Friends, today I want to introduce you to a very cute cat amigurumi pattern. I haven’t had the chance to share a cat amigurumi pattern for a long time, but today I will share a very realistic cat amigurumi pattern. The best part is that this cat is in a box. Of course, the box you see in the photo is crocheted using yarn.
Cat in The Box Amigurumi Pattern
We see that the head of the cat amigurumi toy is quite large, but you need to do a lot of work, especially on the cat’s face. The details of what to do are included in the pattern. If you like the cat amigurumi toy, let’s take a look at the pattern.
