Although the cat amigurumi toy has a Christmas scarf, I don’t think it’s a toy designed for Christmas, so you can change the colors of the scarf. My preference would be dark brown tones for the scarf color. The biggest detail that makes the toy so magnificent is the big eyes.
Plush Holiday Cat Amigurumi Pattern
Such big eyes greatly affect the facial expression of the toy, and we also see that the crocheted cat has a black and big nose. As an unusual design, the cat’s lack of arms and legs made me a little sad.

Face Details
• For the face details, I use a small piece of black yarn and threaded it back and forth on the space between the eyes.
• For the whiskers, I insert the yarn through rounds 7 and 8. The first whisker I went over 2 stitches over and the second one 1 stitch over.
• *Alternative: You can use felt for the nose or the safety eyes that come in a nose shape*
Congratulations! You have finished you holiday Kitty.
