★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE+
★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :
- Yarn:
We need Kid Mohair, for example: Alize, YarnArt, Gazzal… (mohair/polyamide, 50g ~ 500m), black color. And also black thin sewing thread (thickness №50). We will crochet a kitten in 2 threads - 1 mohair thread + 1 sewing thread.
You will also need some black floss to embroider the nose, and pink to embroider the cheeks.

  • Hook №0.9 (0.9mm)
  • Cotter pins and joint disks: O-shaped pin (1.6х16mm – 1pc, for the head), Т-shaped pin (1.6х16mm – 2pcs, for the legs), disk for the head (4mm – 1pc), disks for the legs (8mm – 4pcs); on such a small size you can do without washers.
  • Wire 0.7mm thick. For the arms 1pc ~11cm long. I advise you to use steel wire (for example, floral wire, this wire is stiffer and holds its shape better).
  • Fiberfill (to stuff)
  • Glue eyes (3mm)
  • For the parts around the eyes you will need green felting wool, and for the pumpkin silhouette - green and orange. We will also need 2 needles, triangular felting needle №38 and star felting needle №38. You can use fluffy applique fabric instead of felting.
  • A piece of plastic or cardboard to insert into the pendant, 1pc, diameter ~35mm
  • Thin black cord, 2pcs each 16cm long
  • A piece of Velcro to brush the toy, and a felting needle (for example, star felting needle №38) to correct and lay the fur
  • Needle, safety pins, scissors, adhesive tape, PVA glue, instant glue, glue Moment Crystal, round pliers, thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).

★ SKILLS REQUIRED:

You must have basic crochet and brush skills - this pattern is not so easy so please ask me if you will have some questions/difficulties.
