If you have an hour to spare, this free cat amigurumi pattern from DIY Fluffies is the perfect way to spend it. It’s an ideal project for beginners because it moves quickly and helps you master the basic techniques of making toys without a massive time commitment. Because it’s so small, it’s also a great “palette cleanser” between larger projects or a quick way to use up that last bit of yarn in your stash.
The beauty of this free cat amigurumi pattern is that it works with literally any yarn weight you have on hand. If you use sport weight cotton, you’ll end up with a tiny 2-inch kitty that’s perfect for a keychain. If you’re in the mood for something squishier, swapping to super bulky chenille yarn will give you a 6-inch plushie. No matter which size you choose, the result is a tiny, charming cat that makes a fantastic gift or a cute desk companion.
