[PATTERN] Easy Simple Cat

And here I am again - these days I was much more productive than earlier so I came up with another pattern. This one is very easy and it took me an hour to make this cat. It only uses basic stitches - magic ring, single crochet, double crochet and increase/decrease. Also, some slip stitches at the end.
It also requires minimal sewing, and if you don't have safety eyes, you can use felt, or embroidery to make them.
I hope you'll enjoy this pattern!
Keep an eye on my INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK for extra patterns that are coming soon!

I used Madame Tricote yarn and a 2.5mm hook. You can of course choose any yarn you like, with a corresponding hook.

The cat's body is made in one piece:

1. mr, 6 sc in ring (6)

2. inc around (12)

3. *sc, inc* around (18)

4. *2 sc, inc* around (24)

5. *3 sc, inc* around (30)

6. [blo] sc around (30)

7. sc around (30)

8. 13 sc, dec, 13 sc, dec (28)

9. - 10. sc around (28)

11. 12 sc, dec, 12 sc, dec (26)

12. - 13. sc around (26)

14. 11 sc, dec, 11 sc, dec (24)

15. - 17. sc around (24)

18. 10 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec (22)

19. sc around (22)

20. 9 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec (20)

21. sc around (20)

22. 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec (18)

23. sc around (18)

- stuff the body 

24. 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec (16)

25. sc around (16)

26. 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec (14)

27. sc around (14)

- stuff more

28. *sc, inc* around (21)

29. *6 sc, inc* around (24)

30. *3 sc, inc* around (30)

31. - 37. sc around (30)

Now, use a wire or a pipe cleaner bent in half. Put it in the body, so the head won't be too wobbly. You can place the safety eyes now, too, if you use them.

Embroider a small triangle in the middle of the head. This will be the nose.

You will now be working on the head flattened, putting your hook through two stitches at once.

38. ch2, 2 dc, hdc, 5 sl st. Stuff the head now. 4 sl st, hdc, 2 dc. Cut off yarn, weave in end. The body&head part is finished now!

You can use a ribbon or just plain yarn to make a collar.

Now we'll make the tail. 

1. mr, 5 sc in ring (5)

2. - 27. sc around (5)

Cut off yarn, leave enough to sew the tail to the body. 

Sew the tail on. 

Your cat is finished!

Feel free to make as many of those as you like, but please, do not claim the pattern as yours. You can sell toys made out of this pattern but please credit me as the designer by including a link in your shop or just mentioning me :)
