*Add eyes between round 19-20 and about 3 stitches

careful to center the eyes with the feet and then the
tail in the back.

* Depending on the yarn used you may need to add
more stitches so that you can close the kitty head
from one side to the next without starting in the
middle. Add 3 or more sc stitches continuing the
previous round. See 2nd and 3rd picture above.
Close Kitty Head:
Be sure that your kitty is nice and round by placing
stuffing inside and stretching out the body to be
filled completely. Do not over stuff at the top. The
ears will naturally point up when you push down the
center after closing.
-Close by weaving in and out of the back loops.
Secure and fasten off.

Leave a 14-16 in. yarn tail.
*Close by weaving in and out of the back loops. Now
place the tail so that it lays nicely to the side of the cat.
Weave the yarn tail in and out of the tail and body to
secure it to the kitty. The tail should remain curled to
the side of the body.

Row 3: 7 hdc, ch. 1. turn

*Leave a 12-14 in.l tail. *Sew in the shorter tail to
the middle and f/o. Next,with the other longer tail
weave it into the middle then wrap it around 4-5
times to create a bow.
Attach The Bow:
Begin by attaching to kitty body
by weaving through the bow
and the body. I like the look
of it diagonally near the ear.
