You can take any yarn for knitting a cat. The one you love or the one that is available. If you do not want to knit a tabby cat, knit a monochromatic one. In the photo of the details I have just that, one-color. If you decide to knit a minke, then do not bother too much where what strip to do. Include imagination and you will get your own unique cat.

Assembly and design
Place the eyes between 10-11 rows
Sew the muzzle between 12-16 rows, adding filler to it.
We embroider the nose, mouth, antennae.
1. Sew the torso and head.
2. We make the cat’s face.
6 columns apart from each other
3. Move the ears, choose a good place for sewing.
4. Sew the upper legs on the sides of the body.
5. Along the line of the middle of the back, between 23-24 rows, sew a tail.
5. If the yarn is fleecy, you can comb the cat. I will comb with a piece of Velcro that comes
for fasteners in clothes.
All. Now the cat is ready. We kiss him on the nose and give him a name.
