The Crochet Pattern
1. The Cat’s Head (Oval Shape)
Foundation Oval
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 4 (ch 4).
Work along one side of chain:
- Skip the first chain (nearest to hook).
- Work 2 single crochet (2 sc) in the second chain.
- Work 1 single crochet (1 sc) in the third chain.
- Work 3 single crochet (3 sc) in the last (fourth) chain.
Work along opposite side of chain, completing oval:
- Work 3 single crochet (3 sc) down this side.
- Work 1 single crochet (1 sc) in last stitch.
- Join with a slip stitch (sl st) at the beginning to close round.
Increasing Rounds (Expanding Oval Shape)
Work the following rounds, always starting with chain 1 (ch 1) and ending by joining with a sl slip stitch (sl st):
- Round 1: Single crochet in each stitch around, with increases evenly spaced to widen oval.
- Round 2 & 3: Repeat similar increase pattern to extend the oval’s length and width.
- Follow video timestamps 2:45–4:42 for exact increase placement.
Body Rounds — Building the Cat Head
- Work 4 rounds with single crochet (sc) in each stitch around, no increases or decreases.
- This keeps the shape stable and creates the cat’s head body.
Decreasing & Stuffing
- Start decreasing stitches to shape top of head:
- Work 2 sc stitches, then 1 decrease (dec = sc2tog). Repeat around to reduce stitches evenly.
- Stuff the cat head lightly with stuffing material through the opening before completely closing.
- Continue decreasing until only a few stitches remain.
- Cut yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Use tapestry needle to sew remaining stitches closed securely.
2. Cat Ears (Make 2)
Ear in Pink and Brown Yarn
- Chain 4 (ch 4) with chosen color (Rosa Chiclet for one ear, Brigadeiro for the other).
- Skip the first chain.
Work down chain:
- 1 single crochet (1 sc) in 2nd chain from hook.
- 1 half double crochet (1 hdc) in 3rd chain.
- 1 double crochet (1 dc) in last (4th) chain for ear tip.
Shape sides:
- Work single crochet (sc) stitches along sides of chain foundation to build ears’ shape.
- Fasten off with yarn tail for sewing.
3. Bracelet Base (Natural Yarn)
- Chain enough stitches to fit your wrist comfortably (approximate 60–70 ch for standard adult wrist).
- Work rows of single crochet (sc) and chain spaces to create a delicate looped lace effect.
- The chain spaces add flexibility and style while the sc rows provide structure.
Assembly and Finishing
Attaching the Ears
- Position the two ears symmetrically on top of the cat head.
- Using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, sew them securely in place.
Adding the Eyes
- Use two number 8 black half-pearl beads as eyes.
- Glue these onto the 7th row of the cat head using T6000 glue.
- Allow glue to dry completely for a firm hold.
Embroidering Nose and Whiskers
- Using pink yarn, embroider a small nose centered beneath the eyes (a small triangle or upside-down “Y” shape works best).
- With brown yarn, stitch delicate whiskers extending to each side of the nose.
- Add a small mouth line if desired.
Attaching Jewelry Hardware
- Use pliers to open jump rings and attach to ends of bracelet base.
- Fix a clasp (lobster or toggle) to one jump ring for easy opening and closing.
Final Touches
- Glue the cat head securely onto the center of the bracelet base.
- Optionally, add blush or fabric chalk to the cheeks for a rosy effect.
Finished Size
- Cat head approx. 4–5 cm long and 3 cm wide
- Bracelet circumference adjustable; usually fits 16–19 cm wrist comfortably
- Bracelet band approx. 1.5 cm wide with decorative loops
