materials and yarns I used can be found on my amazon storefront ! Abbreviations: ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet / increase = 2 sc in the same stitch / decrease = invisible decrease - insert your hook into the front loops of the next 2 stitches, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, then yarn over and pull through 2 loops again Important notes: Start each piece with a regular or fake magic ring. The total stitch counts for each round are written in brackets (X). End each piece with a slip stitch and chain 1 to fasten off. For assembly and joining the pieces to make the plushie, please watch the video tutorial for a short sewing demonstration! 1. Head Round 1 - 8 sc Round 2

Abbreviations: ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet If you want to make the bags the same size as mine, please note the yarn/hook size (I recommend watching the first section of the video where I explain in detail which yarn/hook size to use!).
