Free crochet christmas ornaments pattern: a Cat in a Stocking Ornament amigurumi, about 16 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a ginger tabby kitten peeking out of a red Christmas stocking with a white cuff, green stripe and white toe, with big green eyes and a red loop on the back. You need about 95 m of yarn: 35 m red, 25 m orange, 10 m white, 5 m dark orange, 5 m cream, 5 m green, 5 m light pink and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. Hang it on the Christmas tree or the mantel, or give it to a cat lover as a handmade gift. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Size before assembly: about 7.3 cm at the widest, 9.4 cm long; 30 rounds.
- Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
- Change to green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R23).
- Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R25).
- Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R26).
- 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 ≈ 85° around round 17<!-- 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 17, on the centre top line). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 10 to round 25, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 15 rounds) and fasten off inside.
- Size before assembly: about 6.6 cm at the widest, 5.4 cm long; 22 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.
- Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R20).
- 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: an oval about 2.6 × 2.2 cm at the widest, 1 cm long; 4 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.
- With cream: ch 3.
- 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.
- Size before assembly: about 3.5 cm at the widest, 2.1 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. 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 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 35 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 4 rounds.
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.

- 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 6<!-- 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 6, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 7 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.
