As you know, cats are our closest and dearest friends. Today, even though Valentine’s Day has passed, I will share a beautiful Valentine’s Day crochet cat. Actually, I have to say it looks more like a bunny than a cat. But it still looks very cute :). Especially the crochet heart pattern is really nice. I think this kind of amigurumi patterns can be a very good trial work, especially for beginners. If you have just started making amigurumi, you can make this cute kitty. Let’s start!
Kitten Daisy with Heart Crochet Pattern
Since the toy is made in white, you may be thinking of using plush yarn. I think you can try this alternative without hesitation. But please do not forget to choose a crochet hook that is suitable for the yarn.

1. Sport / 5 ply yarn
– Color for the kitten: white (Alize Cotton Gold N255) – Color for the heart: pink (Alize Cotton Gold N298)
2. Black and rose thread to embroider the face (I use the same yarn separated in half)
3. Crochet hook 2,00 mm.
4. Stuffing (Polyester Fiber Fill).
The finished toy is 10-12 cm (4-5,5″) tall
