This pattern is for intermediate crocheters.
Supplies: 5mm Crochet Hook, Stuffing, Scissors, Tapestry Needle, Safety Eyes
Yarn: 4/Medium Weight in Colors: Orange, Black, Light Yellow, Light Pink, and White
This pattern requires a bit of skill when it comes to sewing on/detail stitching.
You will need to cleanly attach his eyes and eyelids, sew his ears together once already sewn on the head, and sew his black
hairs on his body.
The key is to sew slowly and undo anything that you find “messy” looking. It just takes practice!
Stuff gradually throughout making every piece.

Head (In Orange):
The head will work into the body, so it is all one piece.

Finish off
Stuff and sew onto head. After attaching to the head, closely sew the back part of the ears together, as it looks more like
Garfield’s chubby ears rather than traditional separate cat ears.
Now in black, sew black fur lines on the ears

Eyes: (Make 1)
Row 1: In white, Ch 15
Row 2: Sc in 2 chain from hook and sc across
Row 3-9: Turn, ch 1, sc across
Finish off

Eyelids in Orange: (Make 1)
Row 1: Ch 15
Row 2: Sc in 2 chain from hook and sc across
Row 3-6: Sc across
The eyes require no stuffing. Pin down and sew on the white eyes first, then pin down and sew on the orange eyelids on top
of the white eyes.
Then sew black yarn in the middle to separate the eyes. Pull the yarn a bit tight to make the eyes appear not flat.

Mouth:
(Make 2 in Light Yellow)
Row 1: Ch 13
Row 2: Sc all around on chain, both sides (23)
Row 3: Sc around (23)
Row 4: Sc around in back loops only (23)
Pin beneath eyes. Make sure there is room for the nose between the mouths.

Circle Cheek in Light Yellow:
(Make 2)
Row 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Row 2: Inc all around (12)
Row 3: Sc around in back loop only (12)
Finish off and pin above the each mouth

Nose:
Row 1: In light pink, 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Row 2: Inc all around (12)
Row 3: Sc around in back loop only (12)
Finish off and pin between the two mouths.
Now make any placement adjustments and sew on once you’re happy with where everything is placed. Refer to my pictures
to get best placement.

Sitting leg:
Row 1: In orange, Sc in magic ring (6)
Row 2: Inc all around (12)
Row 3: Sc, inc all around (18)
Row 4: 2 sc, inc around (24)
Row 5: 3 sc, inc around (30)
Row 6: 4 sc, inc around (36)
Row 7-12: Sc around (36)
Finish off. Sew onto the body, more towards the front of the body so when you sit him down he will be stable. Stuff leg when
it is close to being sewn shut.
It looks like this when pinned to the body.
Now we make the foot.

Foot:
(Make 2)

Row 10: 2 sc, dec around (18)
Row 11: Sc around (18)
Row 12: 1 sc, dec around (12)
Finish off. Sew closer to the body rather than too far out on the leg. This will help him be stable. Stuff when close to sewing shut.
Sew toe indentations in black.

Row 1: In orange, 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Row 2: Inc in next 3 st, sc in next 3 st (9)

Finish off and stuff.
After sewing on all body pieces, sew on black fur. I looked at photos of Garfield on Google and my books for reference. He
has these patches on his legs, sides of his head, his back, and end of his tail.

All Finished.
