As usual, I scoured the Internet for a pattern that I can use. I found a bunch of interesting patterns, but none that I can use. So I just made one. Again, the pattern is not perfect.
Materials:
- 3.5 mm hook
- mercerized cotton yarn
- tapestry needle
- needle for sewing
- thread
Stitches used:
- chain (ch)
- half double crochet (hdc)
- double crochet (dc)
- double crochet 3 together (dc3tog)
The pattern:
Make 63 ch, turn. (mark 30th ch, this will be the base of the cat body)
Row 1: Dc on the 4th ch from the hook. Dc on next 2 ch. Dc3tog, dc3tog, dc on next 3 ch, 3dc on next 2 ch, dc on next 3, dc3tog, dc3tog. Dc all the way to st before marker (31st ch). This is the tail. Dc until the end. Turn.
Rows 2-4: Ch 3. Dc on same stitch. Dc all the way to second to the last stitch. 2dc on last stitch. Turn.
Rows 5-10: Ch 3. Dc until the end. Turn.
Rows 11-14: Dc3tog. Dc all the way, leaving 3 st for dc3tog at the end. Turn.
Rows 15-17: Ch 3. Dc until the end. Turn.
Row 18: Ch 3. Dc on same stitch. Dc all the way to second to the last stitch. 2dc on last stitch. Turn.
Rows 19-20: Ch3, 2dc on same stitch. Dc all the way to second to the last stitch. 2dc on last stitch. Turn.
Rows 21-24: Ch 3. Dc until the end. Turn.
Row 25: Dc3tog. Dc all the way, leaving 3 st for dc3tog at the end. Turn.
Rows 26-27: Ch 1, hdc. Dc all the way, leaving to 2 st for hdc and sc. Turn.
Row 28: Ch 1, hdc. Dc on next 4 st, hdc, sc, hdc, dc on next 4 st, hdc, sc. Turn.
You will now start working on one of the ears. Since I forgot to write down this part, I'm not sure if this is how I worked it, I can't really see the end stitches since I've already sewn my cat applique on the shirt.
Row 29-31: Dc2tog on each end, dc in the middle.
Row 32: Dc2tog. Fasten off.
To work on the next ear, repeat rows 29-32.
