Squishy The Cat Amigurumi Free Crochet Pattern

Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.


Supplies:
5mm crochet hook, 4/Medium weight yarn in any desired colors for body, pink for nose, white for muzzle. 12mm safety eyes, tapestry needle, scissors, and stuffing.

Additional Information:
Difficulty: Easy
This pattern refers to “Main Color” as the main color you want your cat to be. You can use any color, but I wanted a striped cat so I used white, pink, and purple. I started in white and alternated to the next color every 2 rounds.
We start by making the cats head, which leads into the body. They are one piece. Next we create all of it’s head pieces,such as ears and whiskers, and sew them on. Finally we make the arms, legs, and tail.

Note: I used a 5mm hook because it’s easier on my hands and I wanted the cat a little bigger and less stiff. If you want you can use a 4mm hook and yours will still come out very similar to mine. Also, specific colors used for this cat is Big Twist in White, and Red Heart in Pale Plum and Petal Pink.
