Ear

  • Rnd 2: (Sc in next st, inc in next st) repeat twice [6]
  • Rnd 3: (Sc in next st, inc in next st) repeat 3 times [9]

Snout

Use white yarn…

  • Rnd 1: Make 6 sc into a magic ring
  • Rnd 2: Inc in each st [12]

Fasten off with an invisible finish and leave a tail for sewing onto the head.

Making the Nose

To make the nose, use your yarn needle and embroidery floss. Sew a “V” onto the snout as pictured. In the example, the stitches were repeated 3 times each. Tie the ends securely behind the snout.

Take your sewing needle and black thread and sew a single line as pictured. Tie a neat knot at the back of the snout.

Attaching the Snout

Sew the snout onto the head with the top edge of the nose positioned halfway between the eyes.

Whiskers

To sew the whiskers, follow these steps:

  1. Thread your sewing needle with a piece of black thread about 7 inches long.
  2. Insert your thread into the opening that is four stitches away from the eye on one side, leaving about half of the thread sticking out.
  3. Flip the head inside out slightly. Sew the thread into any nearby stitch to anchor it securely so it can’t be pulled out. Ensure the stitch is not visible from the outside.
  4. Once anchored, insert the needle out of the opening as indicated in the photo. You should now have two whiskers sticking out of the face, securely anchored from the inside.
  5. Trim the whiskers to your desired length.
  6. Repeat the process for the other side of the face.

With these steps, your small kitty will have charming whiskers!
