I designed this amigurumi cat as a fun way to use up some leftover yarn. It was inspired by my cat Teddy - “little round cat” being one of his many nicknames. All pieces are crocheted in the round except for the ears, and it’s stuffed firmly so that it sits up on its own. This kitty works up quickly and makes a nice gift for a cat lover.
