I was looking for simple beginner Amigurumi projects for a crochet class I am teaching, and loved the Roly Poly Cat pattern by Nina Shimizu. When I created my example, however, it seemed a little larger/more complex than I wanted for my class’s first amigurumi project; thus I’ve created this smaller modified pattern. Please use in it any way you like!

I used an F hook, worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Super Saver), and 10mm safety eyes, but you can use any size hook/yarn you like as long as your stitches are tight enough to keep the stuffing in!
