We’ve completed all the parts of the cat. If you’d like, you can sew the finished pieces together at this stage. Lastly, we will make the cat’s basket. As you can see in the photos, the cat is sitting inside a basket. The basket may look quite complex to make. We will crochet this part for a total of 10 rounds. You don’t need to stuff it, but make sure to shape it properly, as the cat will sit inside it.

All the parts are now ready. Now it’s time to assemble the cat.
Assembly
• Ears: Sew on rows 2-4 of the head with 6 stitches apart counted on row 3 (see photo 8 and 9)
• Tail: (optional: add a piece of wire to shape it) sew between rounds 3-4 on one side of the body (see pohoto 10)
• Head and body: Go to round 9 of the head and sew it to the body between rounds 1-2 on the opposite side to where you sewed the tail.
You can do whatever embroidery you want on the basket and the kitten’s expression.
