Assembly and Finishing Touches:

  1. Attach the Ears: Sew the ears to the head between rows 2 and 10.
  2. Place the Eyes: Attach the eyes between rows 10 and 11, approximately 4-5 stitches apart. (I used 6mm safety eyes.)
  3. Create the Nose: Embroider the nose with pink thread between rows 11 and 12.
  4. Sew the Head: Attach the head to the body, slightly angled with the face facing you.
  5. Sew the Back Paws: Attach the back paws at a slight angle under the body.
  6. Sew the Tail: Insert the wire into the tail (optional), then sew it to the body.

Final Touches:

  • You can add any extra details like whiskers with embroidery thread or small beads for decoration.
  • If making a keychain or charm, attach the keychain hardware to the top of the head or back.

Now your adorable Amigurumi Kitten is ready to be used as a keychain, accessory, or gift! Enjoy your little crocheted companion. 😊

This pattern is simple and ideal for beginners or for quick, small projects like keychains or accessories. Happy crocheting!
