What you need to know about this pattern
The approximate size of Dolly, the little grey tabby kitten is about 3.5 inch / 9 cm. (it's depend on the yarn and the crochet hook that you use)
Every parts of the pattern are crocheted in continuous rounds. You should place a stitch marker in the last stitch of each round or use different color yarn instead.
Crochet every stitches tightly to avoid the small hole.
Use ‘invisible decrease’ instead ‘normal decrease’ to make your doll more neat.
Stuff the head and the body part firmly, the kitten will be a cute chubby one.
