A free crochet Christmas cat pattern for a chibi kitten dressed up as a little Christmas tree with a yellow star on top. This amigurumi cat peeks out of a green hood with cat ears, and its tiered tree dress has snowy scalloped edges, a gold garland and bright baubles; one paw waves hello. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and stands about 19 cm (7.5 in) tall to the star, with 14 mm safety eyes; the tiers are chain rings with shell edging, and the face, tree top, star and baubles are sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

Bend ≈ 90° around round 7<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 7, 1.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left <!-- st 1.7 left -->). On the inner side draw rounds 6 and 9 together (3 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.
