Free crochet cat pattern: a Cat in Basket with Eggshell Hat amigurumi, about 14 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The toy is an orange tabby kitten sitting in a woven basket with pastel eggs around it and a pale blue zigzag eggshell perched on its head, looking a little worried. You need about 145 m of yarn: 50 m orange, 20 m tan, 20 m dark tan, 10 m light blue, 5 m brown, 5 m pink, 5 m mint, 5 m lilac, 5 m white, 5 m dark orange, 5 m cream, 5 m yellow and 5 m dark pink. Plan on roughly 5 hours. Sits happily on a shelf as a spring decoration or a present for cat lovers at Easter. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern, working the basket, eggs and cat separately.
