I love cats in general. Growing up, cats always seemed to naturally come into my life for one reason or another.
Currently I have 2 cats but here’s Hobbes, our female orange tabby, with the kitty mods.
I imagine a world run on Kitty Energy. Kitties would be the source of everything, pretty much from fruits, vegetables, desserts, random objects, transportation, weather, and so on.
But before I could populate such a world with these different type of Kitties, I wanted to create a very simple basic cat amigurumi pattern, and so this is the result.
I call this crochet pattern “Kitty Mod” because I imagine all these different kitties with different mods (short for modifications) to them, and I see them all frolicking about in this wonderful universe.
You can see Strawberry Kitty Mod, S’mores Kitty Mod, and Candy Corn Kitty Mod. I have the customizations for them listed below the pattern and hope to keep adding to the mix. I’m also super curious what other Kitty Mods you guys cook up so be sure to tag me on my Instagram so I get to see!
Happy Crocheting! Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog to get all the latest pattern updates!
I’ve also created a video crochet tutorial for how to crochet this Kitty amigurumi from beginning to end. Crochet along with me! Please enjoy 🙂

ASSEMBLY
1. Sew Head to Body
2. Sew 2 Legs to Front of Body
3. Sew 2 Legs to Back of Body
4. Sew Tail (optional)
5. Make eyes for the cats. I like to cut 2 small black circles from felt and glue them on with Fabri-tac. You can also embroider the eyes or use safety eyes.
6. Cut and hide all ends.

September 26, 2014 at 3:52 amThanks so much for this pattern! I have just finished all of the pieces. I love how the head came out! Mine is a light pink. Its late, so will have to sew her all together in the morning. I have a feeling my granddaughter will want a whole bunch in different colors! HUGS TO YOU!
