Let’s Get Started!
R1: With double strands of yarn and a 4mm hook, make a magic ring, 6 sc into the ring, sl st to the
first ch to join (Picture 1, refer Appendix for detailed tutorial for magic ring). [ 6 sc ]
- You can either work with 2 balls of yarn, or combine the both ends of one yarn ball together –one
end from the center, one end from the outside of the yarn ball.

R2: (Always mark the first st with a st marker and move the marker to the next starting st) Ch 1, inc
in each sp around (Picture 2). No sl st joining unless mentioned otherwise. Work the next st in the
arrow sp of Picture 3 (i.e: the starting st). [ 12 sc ]

R3: *1 sc next sp, inc next sp* (Pcture 4), rep ** 5 more times. [ 18 sc ]

It’s all coming together
Step 1: Thread the yarn tail of one ear through the tapestry needle (Picture 19), insert needle
through the last sl st sp of the ring dish (Picture 20, arrow), then through the base of the ear (Picture
21, arrow), rep the looping between the dish and the ear (i.e: whip st) until the piece are well attached,
weave in ends.

Step 2: Rep Step 1 to attach another ear. I placed my ears with 3 sp apart (Picture 22), feel free to
make your own adjustment and be creative with your kitty!

Step 3: Place the tail at the back of the dish, in between both ears (Picture 23), stitch it on with
whip st until well attached (Picture 24).
