The knitting process really captivated me.And, like any lazy craftswoman, I liked the fact that this cutie has no sewn-on elements. Well, except for the tail. But everything else - ears, paws - everything is knitted together! Let's get started? Use the pattern and in the end we should get this beautiful crochet cat:We start knitting from the head: 1 row:cast on 6 single crochet stitches into the ring; Row 2: 2 single crochet stitches in each loop (12); Row 3: *1 single crochet stitch, 1 increase* - repeat 6 times (18);Row 4: *2 dc, 1 increase* - repeat 6 times (24); Row 5: 3 dc, increase, 4 double crochet from next loop, 3 ch, 4 double crochet in same loop, dc, increase, *3 dc, increase* - 2 times, dc, 4 double crochet from next loop, 3 ch, 4 double crochet in same loop, dc, increase, 4 dc (51); It looks like this:6th row: 4 st.b.n., increase, st.b.n., knit 8 double crochets into one loop, 2 dc, increase, *4 dc, increase* - 2 times, dc, knit 8 double crochets into one loop, 2 dc, increase, 4 dc (34);7th row: *5 st.b.n., increase* – 5 times, 4 st.b.n. (39); 8 row: 39 st.b.n.; 9 row: 13 st.b.n., 2 decreases, 6 st.b.n., 2 decreases, 12 st.b.n.

(20); 22 row: 12 st.b.n., increase, 7 st.b.n. (21); 23 row: 2 st.b.n., increase, 10 st.b.n., increase, 7 st.b.n. (23);24 row: 14 st.b.n., increase, 8 st.b.n. (24); Row 25: 15 st.b.n., increase, 8 st.b.n. (25);Row 26: 3 st.b.n., increase, 12 st.b.n., increase, 8 st.b.n. (27); 27 row: 17 st.b.n., increase, 9 st.b.n. (28);28 row: 4 st.b.n., increase, 23 st.b.n. (29); Row 29: 5 st.b.n., increase, 23 st.b.n. (30);Row 30: 5 sc, increase, 24 sc (31); Row 31: *increase, 5 sc* - 2 times, 18 sc (34); Row 32: sc, *increase, 6 sc* - 2 times, 18 sc (37);33rd row: st.b.n., *increase, 7 st.b.n.* – 2 times, 9 sc, decrease, 8 sc (39); Row 34: 2 sc, *increase, 8 sc* – 2 times, increase, 18 sc (42); Row 35: 3 sc, *increase, 9 sc* – 3 times, decrease, 7 sc (44); Row 36: 3 sc, *increase, 10 sc* – 2 times, increase, 18 sc (47); Row 37: 4 sc, *increase, 11 sc* - 2 times, increase, 10 sc, decrease, 6 sc (49); Row 38: +3 sc = 5 sc, *increase, 12 sc* - 2 times, increase, 2 sc, *skip next 8 single crochets, 1 sc* - 2 times (39 crocheted, total along the edge - 36); As you can see in the photo, the cat currently hasthis type - there is already a head, chest and 3 holes - one large one and we will now finish knitting it. There are two more small holes - these are the future paws of the cat. They remain open for now. Row 39: 2 sc, *increase, 13 sc* - 2 times, increase, 5 sc (39); Row 40: 3 sc, increase, 14 sc, increase, 12 sc, 8 double crochet from one loop, 5 sc, decrease (47); Row 41: 5 sc, 8 double crochet from one loop, 41 sc (54);42 row: 54 st.b.n.; 43 row: 45 st.b.n., decrease, 5 sc, decrease (52); Row 44: 6 sc, decrease, 37 sc, decrease, 5 sc (50); Row 45: 6 sc, decrease, 36 sc, decrease, 4 sc (48); Row 46: 6 sc, decrease, 35 sc, decrease, 3 sc (46); Row 47: decrease, 4 sc, decrease, 33 sc, 8 double crochet from 1 loop, 4 sc (51);Row 48: 5 sc, 8 double crochets from 1 loop, 33 sc, 1 loop is knitted from 8 columns of the previous row (the cat’s back paw is formed), 4 sc (51);49 row (without 21 st.b.n.): 5 st.b.n., 1 loop is knitted from 8 columns of the previous row (the cat's back paw is formed), 17 sc (24 loops in this row, 44 in total). Do not cut the thread. Now knit the bottom: Row 50: *1 decrease, 2 sc* - repeat to the end of the row (33). By the way, this row can be knitted for the back wall, in which case the cat will be more stable, the bottom will be strictly outlined. Row 51: *1 decrease, 1 sc* - repeat to the end of the row (22); Row 52: some decreases (11); Row 53: sc, 5 decreases (6); Close the hole, the thread can be broken. You should get a neat bottom, as in the photo:Our princess's front paws will be knitted fromremaining holes, below the chest. Each paw from a separate hole. Attach a new thread to the hole from 12 columns for the paw. The paws are generally knitted identically, only row 9 is different. Row 1: *1 decrease, 4 dc* - 2 times (10); Rows 2-8: 10 single crochets;Row 9 (for the right paw): 6 sc, 4 sc.from 1 loop, 4 sc from 1 loop, 2 sc (16); Row 9 (for the left paw): 2 sc, 4 sc from 1 loop, 4 sc from 1 loop, 6 sc (16); Row 10: 16 sc; Row 12: decreases. Can be done behind the back wall. (8) Close the opening well.It's time for the final, but very importantmoment – the tail! Otherwise, what kind of cat is it without a tail? Attention! For convenience, you can start stuffing the tail while knitting. I do it like this: knit several rows, stuff, then again... Row 1: a ring of 6 sc; Row 2: increases (12); Row 3: 1 sc, 1 increase (18); Row 4: leave 7 sc unknitted, knit the remaining 11 sc; (such an element is left specifically so that the tail can be beautifully sewn on) Rows 5-12: 11 sc; Row 13: 1 decrease, 9 sc (10); Rows 14-21: 10 sc; Row 22: 1 decrease, 8 sc (9); Rows 23-30: 9 sc; Row 31: 1 decrease, 7 sc (8); Rows 32-39: 8 sc. Close the opening. Carefully sew the tail to the finished kitty. In general, our graceful kitty is ready. All that remains is to make the eyes and tie a ribbon around the neck.
