Ch 14. bobble stitch in 4th ch from hook. Sc in the next 10 chs. On the next 2 rounds, you will need to push the arms of the cat to the outside so that you can place all of the sc on the body of the cat.

Row 13: Make leg: Ch 14. bobble stitch in 4th ch from hook. Sc in the next 10 chs.

Now we will be sewing the bottom of our cat closed: fold cat so that the open stitches on the bottom are together. Take the first 2 stitches that are closest to the leg just made, sl st through the back loops only. Continuing with back loops only, sl st the next 8 stitches together.

Make another leg: Ch 14. bobble stitch in 4th ch from hook. Sc in the next 10 chs.

Sl st the last 2 sts together to close up your cat. Cut yarn and weave in end.

Face Details: Place safety eyes between rows 3 and 4, about 3 stitches apart. With pink blanket yarn, stitch a nose one row under eyes. With black or white medium weight yarn, stitch a mouth under the nose and 2 or 3 whiskers on each side of the face. Stuff cat with a handful of poly-fil stuffing.

Ears: Now we will sew the cat head closed and add ears! We will be working into the unworked loops of the starting chain and working through both layers (front and back of the head) at the same time to sew it closed.

Starting in the two unused loops of the starting ch that are the farthest to the right, draw up a loop of yarn and ch 1. Working across the remaining chains on the top of the head, (hdc, 2 dc, hdc). sl st in the next 4 ch. (hdc, 2 dc, hdc), sl st in the last ch. Cut yarn and finish off!
