Perhaps the most popular among cat amigurumi toys are those made in the shape of Hello Kitty. As we all know, Hello Kitty is a fictional character and especially helps children love cats. We see that cat amigurumi toys are generally made with yarn, but here it is clearly seen that cotton yarn is used.

You may think that the toy is for Christmas, but you can make it suitable for different concepts by changing the colors of the yarn used in making the cat. Now if you are ready, let’s start.

Amigurumi Hello Kitty looks quite different from the standards. Although the crochet toy is designed for Christmas, there is no harm in trying to change the colors of the toy. If you are ready to make crochet hello kitty, let’s start. First, we will crochet the head of the cute cat.
HEAD:
– In white yarn:
R1: 6 sc in a MR (6)
R2: 6 Inc (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc)x 6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc)x 6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc)x 6 (30)
R6-7 (2 rounds): 30 sc (30)
R8: (4 sc, inc)x 6 (36)
R9: (5 sc, inc)x 6 (42)
R10: 42 sc (42)
R11: (5 sc, Dec)x 6 (36)
R12: (4 sc, Dec)x 6 (30)
R13: (3 sc, Dec)x 6 (24)
R14: 12 dec (12)
R15: 6 Dec (6)
-FO and sew the hole close
After crocheting the head of the toy, it is recommended that we crochet the body and legs. The legs and body of the toy are crocheted in one piece. Now let’s crochet these pieces as well.
LEGS AND BODY:
– In white yarn
R1: 6 sc in a MR (6)
R2: 6 Inc (12)
R3: (2 sc, inc)x 4 (16)
R4: BLO, 16 sc (16)
R5: 16 sc (16)
– FO for the ONLY first leg NOT the second leg
Body:
R6: Attach the second leg to the first leg, 32 sc (32)
– Change to red:
R7: 32 sc (32)
R8: BLO, 7 sc, 2 inc, 12 sc, 2 inc, 9 sc (36)
R9: 36 sc (36)
R10: (2 sc, Dec)x 9 (27)
R11: (3 sc, dec)x 5, 2 sc (22)
R12: 22 sc (22)
R13: (5 sc, dec)x 3, sc (19)
–Finish stuffing
–FO and leave a long tail to sew later
After crocheting the legs and body of the toy, we need to make the cat’s arms, which are one of the easiest parts. Please note that the bobble stitch technique is used on the cat’s arms.
ARMS:
– In white yarn:
R1: 6 sc in a MR
R2: (1 sc, inc)x 3 (9)
R3: 4 sc, BO, 4 sc (9)
red:
R4: 9 sc (9)
R5: 9 sc (9)
Fold the arms in half and do 4 sc
We crocheted the cat’s arms. You then need to sew the arms to the cat’s body. After completing this process, you will only need to make the cat’s ears. Also, the toy has a scarf. First, let’s crochet the scarf and put this cute accessory aside for now.
SCARF:
– In white yarn:
– Make a slip knot and Ch 29
– From 2nd stitch, from the hook (SLST, BO)x 14
– F.O. and leave a tail to sew (You should have 14 Bobble stitches in total)
Finally, you need to crochet the ears of the toy and sew them onto the toy’s head in the correct position.
EARS:
– In white yarn:
R1: 4 sc in a MR
R2: 4 Inc (8)
R3: (3 sc, inc)x 2 (10)
R4: (1 sc, inc)x 5 (15)
Hello kitty amigurumi toys usually wear overalls. In the design I shared today, we see that the toy has a tiny skirt. With the coloring of the crochet cat’s body, the toy will look like it’s wearing a dress.
SKIRT:
– With white yarn, insert you hook into the front Loops of R8 of the body (Pic 1), grab white yarn and ch 1 (pic 2), (sc 3 into 1 stitch, sl into the next stitch)x 18
-SL into the start of the skirt and FO. Weave in the tail.
Finally, you need to make a Christmas hat for this cute toy. However, if you wish, you can make this toy for special occasions such as Halloween. The toy looks great without a hat, but the crocheted kitty must have this cute hat to make it suitable for the Christmas concept.
CHRISTMAS HAT:
– In red yarn
R1: 4 sc in a MR (4)
R2: (1 sc, inc)x 2 (6)
R3: (2 sc, inc)x 2 (8)
R4: (3 sc, inc)x 2 (10)
R5: 10 sc (10)
R6: (4 sc, inc)x 2 (12)
R7: (2 sc, inc)x 4 (16)
R8: (3 sc, inc)x 4 (20)
R9: (4 sc, inc)x 4 (24)
R10: 24 sc (24)

– In white yarn, Ch 3 In furthest stitch from hook, BO and FO leave a long tail to sew.

– Sew the ears to R3-5/6 the head
– Sew the arms to R12 of the
Body
– Connect both ends of the scarf and Weave in the tail.
– Sew the hat where desired (1 recommend to sew it more to the right side of the head, Pic 3)
The toy’s whiskers and eyes are made of felt. It is possible to make these parts using yarn, but it is almost impossible to get the look as seen in the photo.
FELT DETAILS:
In black felt: (pic 4)
– Cut out 2 slightly oval- shaped eyes
– 6 matching whiskers
– In yellow felt:
– Cut out one oval (nose)
