Hi friends, today I will share a nice cat amigurumi pattern for beginners. Although it is a slightly detailed crochet cat pattern, overall it is a simple amigurumi. The size of the amigurumi is approximately 6 cm. To summarize, it is quite simple and useful. You can use this type of amigurumis both as a keychain and as a small gift.

Usually girls like these toys. So it can be a nice gift for girls. I want to talk about a few very simple details. Nose and ears. The inner parts of the ears are made with pink color, thus creating a nice appearance. In addition, the tip of the nose is made with a different color in the same way. I continue to share free animal amigurumi patterns. Now let’s crochet the cat amigurumi step by step.
