I realized that I needed to make a new update on amigurumi patterns as of today. There were some mistakes in the crochet amigurumi patterns I shared years ago and it is time to replace them with new ones. Now I want to introduce you to a magnificent black cat amigurumi toy pattern. I think this cat amigurumi toy, which you can use especially on Halloween, can also be a good choice for Christmas.
Black Cat Figaro Crochet Pattern
The cat amigurumi toy has a very realistic design. We also see that the crochet cat toy has a design in a sitting position. Don’t forget to use wire in the tail when making a cat amigurumi toy.
