The crochet pattern is my own development, therefore it is

prohibited! distribution, sale of descriptions on the Internet and
in any other form, copying of its individual parts. Finished toy
can be used of at your discretion.
The crochet pattern does not contain lessons on crocheting, the
presence of basic skills is assumed. The difficulty level is
average.
P.S. If you want to knit a cat with white elements, then look in
the pattern for the rows that are highlighted in red. What is
highlighted in red is white inserts for the black cat in the
picture, if the cat is solid, then you simply knit in a row.

If you want to make a big cat out of plush yarn like in the photo

you will need the following materials:

- Hook 5,5 mm
- Yarn Adelia Mimi - 3 skeins of gray and less than one skein of white.

- Copper wire 160-170 cm (diameter 2 mm). This wire will need to be twisted in half.
- Copper wire 70-75 cm (diameter 2 mm). This wire will need to be twisted in half.
- plastic nose 30 mm at its widest point
- plastic pupils (diameter 15 mm)
- false eyelashes

For a large cat, you need to make eyelids (for small cats, eyelids are not needed)
according to the scheme:
Cast on 7 ch, then knit in the 2nd loop from the hook:
6 sc, 1 ch, turn
1 dec, 2 sc, 1 dec, leave the yarn to sew on the eyelids above the eyes

When you start to shape the head, then just sew these eyelids over the eyes. Everything
else is done according to the pattern below.

yarn and hard to pull off in the middle (pic. 20). Cut the yarn.

To take a decorative nose, in our case we used a velvety pink nose, the widest point is 12
mm. If the nose have a "leg", remove it completely with pliers (pic. 22).

Nose stick transparent super glue to the muzzle (pic. 23).

Next, embroider the bangs the same color yarn (pic. 24).

To make holes for the eyes (pic. 25). Insert the needle with the yarn at the point 1 and
pull from point 2, then insert the needle in point 3 and pull from point 4, to tighten, to
make a strong knot in the center points 1 and 4, the ends of hide, the yarn is cut.
Make eyes. We need white polymer clay, plastic coloured pupils (in our case, yellow) and
black decorative eyelash length of 8 mm. Width eyelashes choose at your own discretion
(pic. 26).

Make balls of clay, the pupils remove the legs if they are, as well as with the nose. Insert
eyeballs in soft clay a little crushing, and carefully take out the pupils (see pic. 26). The
resulting form of the clay is sent to harden. When the clay is solid in the middle to drip a
drop of transparent super glue and paste back your pupils, so they are hard to grasp.
Waiting for complete drying and glue eye lashes super glue as shown in pic. 26. Also
embroider the cat's whiskers, in our case is used a black thin line (pic. 27).

Cat is ready! 
