Amineko Cats

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 :-)
