Why You'll Love This Pusheen Cat with Ice Cream Amigurumi Pattern

I love how quickly this pattern brings Pusheen to life — the rounds are satisfying and the little ice cream details are so fun to embroider. I find the continuous spiral technique keeps the shaping neat and makes assembly simple and enjoyable.

Switch Things Up

I enjoyed the playful detail work on this Pusheen pattern and I found the striping and ice cream embroidery especially fun to customize.

I recommend experimenting with slightly different colors for the ice cream scoop to create seasonal or themed variations.

I often change safety eye sizes to give different expressions; smaller eyes give a cuter look while larger eyes can look more cartoonish.

I also like to add a little weighted base when I want the figure to be more stable on shelves or desks.

I suggest practicing the invisible decrease on scrap yarn if you're not used to it — it really helps keep shaping neat.

I usually embroider the sprinkles with a contrasting thread for a pop of color that stands out on the rosé scoop.

I find leaving long sewing tails saves time during assembly and ensures stronger attachments when sewing on limbs and ears.

I sometimes tweak the tail stripe pattern to make a longer or shorter tail depending on my yarn left over.

I recommend blocking stripes flat before sewing them on if your yarn tends to curl; it makes placement easier.

I hope you have fun personalizing this Pusheen and creating a sweet little companion to brighten your day.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during continuous spiral rounds can cause miscounted stitches; use a marker at the last stitch of each round and move it up as you go. ✗ Not stuffing gradually will produce lumps or misshapen areas; stuff little by little and shape as you add filling. ✗ Forgetting to leave long yarn tails on parts to be sewn makes assembly fiddly; always leave a longer tail for sewing and finishing. ✗ Changing colors without securing yarn ends can create loose tails; fasten off and leave a tail or carry yarn neatly to avoid gaps.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew ears onto the top outer edge of the head, placing the side with increases to the outside edge.
  • Attach tail to the lower back using the yarn tail left when closing the tail; position so the cat can stand upright.
  • Sew stripes to the back using long yarn tails, placing the smaller stripe above the bigger stripe.
  • Position and sew hands to the sides of the body, then sew the ice cream cone to the hands securely.
  • Embroider hair lines over the stripes (go over each stripe twice), embroider nose/mouth between eyes, and add whiskers using dark grey thread.

Important Notes

  • 💡This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds; do not join with a slst unless instructed for pieces like stripes and stalk.
  • 💡Use a stitch marker in the last stitch of each round and move it up as you go to keep track of rounds accurately.
  • 💡Stuff parts gradually while crocheting to avoid lumps and to achieve smooth shaping.
  • 💡Leave longer yarn tails for sewing on ears and patches; it makes assembly and placement much easier.
  • 💡Embroider sprinkles and facial features after securing safety eyes and sewing parts in place to avoid shifting.

FAQs

What size will the finished Pusheen be?

The finished cat measures approximately 17 cm tall, depending on yarn and hook tension.

Can I use different yarn weights or hooks?

Yes — you can use other yarn weights, but the finished size will change. Use a hook one size smaller than usual for tighter amigurumi stitches if needed.

Where should I place the safety eyes?

Add safety eyes between rounds 42 and 43 of the head/body with 11 stitches in between, as the pattern instructs.

How do I close the last round smoothly?

Cut yarn leaving a tail, use a yarn needle to go through outer loops from inside out, and pull tight to close the hole; weave in the tail securely.
