Free pattern: Neko Atsume #2
As promised, here is the second neko atsume pose pattern! You can find the first, a sitting pose, here. I made Shadow but feel free to adjust the colours to make any cat youβd like. :)
For this particular cat I used a 2.25 mm hook, sport/5 ply yarn, and 4.5 mm safety eyes.
Be sure to stuff very firmly! The number between the brackets after the instructions of every round is the total amount of stitches that will be in that round.
1. 6 in a magic circle [6]Β This will be the top side of the head
14. ( 4 sc, dec) x 6 [30] Β Place the safety eyes between row 10 and 11
15. ( 3 sc, dec) x 6 [24] Β Embroider the snout now if you prefer to do it before stuffing
16. ( 2 sc, dec) x 6 [18] Β Slowly start stuffing while crocheting along
18. ( dec ) x 6 [6] Β Finish off and shut. Leave a long thread.
With some black thread, embroider the snout if you havenβt already.
1. 4 in a magic circle [4]Β This will be the top of the ear
3. ( inc ) x 6 [12]Β Finish off. Donβt stuff or shut. Leave a long thread.
Fold the ears into flat shapes. Sew the ears on top of the head.Β
1. 5 in a magic circle [5]
2. sc, inc, sc, inc, sc [7]
3-10. sc around Β Finish off the first leg, but do not finish off the second leg!
When youβre finished with your second leg, donβt finish off. Itβs time to merge the two legs into one piece that will be the beginning of the main body.Β
Continue from your second leg and chain 5 sc. Continue from your chain and join it to the first leg, and sc around all 7 sc from the first leg. Make 5 sc over one side the chain youβve just made and sc around all 7 sc from the second leg. Continue crocheting onto the chain and make 5 sc on the other side than the one youβve just crocheted on. You now have a round of in total [24 sc] and you can continue to work in rounds.
Body (continue from the two joined legs)
1-5. sc around [24] Β Start stuffing the legs
6. ( 7 sc, inc ) x 3 [27]
15. ( 3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]
16. ( 2 sc, dec) x 6 [18] Β Start stuffing
16. ( dec ) x 6 [6] Β Finish off and shut. Work away your thread.
Sew the head onto the main body, just above the place where the two legs join into one.

Sew the rear legs on the bottom of the body. Sew the tail at the back of the lower back. For some tips on making a tail that you can easily pose, check out the first pattern here. Also donβt forget to embroider his adorable tiny butt! Yay, youβre done!
