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

A crochet amigurumi inspired by Pusheen from Pusheen: a chubby grey tabby cat lying like a loaf. About 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A free pattern with every round counted, a 3D model to turn around and a printable PDF. Unofficial fan-made design, not affiliated with or endorsed by Pusheen Corp..

How to crochet the Grey Tabby Loaf Cat

Intermediate · 8 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 9 pieces in rounds: Body, Head, Ear ×2, Paw ×4, Tail (72 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 6 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.

What you'll need

Tick things off as you gather them.

0 of 8 gathered

Gauge

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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 7.7 cm at the widest, 8.7 cm long; 31 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre top 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.
  2. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
  3. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R11).
  4. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R14).
  5. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  6. Press the piece flat to about 5 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 35 % --> 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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 7.4 cm at the widest, 5.8 cm long; 24 rounds.
  2. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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 %) -->

  1. Of these: front — 2 (left and right); back — 2 (left and right). Size before assembly: about 1.4 cm at the widest, 0.9 cm long; 3 rounds.
  2. 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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 2.8 cm long; 8 rounds.
  2. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  3. Change to stripe (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R4).
  4. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
  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.

    1. Body is the base; its magic ring is at the back.
    1. Head → body. Centre: in round 25, on the centre top line. Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 15–29 of the body (all the way round). It points up and slightly forward. Press it into the base by about 2.8 cm.
    1. Ear → head (make 2). Centre: in round 5, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (16 st); the seam covers rounds 3–9 of the head, about 6 st wide. Keep the spoon hollow side forward; the opening lies in a curve following the head, both layers sewn down. It points up and slightly outward.
    1. Paw (front) → body (make 2). Centre: in round 22, 4.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (10 st); the seam covers rounds 20–24 of the body, about 3 st wide. It points down and slightly forward.
    1. Paw (back) → body (make 2). Centre: in round 7, 4 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (10 st); the seam covers rounds 5–9 of the body, about 4 st wide. It points down.
    1. Tail → body. Centre: in round 3, on the centre top line. Sew around the opening (9 st); the seam covers rounds 1–5 of the body, about 5 st wide. It points backward and up.

    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 9 mm (on the head): between rounds 12 and 13, 8 st apart (count along round 12: about 3.9 st each side of the centre front line).
    • Embroidery in mouth thread (on the head), straight stitches through: (in round 14, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 14 and 15, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 14, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 14 and 15, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 14, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Blush about 8 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the head, both sides): between rounds 14 and 15, 6 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour blush.
    • Embroidery in stripe thread (on the head), straight stitches through: (between rounds 4 and 5, on the centre front line) → (in round 8, on the centre front line).
    • Embroidery in stripe thread (on the head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 5, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 8 and 9, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
