realistic cat - crochet pattern by NiggyArts

In this tutorial I explain how you can crochet a realistic looking cat. She looks almost alive like a real cat.
I also describe different examples of variations: how the eyes can be created in different ways (crocheted, embroidered ...), whether the tail should protrude or hang, and how the cat's pattern can be varied.
Despite many pictures and detailed explanations, I only recommend the instructions for crocheters with experience.
Also have a look at my help-video on youtube. Search for niggyarts.

The instructions do not include a basic crochet course.
The crochet pattern is not suitable for beginners.

    Ich hab mal eine Frage zu der Anleitung beim Körper der Katze: da steht ja, dass man eine LM-Kette von 10LM anschlagen soll und dann in die 3. LM inkl. der auf der Nadel 3fm häklen muss. Heißt dass dann das man beim Abzählen, welches die 3.LM ist, man die Schlaufe auf der Nadel mitzählt? Weil dann hat man ja quasi eine 11-LM-Kette und am am Ende wenn man in eine 3, danach 6 einzelne fm und danach nochmal in eine 3fm macht, dann bleibt ja eine LM übrig, weil man die 11LM am Anfang ja mitgezählt hat oder?
    Oder muss man die Schlaufe auf der Nadel gar nicht mitzählen und ich hab das nur falsch verstanden? Oder muss man nur 9LM anschlagen und die Schlaufe auf der Nadel dann als 10. LM gelten lassen?

      Mit 10 LM anschlagen ist gemeint: du machst eine Schlaufe = 1. LM + weitere 9 LM. Das ergibt eine LM-Kette von 10 LM. Dann häkelst du in die 3. LM von der Häkelnadel aus (überspringst also 2 LM inklusive die auf der Häkelnadel) und häkelst in diese 3. LM 3 fM... Es sollten auf diese Art und Weise also 8 LM behäkelt werden.
