Laid-Back Cat Amigurumi



I saw this picture awhile back on Pinterest and I thought it was hilarious, so I had to make an amigurumi out of it.  So here's the pattern, have fun!



Materials

  • G hook, such as Boye Aluminum 6" Crochet Hook: Size G
  • Worsted weight yarn, Gray, White and Pink, such as Red Heart Super Saver yarn or Red Heart Soft yarn
  • Black Embroidery Floss, such as Coats & Clark Six Strand Embroidery Floss
  • Pink Felt, such as Rainbow Classic Felt
  • Tacky Glue, such as ALEENES 15599 All Purpose Glue
  • Tapestry Needle, such as Clover Gold Eye Tapestry, No. 18-22
  • Poly-fil stuffing, such as Fairfield Poly-Fil Premium Polyester Fiber


Abbreviations:
ch(s)--chain(s)                       rnd--round                        sc(s)--single crochet(s)

sc2tog--single crochet 2 stitches together          st(s)--stitch(es)              sk--skip


Head

With Gray Yarn make a magic circle
Rnd 1: ch 1, 6 scs in circle (6 scs)

From now on put a stitch marker in the first sc of each rnd.




Rnd 2: 2 scs per sc (12 scs)
Rnd 3: 1 sc in next sc, 2 scs in next sc, start next sc, add White Yarn, 2 scs in next sc, start next sc, add Gray Yarn, 2 scs in next sc, *sc in next sc, 2 scs in next sc* 3 times (18 scs)
Rnd 4: Sc in next 2 scs, 2 scs in next sc, start next sc, add White Yarn, sc in next sc, 2 scs in next sc, start next sc, add Gray Yarn, sc in next sc, 2 scs in next sc,*sc in next 2 scs, 2 scs in next sc *3 times (24 scs)

  24. Hello...I don't know how often the creator of this cat pattern comes on to check the comments, but is there any chance you could make a video tutorial to make this cat? I cannot for the life of me get the rounds to add up right, and it's frustrating the heck out of me... I apparently am doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is...I must have started the head 20 times, and the stitch count for each round is not adding up right for me...I don't even know if I am putting the stitch marker in the right place each round...I am so frustrated because I just love this pattern and want to make it so bad...Can someone please help me?

  41. Hola Pam !

    Thank you so much for this great creation. I confess I'm learning to crochet, and this is totally new for me. I have done one already and it is lovely, except that it has a very long neck! It does look funny. Do I need to close the head before attaching it or how do I need to do it? Thank you so much for your time and advice. Kind Regards Mariana

    1. When I attached the head I pulled it down over the body, so the neck isn't so long.

    1. Same here. I decided follow th e instruction to "1sc per sc" for rounds 9 to 26 and just assume the correct count should be 8 scs per round. I believe it must be a typo.

  52. Thank you for this Laid-Back Kitty pattern. I have saved it for years and finally sat down to attempt it. Your instructions, videos, and photographs were very helpful. While my little "Tiger" has his quirks and is clearly worked by a novice, I'm pleased . My daughter will adore him since I crocheted the kitten to be an orange tabby like her beloved wild cat who went missing 7 years ago.

  59. You know? For 1, you NEVER mention how long (short, puny, etc., really) this cat is. I thought I was going to be making one the size of a REAL cat, not the size of a newborn. I was TOTALLY p'd off when I realized it was nothing of the sort. I can see why you NEGLECTED to mention the finished size. You deceived so many people. Mind you, he is super cute. My oldest daughter loved him, but that still doesn't take away from the fact you never mentioned the finished size. So tell me, is there ANY way to make this kitty at least twice, maybe 3 times the size of this newborn?

    2) After doing the middle (white) part, the head did NOT line up with the white on the belly 'cause as you crochet the section, it keeps winding up further & further off to the side. That shouldn't have happened, but it did & don't go saying I made the mistake, that I did something wrong, 'cause I didn't. I followed YOUR instructions just as YOU wrote them. So if anyone made the mistake, it was you. I've always followed written instructions to the T & everything ALWAYS came out right. Not off centered, crooked or anything. I wish you'd redo that pattern, including adding in how big the kitty will be. I doubt you will, & you'll delete this too. You don't want ANYone knowing you screwed up, but will never admit to it.

    1. Do you realize this is a free pattern? If you would have read above she mentioned she fixed a mistake she made. She clearly has the size of the cat posted too. Read through all the other comments and maybe you will see others didn't have a problem at all. Why are you so angry? She is such a nice, talented women. She is giving us free patterns. When I started to read your post I thought you were joking. Be kind. The more kindness you spread, the happier you will feel.

  60. Oh my goodness! This is the most adorable animal I have ever crocheted! I love that this kitty looks so much like the real kitty in the photo, even the shape of his markings. I made him with DK yarn so he would be the perfect size for my grand kitty. Just got a pic of him with his new little buddy. He loves it. Thank you for sharing this fun pattern. It was very easy to follow and fun to make.

  61. Hello Pam, thank you so much for the very cute pattern, it is really adorable, just a
    quick question - in the tail instructions: Rnd 6 to 7: 1 sc per sc (9 scs)
    Rnd 8: Sc2tog, 7 scs (8 scs)
    Rnd 9 to 26: 1 sc per sc (9 scs)
    so is it 8scs or 9?
