Conclusion & Pattern Corrections

You have crocheted a tiny, nearly crochet no sew cat-the only part you must sew is the tail. All the legs and ears are cleverly formed as you crochet, minimizing finishing work. Embroider the face before full closure for best results, and stuff both head and body well for a cute, plump shape.

Correction: Be sure your stitch counts are correct after each step, especially when working in oval (at chain base and turns). If needed, double-check that your clusters are centered to keep legs in the right place.

Tips

  • Use a locking stitch marker to keep track of round beginnings.
  • If using safety eyes, insert before the final head decrease and stuffing.
  • Invisible decreases keep the cat smoother and neater.
  • Use high-contrast yarn for eyes and nose for the most expressive face.
  • Vary the base chain length in the head for a longer or shorter face.
