Switch Things Up

I love customizing these little kittens by switching yarn colors to create different personalities, from calico to solid black.

I sometimes change the yarn weight and use a larger hook to make a chunkier, cuddlier version of the same pattern.

I add tiny embroidered eyebrows or whiskers to alter the expression and make each cat look unique.

I like to experiment with different eye sizes; a slightly larger safety eye gives a more playful look.

I often make matching accessories like tiny scarves or bows to personalize them as gifts.

I sometimes stuff more firmly for a sturdier toy or lightly for a softer, more plush feel.

I recommend trying variegated yarn for a textured coat effect that looks interesting without additional stitches.

I also try using contrasting color for inner ears or nose to add focal details that stand out.

I occasionally add a small bell or loop to turn the mini cat into a keychain or bag charm.

I enjoy combining embroidery techniques with felt pieces for different noses and mouths to find the look I prefer.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Placing safety eyes too late can misposition the face; place and check eye spacing before you embroider or stuff the head. ✗ Skipping stuffing until the end makes shaping difficult; stuff gradually and shape as you go to maintain smooth contours. ✗ Not leaving a long tail to sew parts together causes extra work; leave enough yarn to sew the piece securely during finishing. ✗ Forgetting to count stitches during increases or decreases leads to wrong stitch counts; count after each round to stay accurate.

Assembly Instructions

  • Use the long tail from the head finishing to close the hole and make a knot, then position the head on the body and sew securely through the rounds where the body opening sits.
  • Sew each ear to the top of the head using the long tail left when finishing the ear, positioning them symmetrically and securing with hidden stitches.
  • Place and secure the safety eyes before final stuffing and embroider the nose and facial details following the embroidery steps provided.
  • Attach front and back legs to the bottom of the body using the yarn tail left after finishing each leg, spacing them evenly for stability.
  • Sew the tail to the rear of the body using the tail left from the tail piece after finishing with a slip stitch; hide all ends inside the body.

Important Notes

  • 💡Place and check the position of the safety eyes before stuffing and embroidering details to ensure correct facial placement.
  • 💡Leave sufficient yarn tail when finishing each piece so you can use the same yarn to sew pieces together cleanly.
  • 💡Stuff gradually while shaping to avoid lumps and to maintain an even, rounded form for head and body.
  • 💡Use a darning needle to hide knots and weave tails inside the body for a neat finish.
