About the benefits for humans of animals from the familyfelines have been known since ancient times. A cat can extinguish negative energy and bring calm and tranquility to your home. Whatever cat you choose: live or artificial, made of porcelain or fabric, it will always provide a few pleasant minutes. Try crocheting a cute toy or cat pillow, and you will get a lot of positive emotions, because thanks to the knitting process, the nervous system instantly calms down. In this article we bring to your attention several models of cats that are made using a hook. Each of them can be used not only as a soft toy, but also as an original gift. First, let's try to knit the famous cartoon cat Matroskin. It can then be placed in the children's room.To link it you will need:

white yarn (1 skein);
gray yarn (1 coil);
pastel-pink yarn (small hanks);
a pair of buttons;
thread with a needle;
crochet hook;
a little synthepon.

We knit a cat according to the pattern.The work starts from the head. We will need to make 2 equal halves of it. The simplicity of the pattern will surprise you: from the middle you need to knit a pair of flattened circles, the diameter of which will be 100 mm. After you have finished weaving identical circles, sew them together by making a small hole. A padding polyester is stuffed through it and then it is sewn up.Let's move on to knitting the body.We will knit from the bottom of the body. Having cast six loops, add loops from them around the circumference and knit a sleeve 100 mm in diameter. After every two rows, decrease one loop so that where the cat’s neck is located, the sleeve has a diameter of 60 mm, and the body itself is 140-150 mm in diameter. Now it can be stuffed with filler and sewn to the previously knitted head.It's time to knit the paws.The front and back legs are knitted using the same pattern. Using a hook, a tube is knitted around the circumference, the diameter of which is 30 mm, and the length is – 80-100 mm, and slightly expands at the end. We also stuff the paws with padding polyester, and then they are sewn to the body. At the same time, the hind legs move slightly towards the head so that the cat sits comfortably.Now you can start knitting the tail.This will be a long sleeve 20mm in diameter. We fill it with padding polyester as the work progresses. Once completed, it is also sewn to the body. Without putting the hook aside, tie and sew it to the muzzle, placing a padding polyester underneath.The ears are also knitted not empty, in the formtriangle. To add rigidity, you can use a thread folded in half. Finally, you should attach button eyes, ears and embroider antennae. Our Matroskin is ready! Another version of Matroskin the cat in the form of a sofa cushion. Such a cute cat will look great on a sofa or sofa. Knitting a similar “kitten” stitch The pillows proceed in a circle, from the tail to a single sleeve. Nobody forces you to use only two colors when knitting. You can imagine that the paws, tail and face of a cat – this is Matroskin itself, and part of the body is striped – his "vest". In other words, the head, ears and paws can be knitted in any shade.Creation of a toy cat.This cheerful kitten not only has a playful character, but also an unusual shape. We will knit his head with a diamond. In the hind legs, the thickening begins from the hip, and we will sew them to the cat’s body from the side, and not from the end. A wire should be inserted into these paws, which will run in an arc perpendicular to the cat’s body. In the middle of this arc another piece of wire is tied for the tail. Each end is bent into a loop with wire so that it does not tear the knitted part. After such simple manipulations, our toy cat will be able to hold his tail like a pipe and confidently stand on his hind legs.Making an anti-stress cat.This toy has a double argument that counteracts negativity. The first – it is made in the form of a cat, the second – She can, on occasion, easily hit the stimulus by throwing it at it, since it is a ball. By crocheting many of these cats, you can organize a real cat fight. The knitting pattern here also cannot be called complicated. First you need to get some kind of ball (rubber or plastic), after which you should completely tie it. After this, a pair of triangle-ears, a pair of beady eyes are sewn on, and we embroider the mouth. And of course, we sew on a long tail so that the craft really looks like a cat.We knit a rattle cat.By analogy with the previous craft, you can knit a rattle cat. The only difference – Instead of a ball, you need to put a chocolate egg capsule inside. It’s also easy to create a corresponding sound effect – It is enough to put a few beads or peas into the capsule. We start knitting with the paws and tail, which are then sewn to the cat’s body. The muzzle is decorated with eyes, ears and nose. Due to the ease of knitting, you can make a whole family of these cats in one evening. This completes our master class on crocheting cats. Naturally, we haven’t told you about all the models of hand-knitted cats, but we are sure that the proposed options will be enough to awaken the desire to crochet and generate your own ideas!
