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

Free crochet cat pattern: a Leggy Tuxedo Cat amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A black cat with a white bib and muzzle and green eyes sits back on its round body, with two very long black legs in white socks stretched out in front. You need about 80 m of yarn: 55 m black, 15 m white, 5 m pink and 5 m light pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. A funny shelf sitter and a good gift for tuxedo cat lovers. You can spin the 3D model and follow the pattern round by round.

How to crochet the Leggy Tuxedo Cat

Intermediate · 9 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 10 pieces in rounds: Cat head and body, Long leg ×2, Ear ×2, Muzzle, Tail, Cheek ×2, White bib (93 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 7 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.

Gauge

RemixCrochet it

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.

  19. Size before assembly: about 7.5 cm at the widest, 6.1 cm long; 25 rounds.
  20. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  21. 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.

  10. Size before assembly: an oval about 3.2 × 2 cm at the widest, 11.5 cm long; 33 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 vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
  11. With white: ch 5.
  12. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
  13. 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.

  9. Size before assembly: about 4.1 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.
  10. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a spoon: push the front wall into the back wall (not down to a thin plate) — a concave spoon about 4.7 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 41 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

  5. Size before assembly: an oval about 2.7 × 1.9 cm at the widest, 1.5 cm long; 5 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 front 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 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  6. With white: ch 4.
  7. 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.

  4. Size before assembly: about 1.1 cm at the widest, 5 cm long; 14 rounds.
  5. 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 ≈ 90° around round 8<!-- the bend spreads over 6 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 8, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 7 and 9 together (2 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.

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

  6. A flat oval about 4.8 × 4.4 cm; 6 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. 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 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  7. With white: ch 3.
  8. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

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 14 mm (on the cat head and body): between rounds 15 and 16, 8 st apart (count along round 15: about 3.8 st each side of the centre front line). Iris green #b9d657.
  • Satin stitch (on the muzzle): in hot pink thread, a triangle about 5 mm wide and 3.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre top line .
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (in round 1, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 2, on the centre bottom line).
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 2, on the centre bottom line) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
