Free crochet cat pattern: a Round Cat with a Heart Tail amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a round white cat with grey ears, pink nose, blushing cheeks and a surprised little mouth, its tail rising behind it and ending in a red heart. You need about 70 m of yarn: 50 m white, 10 m grey, 5 m pink and 5 m red. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Give it as a Valentine gift to a cat lover or keep it on a shelf as a cheerful companion. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Size before assembly: about 9.3 cm at the widest, 8.2 cm long; 32 rounds.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: about 3.8 cm at the widest, 2.4 cm long; 8 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.
- 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 4.4 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 38 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest, 1.3 cm long; 4 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly only and press it flat to about 5 mm thick.<!-- flattened 60 % -->
- Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest, 9 cm long; 25 rounds.
- 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. Bend ≈ 100° around round 16<!-- the bend spreads over 8 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 16, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 14 and 17 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.
- A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Flat motif — heart (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 3.5 × 3.5 cm; 3 rows.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.
