White cat

[addicted to yarn]

Here is a little diddy for those of you who like amigurumi. Something else I have created for the Easter baskets. This one is for my 11 yr old niece. She loves cats.

 

 

Supplies

Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart 0316 Soft White and 0786 Candy Print)

Scrap yarn for nose and as a round marker

9 mm Solid black eyes

yarn needle

3.5 mm Hook

Notes

Making my adjustable ring

wrap the end of your yarn around your first two fingers two times, so that the end of the yarn is closest to the end of your fingers.

Slide the crochet hook under the first loop, grab the second loop with the hook and draw it through the first loop.

Chain one (this counts as your first sc for the round)

 

Sc Decrease

place hook in stitch, yo, draw loop through

place hook in next stitch, yo, draw loop through

yo, draw it through all three loops on the hook

 

Sc Increase

place 2sc in one stitch

I used a scrap piece of yarn to mark the end of the round and moved it with each row.

I started your cat and came across a problem. I the round where you are putting the sc in the ring, should it be 6 sc into ring? You put 5.

I started your cat and came across a problem. I the round where you are putting the sc in the ring, should it be 6 sc into ring? You put 5.

 

When I start with a majic ring, I count the slipstitch as my first st, so there ends up being a total of 6 when I am done. Does that make sense? In the past, I have ended up with a little lump if I did not count it and put six in. If it works better for you to add six, please do. You will need to do so through out the pattern if you choose to do six. Let me know if there are anymore issues. Thanks for the heads up!!

[miller3602]

Your welcome! When I do a magic ring, I don't count the slip stitch.

[coelhoverde]

I love your cat.

Very cute little cat! Its on my list of to dos! I wish I had more hours in the day to crochet everything that I want to make!

Hello Addicted to Yarn,

 

I started to crochet your lovely white cat, but now I do not understand the following: turn body....

How to turn the body? Not inside outside? I am sorry that I appear so dumb, and I am not even blonde (but grey). I hope you can explain this to me, so that I can continue with the cat.

 

Thanks for your help. Greetings from Dorith in Israel
