No need to organize those yarn balls yourself, partner. This cat will round ‘em up and tangle ‘em tighter’n a tumbleweed!

This is one of the 20 patterns for tiny knitted cats in Knit Mini Amigurumi Cats! out now from David & Charles.

The pattern is worked in the round on double-pointed needles. Short rows bend the cat’s body backward for a strong tug on that yarn ball. The hat is worked as part of the body, with the top seamed with mattress stitch, and brim worked by picking up stitches.

Lots of fun techniques are incorporated in this little pattern!
