Amigurumi Crochet Pattern Small Kіttу

Head

1. Round 1: КА or 2 ch, 6 sc in the ring
2. Round 2: 6 inc = 12 stitches
3. Round 3: 1 sc, 1 inc (repeat 6 times) = 18 stitches
4. Round 4: 2 sc, 1 inc (repeat 6 times) = 24 stitches
5. Round 5: 3 sc, 1 inc (repeat 6 times) = 30 stitches
   6-12. Rounds 6-12: 30 sc in a circle
6. Round 13: 3 sc, 1 dec (repeat 6 times) = 24 stitches
7. Round 14: 2 sc, 1 dec (repeat 6 times) = 18 stitches
8. Round 15: 1 sc, 1 dec (repeat 6 times) = 12 stitches

At this stage, stuff the head very tightly, prepare the double cotter pin (or as preferred), insert the washer into the hole in the head (hold it with your fingers), and continue decreasing stitches.

16. Round 16: dec (6 times) = 6 stitches
17. Round 17: continue decreasing to the cotter pin

Leave a small end of the yarn, insert it into a thick needle, tighten (if necessary) the hole so the cotter pin can rotate freely, hide the yarn end inside the head, and neatly trim any excess yarn. Brush the head and set it aside temporarily.

Lower Legs

1. Round 1: Chain of 6 stitches
2. Round 2: In the second stitch from the hook: inc, 3 sc, 2 inc in one stitch (total 4!!!)
   Turn the work and continue crocheting in a circle: 3 sc, inc = 14 stitches
   (once again!!!!! inc, 3 sc, 2 inc in one stitch, 3 sc, inc)
3. Round 3: 14 sc in a circle, turn the work for convenience
4. Round 4: 12 sc, dec = 13 stitches
5. Round 5: dec, dec, 8 sc, 1 stitch becomes part of the next round’s decrease = 11 stitches
6. Round 6: make one dec (the last stitch from the 5th round and the first from the 6th round — we need a small shift so the dec is in the middle of the leg) = 10 stitches

Continue crocheting in a circle for 45 stitches, stuff, insert the screw, close, sew, and brush!

Upper Legs

1. Round 1: КА (or 2 stitches), crochet 6 sc, then 45 sc in a circle, insert the screw, stuff, close, sew, and brush.

Ears

1. Round 1: КА or 2 ch, crochet 4 sc
2. Round 2: 1 sc, inc (2 times) = 6 stitches
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc (3 times) = 9 stitches
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc (3 times) = 12 stitches

At this stage, you can leave the ears small, or if you want to increase them, additionally crochet 2 rounds of 12 sc.
