Pocket Kitty adores cuddling in your lap for a cozy nap. If you’re ever searching for Pocket Kitty, don’t forget to peek into your yarn bag – this playful feline has a soft spot for yarn.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

This no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions, pictures, and video tutorial to help you along the way. Pocket Kitty is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Pocket Kitty is crocheted in super bulky chenille yarn and is approximately 2.5 inches tall. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

Pocket Kitty Full Pattern

HEAD/BODY

  • Using color of choice

    Right and left hand video tutorials available for this pattern in the pattern example above. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R1.

  • Make a slipknot and chain 7
  • R1: sc in the 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 5 ch sts,

    Working down the other side of the chain

  • sc in next 6 ch sts {12 sts}

    We're working in continuous rounds. Make your first increase of R2 into the next stitch.

  • R2: (inc, sc) 6 times {18 sts}
  • R3: (inc, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

    R4 we're making the ears. I will show step-by-step pictures. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R4.

  • Using stitch markers, mark the back loops only of the 4th and 10th stitch before you begin crocheting.
  • The ears will be worked into the front loops of the two marked stitches. I suggest marking the first hdc and last hdc of each ear as it's helpful for R5.
  • R4: sc in next 3 sts
  • ear: in next flo, hdc, dc, hdc in same stitch
  • sc in next 5 sts
  • ear: in next flo, hdc, dc, hdc in same stitch, sc in next 14 sts {24 sts counting the marked back loops, not the flo stitches for the ears}
  • For R5: As we work this round, we will work into the back loops that we marked for R4, not into the marked stitches of the ear.

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R5.

  • After you work into the marked back loop, reach your hook over into the next stitch - the one next to your marked ear stitch.
  • R5: (inc, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {30 sts}

    Mark R6 for help with eye placement later.

  • R6-10: sc in next 30 sts {30 sts}

    For R11, we'll be crocheting small bobbles and bobbles. The bobbles will be worked in the front loops only. If you need a bobble refresher, video links available in pattern example. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R11.

  • R11: sc in next 3 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo small bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo small bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 8 sts [tail: chain 18, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 16 sts] sc in next 6 sts {30 sts}

    Pop your bobbles out. A yarn needle helps.

  • R12: (dec, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for the eyes and nose.

  • Place 14mm safety eyes between R7 and R8 leaving 4 stitches open between the eyes. Use that marked R6 to move down a round to find R7.
  • Grab a long piece of pink yarn and embroider a nose, over one stitch, between the eyes.
  • I like to make a horizontal line first.
  • Then move down a round and bring my yarn up into the top stitch.
  • Add pink yarn next to the eye. Secure safety eyes.
  • R13: (dec, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {18 sts}
  • Begin to stuff. Don't overstuff, you want the bottom to lay somewhat flat.
  • R14: (dec, sc) 6 times {12 sts}
  • R15: (dec) 6 times {6 sts}
  • Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the body shut.
  • Please be aware that amigurumi contains small pieces and can be dangerous to children.
