This yarn kitten can also be made in different sizes if you want it smaller to use as a keychain or larger for display. You can also change the color of the yarn and personalize the kitten to your preference. Making this kitten is very simple and easy, you just have to follow the instructions written below and make sure to watch the video tutorial as well for more details.
Step 1: Head
First, make a cardboard template with a 6.5cm or 2.5 inches width and another with a 5cm or 2 inches width. Cut the middle of the template lengthwise to make a slit as shown in the video, then grab the smaller template, and start making the head of the kitten. Cut a piece of gray yarn, then insert it through the slit, grab another strand of gray yarn, and wrap it around the template crosswise 110 times. Wrap white yarn beside it 30 times, then tie them together with the piece of gray yarn on the slit, and remove the looped yarn from the cardboard.Pull the yarn tightly around the loop, then knot it securely, and make another set with just gray yarn wrapped around 140 times. Place them on top of each other, then tie them together tightly, and cut through the loops. Fluff it out, then trim it until round-shaped, and set it aside.Step 2: Body and Feet
Get the 6.Step 3: Tail, Cheeks, and Assembly
Wrap the white yarn 15 times around the fork, then tie it tightly with a long strand of yarn. Wrap around the gray yarn 15 times, then use the excess tail of the previous white looped yarn to tie them together, and keep repeating the same steps until you’ve completed the tail as demonstrated in the video.
