Fill your head with holofiber very tightly.

Place plastic balls in the lower part of the body, you can use inexpensive Chinese beads (you can use other material of a similar texture), and loosely fill the rest of the body with filler. You can put a Kinder Surprise case inside the body after filling it large beads, we get a sort of rattle. In the lower arms and legs ( white which) you can also put small beads, do not stuff your arms and legs further. Gather all the parts and sew with a hidden seam.

Now you need to embroider the muzzle. On a white background we embroider a nose-mouth and eyes with eyebrows.

There was a sleeping Japanese cat Amineko, who became our cunning Matroskin)).

Murrr!! Assistant.

Tired and went to bed

Have a great day!

The Amineko cat toy is one of the types of amigurumi toys. To work with crochet you need to prepare all the necessary tools:

hook
yarn of different colors

You can take yarn of different thicknesses, but you should take into account the size of the hook and its relationship with the yarn so that the knitting is tight. The cat is knitted in parts, and then all the parts are connected. All parts must be knitted in a circle, so first you need to make a Japanese loop, and knit the first six loops onto it, then tighten the Japanese loop tightly, so the toy will have no holes.

First of all, we undertake to knit the torso and head, we knit all the details in a circle. The head consists of 6 loops and 12 loops from each loop with 2 single crochets. In the next rows we add 6 loops and so on until we get 48 loops. After this, we knit 6 rows without adding and begin to decrease the loops in the same way as in the steps in which we added. When there are 18 loops left, the head will be finished.

We begin to knit the body in the same way as the head with 6 loops, then we also add 6 loops in each row until the number of loops is 36. We knit 16 rows without adding and subtract 6 loops in every third row. There should be 18 left and then the body can be considered complete.

After this, we proceed to knitting the paws, hind and front, they are knitted the same way. We start with 6 loops, so 12 are knitted, and the next 4 rows are knitted without adding loops. Now we go in the opposite direction and decrease 4 loops and knit in a circle, the number of loops should be 20 rows without changes. The tail consists of 6 loops at the beginning, then 2 loops are added so that the total number is 8. Then you need to knit 21 rows without changes.

The muzzle is knitted first with 7 loops, and then we double the number and then for 7 rows we do not change anything, in the last row we simply halve the number of loops.

We start the ear with 4 loops, then double the number and add 2 loops in each row, when there are 14 loops the ear is ready.

Final stage

Now every detail needs to be stuffed, but it is important to take into account that the cat must take different poses, which means it needs to be stuffed specifically. We stuff the head with synthetic padding, or cotton wool, or put peas into the bottom of the body, or small balls, etc., only then we sew the parts together using a hook. We connect the ears, muzzle and head together, and only then sew the completely finished cat’s head to the body. We make the nose from a bead, the eyes are embroidered, and only then we begin to make the paws and tail. Everything is knitted according to similar patterns. It is recommended to pour peas into the paws, this way you can give the cat different poses.
