The masterpieces of amigurumi are approximate – the height and number of stitches can be varied depending on the required size, for example, you can crochet the black (pupil) only in the first row 6 sc, I hope the principle is clear. Such eyes are suitable for large kittens, but the options from “iris” are unlikely. I think you can make the whites then from fabric + bead/sequin, I often do it that way) ASSEMBLY So, now you need to sew the body to the head. I did it this way: I aligned 18 stitches of the body (where the neck ends – front, where the back is rounded – the bottom) with 18 stitches on the bottom row of the head and sewed them together – it turned out very neat. But you can play with the muzzle, sew it sideways, turned, etc. to your taste) Sew the legs and tail so that the weight is distributed correctly. DONE!!!
