Free Crochet Tutorial: Little Cat in a Dress by Viktoria Matveeva @matveeva_toys
In this tutorial, you will crochet a small kitten girl in a dress. For amigurumi, any cotton or acrylic yarn will work, such as YarnArt Jeans, Pexorka Детская, etc. The dress is crocheted as part of the body and is not removable. The arms, ears, tail, and head are sewn on. The face can be embroidered as you wish, like in the author’s photo (whiskers can be added, and you may also tint the cheeks).
