A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet loaf cat pattern: a Bread Loaf Cat amigurumi, about 9 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A cream cat shaped like a rounded loaf of bread with a golden-brown crust top, three cream score marks, two small ears, pink cheeks, a tiny tail and no legs. You need about 65 m of yarn: 30 m cream, 25 m tan, 5 m light pink and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Make it as a soft desk companion or a gift for people who love both cats and baking. Turn the 3D model around and follow every round of the pattern.

How to crochet the Bread Loaf Cat

Beginner-friendly · 9 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 6 pieces in rounds: Loaf cat body, Cheek ×2, Ear ×2, Tiny tail (43 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 4 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

What you'll need

Tick things off as you gather them.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

0 of 33 rounds done

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 12.2 × 7 cm at the widest, 7.8 cm long; 27 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the bottom of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 6 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With cream: ch 15.
  3. Change to tan (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R16).
  4. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  5. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 33 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3.2 cm at the widest, 2.1 cm long; 7 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 3.7 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 32 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.1 cm at the widest, 2.4 cm long; 7 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

    1. Loaf cat body is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Cheek → loaf cat body (make 2). Centre: in round 11, 6.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 9–13 of the loaf cat body, about 4 st wide.
    1. Ear → loaf cat body (make 2). Centre: in round 27, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (19 st); the seam covers rounds 24–27 of the loaf cat body, about 11 st wide. Keep the spoon hollow side forward; the opening lies in a curve following the loaf cat body, both layers sewn down. It points up and slightly outward.
    1. Tiny tail → loaf cat body. Centre: in round 8, on the centre back line. Sew around the opening (8 st); the seam covers rounds 8–9 of the loaf cat body, about 3 st wide. It points backward and slightly up.

    Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

    • Safety eyes with a printed glint 8 mm (on the loaf cat body): between rounds 12 and 13, 8 st apart (count along round 12: about 3.8 st each side of the centre front line).
    • Embroidery in brown thread (on the loaf cat body), straight stitches through: (between rounds 11 and 12, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 11, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, on the centre front line) → (in round 11, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Satin stitch (on the loaf cat body): in light tan thread, a oval about 22 mm wide and 4.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 35° clockwise (looking at that surface); centred in round 24, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right .
    • Satin stitch (on the loaf cat body): in light tan thread, a oval about 22 mm wide and 4.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 35° clockwise (looking at that surface); centred in round 24, on the centre front line.
    • Satin stitch (on the loaf cat body): in light tan thread, a oval about 22 mm wide and 4.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 35° clockwise (looking at that surface); centred in round 24, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
    • Satin stitch (on the loaf cat body): in hot pink thread, a triangle about 6 mm wide and 4.2 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 11 and 12, on the centre front line .
