You’ll start by crocheting a round head for your black cat.

  1. Round 1: Start with a magic ring, sc 6 into the ring (6).
  2. Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around (12).
  3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc around (18).
  4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around (24).
  5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc around (30).
  6. Round 6-10: Sc around (30). This forms the main body of the head.
  7. Round 11: 3 sc, dec around (24).
  8. Round 12: 2 sc, dec around (18).
  9. Round 13: 1 sc, dec around (12).
  10. Round 14: Dec around (6), fasten off, and leave a tail for sewing.

Stuff the head with fiberfill before you close it completely.

2. Ears (Make 2)

Now you will crochet the triangular ears.

  1. Round 1: Magic ring, 4 sc into the ring (4).
  2. Round 2: 1 sc, inc around (6).
  3. Round 3: 2 sc, inc around (8).
  4. Round 4: Sc around (8), fasten off, and leave a tail for sewing.

Make two ears and sew them onto the top of the head.

3. Eyes

You have two options: using safety eyes or crocheting small eye patches.

Option 1: Safety Eyes

  1. Attach the safety eyes between rounds 6 and 7 of the head, leaving about 4-5 stitches between them.

Option 2: Crochet Eyes (Yellow or Green Yarn)

  1. Round 1: Magic ring, 6 sc into the ring (6).
  2. Round 2: 1 sc, inc around (9), fasten off, and leave a tail for sewing.

Sew the eyes onto the head between rounds 6 and 7.

Pupil: Use black yarn to embroider or sew a small circle in the center of each eye.

4. Nose (Pink or White Yarn)

  1. Round 1: Ch 4, sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, sc in the next, then 3 sc in the last chain.
  2. Work along the other side of the foundation chain: sc in the next, then 2 sc in the last.
  3. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Sew the small triangle nose between the eyes.

5. Face Details (Optional)

  • Whiskers: Use black or white yarn to embroider whiskers onto the sides of the face.
  • Mouth: Use black yarn to stitch a simple “Y” shape under the nose.

Assembly:

  1. Sew the ears onto the top of the head.
  2. Attach the eyes and nose if they aren’t already in place.
  3. Add any other face details like whiskers or a mouth.

Your black cat head is now complete! This cute amigurumi project can be used as a keychain, plushie, or decoration. You can also attach it to other projects like hats, bags, or even a full cat body. Enjoy your crocheting!
