Amigurumi Cat Reviewed by Amanda on 2009-06-18 *****
VERY easy pattern with the most adorable results! I used 7mm eyes (had them on hand and not the 9mm) and placed them closer together and it gave MY little kitty a totally different look. I opted out of the white on the tail, too. Love how his little tail props him up! You could even add a pipe cleaner inside it to make the tail posable :) Anyway, great pattern...a one day-er for someone with a bit of experience under their belt.
