Remember the Pastel cat pattern that I published on my old blog back in 2019? I recently made these chubby cat amigurumi again to make a pdf pattern and thought why not update the little changes here.
The pattern basically remains same but I’ve changed the pattern instruction style so it’s easier to understand. There’s little changes in the tail and included additional details on stripes. So I hope this new version helps to make a cute chubby cat amigurumi.
You can buy the pdf pattern with step by step instructions and detailed pictures from my Ravelry shop
