Today is the weekend and the first day of December. There are only 3 weeks left until Christmas and this cute keychain kitty can accompany you for a long time. All you need to do is set aside some time during the weekend. Although the crocheted kitty is made by putting together a lot of pieces, I can easily say that the crocheted kitty is extremely durable since all the pieces are sewn.
Christmas Kitty Amigurumi Toy
As for the accessories of the toy, we see that it has a Christmas hat and a red bow tie-shaped hair clip. The kitty also has a very large and thick scarf compared to its body.
