Cat the Floppy Friend

Pattern info page here: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2024/06/cat-floppy-friend.html

Cat the “Floppy Friend” is a sweet and low-sew kitten doll. The head, body, legs, and tail are completely no-sew; only the ears require sewing to the head. This snuggler is a take on the traditional lovey for babies and little ones given its floppy, under-stuffed body. This makes it perfect for cuddling and snuggling up to! It is very poseable and a great prop for cute, newborn photoshoots, or as nursery room decor. It’s also a lovely birthday gift, baby shower gift, or Christmas holiday gift for babies, toddlers, and kids. It’s also suitable as a craft fair product. This pattern was designed with super bulky weight chenille velvet yarn for a soft and plush amigurumi. Blanket yarn can also be tried out for this pattern. The PDF pattern includes in-line progress photos as part of a detailed photo tutorial to help guide you through the doll-making process.
