I would like to introduce you to a cat amigurumi toy that you can use as a keychain and plays with a ball of yarn. First of all, I would like to point out that there is a detailed YouTube video on how to make a crocheted kitty. If you wish, you can click on the designer’s YouTube link and watch the video to make the toy.
Mini Amigurumi Cat Keychain Pattern
However, if you are confident, you can make an amigurumi toy using only the pattern. The recommended crochet hook size for making the kitty is 2 or 2.2 mm. Now, if you are ready, let’s start.
