Mittens the Realistic Cat

Pattern info at: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2023/12/mittens-realistic-cat.html

Mittens is a realistic and low-sew amigurumi cat. This crochet pattern features beautiful body shaping, clever color changes for details in the ears, and protruded no-sew paws that make Mittens look like a real kitten. Different yarn fibers, such as plush velvet chenille yarn, fur yarn, blanket yarn, wool, or cotton and acrylic can be used to create various looks. This sweet kitty is perfect to make as a birthday gift or Christmas holiday gift for boys and girls. It is gender-neutral and unisex, and a stunning high-end toy to bring for selling at craft fairs, markets, and boutiques.

The PDF pattern includes 30+ progress photos as part of this detailed step-by-step tutorial to help guide you through the doll-making process.
