Translation: @homa063
This pattern allows you to crochet kawaii cats in three variations: white, Siamese, white-gray, and tricolor. Using plush yarn like YarnArt Dolce or Himalaya Dolphin Baby, you can make these small and cute amigurumi cats from yarn scraps. Depending on your chosen design, you’ll need 1-3 colors. The cheeks are shaded, and the eyes are embroidered with embroidery thread or fine yarn.
These cats make perfect keychains!
