Assembling and Decorating the Toy

  • Place the eyes between rows 10-11.
  • Sew the snout between rows 12-16, adding stuffing.
  • Embroider the nose, mouth, and whiskers.
  • Sew the body and head together.
  • Shape the cat’s snout.
  • Move the ears and choose a suitable position for sewing them.
  • Attach the upper legs to the sides of the body.
  • Attach the tail along the center of the back, between rows 23-24.
  • If the yarn is fluffy, you can brush the cat. I use a piece of Velcro for brushing, which is used for clothing fasteners.

Now your Sylvester the Cat is ready! Kiss it on the nose and give it a name. Enjoy your crocheted creation!
