Crochet Cat Keychain Amigurumi
Materials:
- 5 ply cotton yarn
- Crochet hooks: For one size 3 mm hook (final size about 9 cm), for the other size 2.5 mm hook (final size about 7.5 cm)
- Stitch marker
Pattern Overview:
Base Yarn Magic Ring:
- Make a slip knot, then do 6 single crochet (sc) in the magic ring. Pull the tail to close the circle. Perform a slip stitch (sl st) to join the first stitch. Chain 1 to begin the next round.
Round 2 (Increase Round):
- Increase by performing two sc in each stitch around, changing colors as described for a multi-colored project. This round takes you from 6 to 12 stitches.
Round 3 (Increase Pattern Repeat):
- Follow a pattern of one sc in the first stitch, then two sc in the next stitch, repeating this sequence for a total count of 18 stitches by the end of the round.
For Round 4 (Continuous Increase):
- The pattern of increases changes to two sc followed by an increase in the next stitch, repeated for the entirety of the round to reach a total of 24 stitches.
Round 5 (Final Increase for Starting Segments):
- Work one sc in the next three stitches, then two sc in the next stitch. Repeat this sequence around to reach 30 stitches by the end of Round 5. This marks the end of pattern description for the increase rounds.
Further Instructions:
The instructions given detail the first five rounds, with indications that the pattern continues in the same manner of increasing stitches in subsequent rounds.
- For rounds 4 to 18, continue following a similar increase pattern as described. The video suggests referring to written descriptions for detailed increases in these rounds.
- After reaching round 18, the pattern advises switching to decrease stitches to begin closing the crochet object, with specific stitch counts detailed for reduction across rounds 19 to 20, culminating in a closed top by the final round (round 27).
Finishing:
- The closing notes detail sewing on additional pieces like ears and embroidery for features like eyes and a nose to complete the crocheted object, which is a cat design based on the use of colors and additional parts mentioned.
