We knit exactly the same second leg, in the last row we unknit a few stitches, so that the end of the row is exactly on the left (see photo), I had 3Sc left unknitted, we do not cut off the thread on the second leg.

Be careful, everyone has a different knitting density and way of gripping the thread, so you may need to not knit stitches on the first leg or knit extra stitches on the second leg.

We fill both legs tightly.

Ears

The ears are knitted from two parts, one in the main color and one in an additional color.

We start knitting with a piece of an additional color.

We knit in turning rows. At the end of each row, make a Ch and turn the knitting.

1. We cast on 2Ch, in the second loop from the hook we knit 3Sc (3)

10. İnc, 10Sc (12)

11. 11Sc, İnc (13) KNITTING DOES NOT OPEN

We knit a chain of 3Ch, turn the knitting so that the ear looks down (see photo) from the second loop from the hook we knit 2Sc and Sl-st in the last loop before the chain Ch.

On the part of an additional color thread fasten and cut.

We knit a piece of the main color in exactly the same way, after which we put both pieces together and knit in a circle Sc, in the top loop of the ear, knit (Hdc, Dc, Hdc). We finish knitting with Sl-st, secure the thread, if you plan to sew with the same thread, then leave the tip for this.

I sew with cotton thread, so I cut the thread and hide the tip inside the piece.

ATTENTION!

When tying the parts of the second ear together, please note that the protrusion on the ear (chain Sc) should point in the opposite direction from the first ear, so the parts must be folded so that the protrusion faces the other direction (see photo) and the binding will be in the opposite direction

Nose

We knit with black cotton yarn and crochet number 2.

1. We cast on a chain of 6Ch, from the second loop from the hook we knit 4Sc, 3Sc in one loop, on the other side of the chain – 3Sc, İnc (12)

2. 12Sc (12)

We fasten the thread, leaving the tip for sewing.

We embroider a highlight with white thread.

Eyes

We knit with white cotton yarn and crochet number 2.

1. We cast on a chain of 6Ch, from the second loop from the hook we knit 4Sc, 3Sc in one loop, on the other side of the chain 3Sc, İnc (12)

2.İnc, 3Sc, 3İnc, 3Sc, 2İnc (18)

3.1Sc, İnc, 3Sc, (1Sc, İnc)*3, 3Sc, (1Sc, İnc)*2 (24)

5.3Sc, İnc, 3Sc, (3Sc, İnc)*3, 3Sc, (3Sc, İnc)*2 (36)

6.4Sc, İnc, 3Sc, (4Sc, İnc)*3, 3Sc, (4Sc, İnc)*2 (42)

Try the eyes to the head, you may need to make a row less or more, keep in mind that there will be one more row of binding. If you need to increase, then make the required number of rows with uniform increases according to the same principle as the previous ones.

We fasten the thread on the first part and cut it off.

We knit exactly the same second piece, without cutting the thread.

Now we need to connect two eyes, for this we knit Sc on the second part until the first increase, and we knit the first stitch of increase, we will already knit the second together with the second part (If you knitted the same number of rows as I did, then you need to knit 5 Sc ).

We put the parts together with the front sides facing each other, we will knit on the wrong side.

For convenience, you can mark on both parts the last loop of the first increase and the first loop of the next increase.

We knit the loops of both parts Sc, I got 9Sc.

We turn the knitting with the front side towards us, make a Ch and knit in a circle using Sc, at the end we make a Sl-st in the first Ch.

Leave the thread for sewing.

If the fabric is a little askew, you can simply straighten it carefully with your hands, pulling in the desired direction.

Pupil

We knit with black cotton yarn, crochet number 2.

1.6Sc in MR (6)

2. We close the ring using Sl-st, leaving the thread for sewing.

Decor

We sew the pupil to the eye, approximately in the middle, after that we sew the eyes to the head; for convenience, you can pre-fix them with pins.

Sew on the nose, add a little filler if necessary.

We embroider the mustache, mouth and eyebrows with black thread.

To hide the threads from embroidery, insert the thread at one point, leaving a tail; after finishing the work, bring it out exactly at the same point, make a knot and then hide it inside the head.

We sew on the ears, starting from the very top of the head. And your Kitten is ready!
