 Notes

Crochet the toy in a spiral without slip stitches and do not turn the work
unless otherwise indicated. Mark the beginning of the round with a marker
or a thread of a different color, this will help to correctly determine the
beginning of the next round.
For crocheting this toy, you can use any yarn, then the size of the finished
toy may change. I recommend using yarn: YarnArt JEANS, GAZZAL JEANS,
Alize cotton gold and any other, the composition of which is 55% cotton
and 45% acrylic.
And also instead of cabochon eyes, you can use safety eyes of the same
size. Only first insert them into round 2 of the whites, and then glue or sew
them between rounds 10-11 of the head.
When decorating a muzzle, we may have a difference in several rounds.
This may be due to your gauge or hook size. Therefore, I recommend
decorating the muzzle at your discretion, focusing on the photo.

Assembly & Decoration
First, sew the muzzle at the level of rounds 12-18 for Cat 1 and at the level of
rounds 14-20 for Cat 2, stuff it slightly. Next, stretch a white thread from top to
bottom, in the middle of the muzzle and pull it tightly, so we have formed the
cheeks.
Then, glue the nose (beige for Cat 1 and light pink for Cat 2) in the hole formed on
top of the muzzle.

21 22 23

Next, glue (sew) the whites of the eye at the level of rounds 8-11 for Cat 1 and at
the level of rounds 9-12 for Cat 2, and we have already glue cabochon eyes with a
slight shifting to the center (I shifted green eyes for Cat 1 to the center and up, blue
eyes for Cat 2 - to the center). Then sew the ears for Cat 1 at the level of rounds
3-10, the distance between the ears is 4-5 sc, for Cat 2: at the level of rounds 4-12,
the distance between the ears is 8 sc. Sew the ears so that the distance in width
between side 1 and side 2 of the ear is 3 sc.

For the Cat 2: using sewing pins fix the chest and sew it on at the level
of rounds 25-37. Next, sew the tail through the upper part, at the level of rounds
34-37, at the back, exactly in the middle of the body (from top to bottom).
Bend the lower part of the tail along the left side of the body and slightly fix it
with a few stitches to round 38. Using sewing pins, fix the forelegs on the sides of
the body to rounds 25-28, from top to bottom, obliquely.

27 28 29

Sew the upper part of the foreleg completely, fix the lower part of the leg with a few
stitches to round 31. Next, focusing on the photo, glue the paw pads to the hind legs.
Glue the legs themselves at the level of round 37-43, in front of the body, slightly
turning the upper part outward.
