Martouf the cat

With this easy pattern you can make a lovely tabby cat, or make your own by adjusting the colours!

Size: 5.5 inch / 14 cm sitting when made with Istex Lett Lopi and hook E / 3,5 mm.

The instructions are written in US crochet terms. The pattern contains a list of materials, tools and accessories needed. Brand and colour numbers of the needed yarn. A clear and colour coded description of how to crochet and assemble the animal. Pictures and illustrations to help getting everything right.

Materials: For this cat you'll need worsted weight yarn and an E US/3.5 mm crochet hook. You'll need three colours of yarn: orange (1/3 of a 100 yard skein), rust (1/3) and white (1/8). The quantities are estimates. For the eyes I've used 8 mm animal eyes. You will also need fibrefill and pellets for extra weight in the body (I use Hama beads). Lopi colour numbers: 1410, 9427and 0051.
