A free crochet cat pattern for a round, squishy amigurumi mochi kitty with tiny pointed ears. This cat plushie is cream white with a soft grey tabby patch over one ear, rosy cheeks, a little pink nose and a short curled tail at the back. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, ends up about 7.5 cm (3 in) tall and 9 cm wide, and has just one body piece plus ears, a tail and two paw nubs sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to check every piece.

- Size before assembly: about 8.9 cm at the widest, 7.1 cm long; 29 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.
- → 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 2.9 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 6 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. 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 3.3 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 29 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

- 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 ≈ 110° around round 4<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 4, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 2 and 5 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.
- Size before assembly: about 1.4 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 4 rounds.
