There are so many cute knitting patterns for plush animals, but almost none of them are beginner friendly. This little kitty is here to change that! This EASY Plush Cat Knitting Pattern is so easy, anyone with basic knitting skills can make it. It’s knit flat, in 3 pieces and then seamed together. The eyes and mouth are sewn on after you’re finished.

This little guy makes a great gift (if you’re giving this to a small child, swap out the button eyes for embroidered ones). You could also make them in black for Halloween decorations.

This is a fast knit and it’s great for making use of scrap yarn!

Take the body piece and sew to corner sides together. This creates the cat’s legs. Sew the sides together at the other side. Sew the 3rd leg and add the stuffing. Sew the 4th leg closed. Fold the head over and sew 2 of the seams. Add stuffing and sew the 3rd seam closed. To make the ears look more defined, I added a stitching line at the base. Fold the tail in half and stitch closed. Sew the tail and head on to the body.
