Ginger Cat

Free crochet tutorial for Ginger Cat by Olga Filippova @zefirka.room.

With this pattern, you can crochet a plush Ginger Cat. The head and body are worked as one piece, and the arms and tail are sewn on. Any plush yarn and a suitable crochet hook will work for this amigurumi project.

The finished toy measures about 28-29 cm when made with plush yarn, and about 16 cm when made with cotton blend yarn.

Toy assembly

Since Himalaya Dolphin Baby (YarnArt Dolce) sheds, I use reinforced thread or thin yarn for assembly. I sewed the pieces together in this order:

• Sew on the arms
• Sew on the tail
• Sew on bead eyes
• Embroider the nose, eyebrows, and whiskers
• Shape the ears with thread sculpting
• If desired, crochet a little heart or star and decorate the belly.
