young cat (no sewing) - crochet pattern by NiggyArts

Product description

Doesn't this cat look alive? Its dynamically shaped body also gives it a realistic appearance.
The advantage of this pattern is that anyone with some crocheting experience should be able to get this realistic shape exactly like this, as no individual parts (except for ears and eyes) have to be sewn on and therefore no positioning errors can occur. For ears and eyes, the exact positions are also described in the pattern. For example, when crocheting the head, markings can be set according to the instructions, where later the individual parts can be easily attached to sew on.

Crochet makes you happy and this pattern should make you especially happy if you are crocheting your own very special cat that you can be particularly proud of.

With a little acrylic paint, the crocheted cat can be given a tabby pattern (description in the pattern).

Katze gehäkelt

Hätte nicht gedacht, dass es so gut klappt. Bei den Beinen war es manchmal etwas schwierig , wenn man sie an den Körper gehäkelt hat, aber es ging dann doch ganz gut. Hab 2 gehäkelt für meine beiden Enkelkinder.

Perfekte Anleitung. Supergut zu verstehen.

Ich war begeistert, dass auch immer der natürlich Versatz bei den Runden berücksichtigt wurde. Es gibt nichts, was aus dem Ruder läuft. Einfach toll. Habe lediglich die Augenform ein wenig verändert und nicht angemalt. Habe mich nicht getraut, sind bei mir Siamkatzen geworden. Bei dem linken Hinterbein habe ich bei der weißen Pfote 2 Runden mehr gemacht, weil es sonst kürzer war, als die anderen Beine. Aber das ist nur als kleiner Hinweis meinerseits gedacht, weil die Anleitung wirklich perfekt ist. Großes DANKE

Sehr süße Katze

Diese Anleitung ist wirklich gut, sehr detailliert und jeder Schritt ist ausführlich beschrieben. Es ist toll, dass man kaum etwas annähen muss. Auch wenn es etwas unbequem ist, die Beine anzuhäkeln.... ich hatte gefühlt immer eine bereits fertige Katzen-Pfote im Gesicht :-) Aber das weiß man ja vorher. Und durch das Reinhäkeln sind alle Beine sofort an der richtigen Position. Alle Proportionen passen auch super! Und bitte: Keine Angst vor dem Bemalen der Streifen. Das klappt wirklich gut. Eine tolle Anleitung, gerade für Katzen-Fans. Und, was auch toll ist: Sollten Fragen auftauchen, bekommt man von der Autorin ganz schnell, sehr nett Auskunft. Das war schon meine zweite Anleitung, die ich bei NiggyArts gekauft habe und ich bin super zufrieden!

So süß die kleine

Ich fand die Anleitung sehr gut umsetzbar und das Ergebnis ist echt süß. Nur das Stopfen hab ich auf später verschoben, ging auch gut.

Geht so

Bin absolut keine Anfängerin,hatte aber meine liebe Not mit dieser Katze. Ich habe nicht nach Anleitung mit Füllwatte gestopft,sondern immer so spät wie möglich. Das Endprodukt wurde wie beschrieben. Obwohl ich mir extra Katzenaugen gekauft hab, gefällt mir die Mimik nicht. Also, Anfänger, Finger weg

    Hallo,
    kann man die Katze auch mit Chenille Wolle häkeln oder wird sie dann zu instabil?

      Hallo, Chenille geht auch wenn es entsprechend fest gehäkelt und ausgestopft wird. LG
