Pallas's Cat Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

What is included

A digital PDF pattern of 22 pages with a materials list, a gauge swatch guide, abbreviations and special stitches, a construction overview, tips for working with plush yarn, and the ears, tail, muzzle with cheek tufts, four legs with paws, body and head worked round by round with a stitch count at the end of every round. It also covers assembly, face embroidery, finishing and care, variations and troubleshooting. Each step gives the pattern line, an explanation in plain words and a checkpoint you can verify, which matters because plush yarn hides the stitches.

Who it is for

Skill level: Intermediate. You need single crochet, increases, invisible decreases and a magic ring. None of the stitches are advanced; the difficulty is in the counting, the shaping and the assembly of twelve crocheted pieces, a color change on the tail and evenly placed ears, legs and muzzle.

Materials and key facts

• Yarn: soft velour or chenille plush yarn in four colors: silver-gray (most of the toy), charcoal, cream and white. The charcoal, cream and white are used in small amounts.
• Hook: 3.5 mm (US E-4). Work one size smaller than the yarn label suggests, and go down again if the stuffing shows through the stitches.
• Gauge: the pattern gives stitch counts, not measurements, so your cat will be as large as your yarn and hook make it. A swatch guide helps you check that your fabric is dense enough.
• You will also need: polyester stuffing, stitch markers, a long blunt yarn needle, black and charcoal embroidery floss, and scissors. Plastic safety eyes are optional; the main version has embroidered eyes.

Safety

A stuffed toy has small parts and stuffing inside it, and the optional safety eyes cannot be adjusted after fitting. Secure every attachment and check them regularly. Before giving the toy to a young child, consult an authoritative safety source; this pattern does not claim the finished toy is safe for any age.

The photographs in this listing are AI-assisted illustrations of the intended design, and colors may vary on different screens. Your finished cat will depend on your yarn and tension.
