I bought a wonderful book called Hello My name is Amineko by Nekoyama. It's a very delightful book full of Amineko's adventures and of course there is a pattern to make the cat plus accessories.
Below is a bag of body parts all ready for stuffing and sewing up! The pattern is very simple to follow. I used a 3mm hook with DK weight yarn so the stitches would be nice and tight. I didn't want any stuffing to show through.
The first cat I made was for my fella who requested a rainbow coloured cat so I gave this kitty a stripey effect t-shirt.
Once I made the first one I had to work on two at the same time as both my girls wanted a cat too. The eldest is all pink and the youngest loves blue so they chose the colours themselves.
I had a lot of fun making these and then putting them into poses afterwards. The book is full of ideas for different poses too. I am currently working on a red coloured Amineko for my sister :-)
