PATTERN INFORMATION
This adorable Christmas Kitty is the perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season! You can turn this amigurumi kitten into a tree
ornament if desired.
INFO AND TIPS
● Use the 2.75mm hook for all parts of the pattern, except for the scarf. You will use the 5mm hook for the scarf.
● To give your amigurumi a furry texture using the Fluffy Day yarn, crochet the kitten’s grey parts (e.g., head, ears, arms, legs) with the wrong side out. For contrast, crochet the body part with the right side to give a smoother look.
