A free amigurumi pattern for crochet Christmas ornaments: a round red bauble cat with a gold cap and a hanging loop. This cat plushie has pointed ears with pink insides, a cream muzzle, soft pink cheeks and a thin white band around its middle. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook and stands about 8 cm (3 in) tall; the eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered, and the ears, muzzle, cheeks, cap and loop are sewn on. The page gives a row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and an interactive 3D model to check every piece, so the little cat is ready to hang on the tree or to give as a gift.

Parts

- Size before assembly: about 5.4 cm at the widest, 5.4 cm long; 26 rounds.
- Change to snow white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
- Change to christmas red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R10).
- → 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 2.3 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 7 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 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 1.9 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 23 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 40 %) -->
- A flat oval about 1.9 × 1.6 cm; 3 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.
- With cream: ch 3.

- Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest (lies flat); 2 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in soft gold (same rounds, no colour changes).
