Invite this cat to your next party. He’s a scream!

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

The near-seamless pattern is worked in the round on double-pointed needles. Body, head, and tail are worked separately. You’ll join 2 I-cords for the back legs, then work short rows for the curve of the body before separating into I-cords again for the front legs.

A fuzzy kitty can be made with a lace-weight mohair yarn held doubled. Or use fingering-weight yarn and size 1 DPNs.
