Kitten for Valentine's Day.

We will need: Angora yarn 100g/500m, hook 1.5mm (or other yarn and corresponding hook), wire for the tail, fishing line for the whiskers, eyes, nose, coins for weighting the legs. And a couple of hours of good mood is a MUST!!!! Head: Row 1 6SC =6 Row 2 INC*6 =12 Row 3 (1SC+INC)*6=18 Row 4 3SC,2INC,5SC,2INC,2SC,2INC,2SC =24 Row 5 4SC,2INC,6SC,2INC,6SC,2INC,2SC =30 Row 6 5SC,1INC,2SC,1INC,2SC,1INC,6SC,INC,2SC,1INC,2SC,1INC,5SC=36 Row 7 6SC,1INC,3SC,1INC,3SC,INC,6SC,INC,3SC,1INC,3SC,1INC,6SC=42 Rows 8 -15 42SC =42 Row 16 (5SC+DEC)*6 =36 Cut the yarn Butt Row 1 6SC=6 Row 2 INC*6 =12 Row 3 (1SC+INC)*6 =18 Row 4 (2SC+INC)*6 =24 Row 5 (3SC+INC)*6 =30 Row 6 (4SC+INC)*6 =36 Row 7 (5SC+INC)*6 =42 Rows 8 – 14 42SC =42 Row 15 (5SC+DEC)*6=36 Row 16 60 SC=60 Row 17 60SC =60 Row 18 60SC =60 Row 19 (6SC+DEC)*7, 4SC =53 Row 20 53SC =53 Row 21 (DEC+5SC)*7+4SC=46 Row 22 46SC =46 Row 23 ROW 8SC,DEC,1SC,DEC,11SC,DEC,5SC,DEC,5SC,DEC,6SC=41 Row 24 ROW 8SC,DEC,1SC,DEC,10SC,DEC,5SC,DEC,5SC,DEC,2SC=36 Row 25 ROW 6SC,DEC,SC,2DEC,10SC,DEC,5SC,DEC,4SC =31 Row 26 ROW 5SC,DEC,1SC,DEC,11SC,DEC,8SC =28 For convenience, slightly stuff the workpiece and keep in mind that the oval part should be filled less to allow us to later tighten the muzzle. Row 27 28SC =28 Row 28 24SC,2DEC =26 Row 29 3SC,3 DEC, 17SC =23 Row 30 2SC,DEC,2SC,DEC,15SC =21 Row 31 3SC,DEC,1SC,DEC,1SC, (*PUFF STITCH",DC,SC)*3, 6SC = 19 * PUFF STITCH*- in one foundation stitch!=st. with 2 yarn overs, crochet the yarn overs, make another 2 yarn overs and crochet only the yarn overs, and for the third time make 2 yarn overs and crochet only the yarn overs= there will be 4 stitches on the hook= crochet them together and make one slip stitch in the same foundation stitch,SC.... Row 32 2SC,INC,2SC,INC,10SC, INC,2SC = 22 Well, the base Heart-Cat is knitted! From the wire through the “top” of the butt, insert the future tail straight through to the paw and make a loop in the paw so that the tail does not come out if you hang the cat. Now you need to find a coin with a diameter slightly larger than the resulting hole in the leg. Tuck the coin under the “toes” as well. We knit the base (it should be slightly smaller than the resulting hole): In my case Row 1 6SC = 6 Row 2 (INC)*6 =12 Row 3 (SC+INC)*6 =18 Sew the structure together with a flat seam. As a result, the workpiece should be able to stand on its own. TAIL Row 1 6SC=6 Row 2 INC*6 =12 Row 3 (1SC+INC)*6=18 Rows 4 – 8 18SC =18 Row 9 (4SC,DEC)*3=15 Row 10 -14 row 15SC=15 Row 15 (3SC,DEC)*3=12 Rows 16 -18 12SC=12 Row 19 (3SC,DEC)*2, 2SC=10 Row 20 then 10SC, number of rows to the desired length=10 As you knit, stuff a little. EARS Row 1 6CH Row 2 SC in the second from the hook, 4SC Row 3 chain stitch, 3SC,DEC Row 4 chain stitch, 2SC,DEC Row 5 chain stitch, 1SC,DEC Row 6 chain stitch, DEC Row 7 crochet the 2 remaining stitches together, cut the yarn leaving enough length for sewing, unravel the yarn to the beginning of knitting and sew the ears in place. Make the tightening as you see fit. You can do it in 2 holes or in three holes - whatever you like….
