This tiny cat from DIY Fluffies is a great entry point into amigurumi because of its simple, rounded shape. The design is very forgiving for beginners, featuring a one-piece body with tiny legs and a tail attached. What makes this crochet cat stand out is its colorful rainbow hat. It even has custom holes so the cat’s ears can pop through, which is an incredibly cute detail!
Depending on the yarn you choose, you can create two very different vibes. Using sport weight cotton and a 2.5mm hook gives you a neat, 4-inch desk buddy or keychain. If you prefer something squishier, switching to bulky chenille yarn and a 3.5mm hook will bump the size up to about 6 inches. With safety eyes and a simple embroidered pink nose, it’s a quick project that’s perfect for gifting or keeping as a little companion.
